to provide offense and superstardom. |

| Strengths: |
| Great skater, intelligent with the puck, great offensive
skills. |

| Potential: |
| Marian is the Wild's superstar even though management
won't tell you this straight out. He is looked to provide
offense, put fans in the seat and then take them out
of those seats with his exciting play and speed. He
had a hold out due to his player agent in 2003 and missed
most of the training camp. He is without a doubt one
of the NHL's most promising young stars. |
