Good question. Are players self-insured through players union? Would think league would have some consistency rather than each club providing team insurance....
Bergeron, Toews both available. Maybe. Maybe not.
Zach Parise, anyone? Tarasenko? Hell, Patrick Kane.....
Wheeler in Winnipeg and Duschesne in Colorado released for buyouts.
Would think Minnesota might take a chance on a veteran center, even if he's not ready to play, right away......
Good news for Minnesota Wild fans wanting to see Charlie Stramel
NCAA Icebreaker, Oct. 13-14
Oct. 13 Wisconsin at Bemidji (Minn.) State University, Sanford Center
Oct. 14 Wisconsin at University of North Dakota, Ralph Engelstad Arena, Grand Forks
He will be coached at Wisconsin by Mike Hastings, who just left a successful run at Mankato State to lead the Badgers.
Associated Press reports team identified six properties in the East Valley for potential purchase. These, apparently, would not require a public referendum. Interesting draft picks, but not too many 6-5 skating wingers pop up....
Don't have TV coverage, but loved wire photo of Arizona Coyotes execs arriving like a bachelor party for the draft in snazzy and matching maroon suits!
Several mock drafts have Wild taking Oshawa Generals centre Calum Ritchie in first round. He's from Brampton, Ont., 6-2, 187 lbs., reportedly strong skater. Shoots right. Had 24 goals, 35 assists for 59 pts in 59 games.
