  1. As a Wild fan, I completely agree with your post. Look how well the Wild are doing without top flight centre play.
  2. I think Matt was a heck of a hockey player, and probably one of the best journeyman out there, but not HOF. Would the average hockey fan from a city that Matt never played for know who he was or how he played? I doubt it. And that is one of my criteria for HOF.
  3. Looked it up for you. Keith Christiansen. Roger Godin. John Mayasich. Lou Nanne. Chuck Pillsbury. Lance Pitlick. Glen Sonmor. Butch Williams.
  4. This topic does open a different discussion. Does being a quality NHL journeyman for 20 years make you deserving of a HOF?
  5. And how many when you add in the multiple times he played for Pitt, Florida, and?
  6. I would go with Matt Cullen. If my google work is correct, 8 teams with several returns. A really “good “ player, but probably never considered great. But a player that teams liked to have on the roster.
  7. It doesn’t hurt that Faber is a Minnesota boy either. Also a key piece in the Fiala trade.
  8. As stated this could be Matt Dumba 2.0 or the signing of the year. Waiting another year for Faber to prove it could have cost the Wild another 1-1/2 to 2 mill a year. Hind sight is always easier, unfortunately BG doesn’t have a crystal ball.
  9. Well put on Kap, I guess I’m just always going to be a 3 way player kind of guy. Must score, must hit, must kill penalties.
  10. I can only really speak to the Wild and I would probably have to go with EEK over Kaprizov for the same reasons, a more complete player. If Kirill starts taking faceoffs that would probably change pretty quickly.
  11. TFG, there really isn’t much else to say after that absolutely spot on post. The only excuse Brisebois can come up with for his idiotic decision on Stamkos would be some bad drugs. I only wish the Wild were the ones to take advantage of a future hall of famer.
  12. Hunt and Lambos need to show more soon before I start looking at them as top 4 potential.
  13. After seeing the free agent inflation that went on this year I have backed off on the Trenen overpay bandwagon. It seems to me this year there was a lot of overpayment.
  14. I guess the question that needs answering is, are there future top 4 defenseman in Iowa? Yea we have Faber and now Buium, and I think Chisolm, but after that who is top 4 material? IMO Middelton is 2nd pairing when he is playing well and 3rd pairing on a true cup contender. So who are we holding back?
  15. In that way BG drives me crazy. Certainty in the system with players he knows. Fine. But many of the players he knows in the farm system, have shown that they are not anything more than 4th line wannabe’s. Yet we keep them.
