GREEF line causing grief I see. I'll see myself out...

Betting Kap is playing injured since his crash with the boards against Winnipeg. Haven't seen his explosive first step since then. At least not the same way as in the last season.

Willing to bet that Greenway gets traded and Beckman takes his spot during the season. Greenway just reminds me of Coyle way too much.

One or two superstars won't cut it, just ask Edmonton.

Wild and Chicago aren't going to Traverse anymore, they broke off from it and have formed their own prospect showcase for the time being.

Funny how he returns right after Parise and Suter buyouts.

Benn is a serviceable 6-7th defender. Plays the role well enough, stay-at-home D with grit. Sticking a good prospect into that spot is a waste, unless you know the prospect in question isn't going to be better than a bottom-two defender. Better to get top minutes in Iowa.

Probably because they won't get term here with our two buyouts. I mean, nobody in their right mind would go to a team that gives less term/money than the other ones. We need a 1C the most, but I wouldn't want to wreck the future for Eichel.

Seeler is also available it seems. Would give Wild some snarl in the backend.

Taken from comment section: Minnesota Wild connection with CF? Check Defensively responsible? Check Able to model correct D behavior for young D-men? Check Shorter contract than Hamilton, but longer than Jones? Check Right-handed? No (can’t have everything). As long as it is no more than 6*4, this would be a win. A big win. Sign the contract the day after the draft, CF. Maybe even protect JVR. And first response: Point three is important.

Luckily I wasn't a part of that posse. But yeah, sometimes the homerism was bad, especially the Koivu fandom. Nevertheless, finns weren't the only fans suffering from rampant homerism. Oh, the good ol' days.

Oh gods, the whole 'message board mafia' debacle. Still remember that.

Just got one word for this: Wowza!

Mmhm, and if they do win, it's smug face time!

Whatever happens, it's been fun. Go Wild! On a sidenote: hope Wild win just so I can rub it in the face of my coworker, he loathes the Wild.
