    That's what a number 1 overall pick gets you. Hard to get that picking number 14.

    With the Wild's cap issues, if Fleury will sign a 1 year deal for the minimum, which he hinted at, the Wild should trade Gus and play Wall and Flower. Take the spare Gus money and get a right handed forward.

    Mackinin with only 7 hattys, that's hard to believe !

    As I don’t, can you tell why Sammy Walker got such a short tryout this year? He kind of tore it up in preseason and got a 2 game tryout on 2 different lines, probably a total of 14 minutes in 2 games.

    Maybe demand is the wrong term, but just as they advised Rossi, they should advise these older guys. Maybe in the future he should start adding it to the older guys contract.

    Fleury showing why he is the prank king. Duhaime never had a chance.

    All the players 30 years old and above need to be on a more aggressive workout routine. That would be Hartman, Foligno, Gaudreau, Johansson, Spurgeon and Bogosian. After 30 it really gets tough. BG should really start demanding a stronger fitness program for these older guys. This year Johansson really fell apart when his shift time got extended, you could almost predict the goal coming when he got trapped on the ice for a while.

    Wild win 4-0! While I don’t mind the win because it's Wallstedt's first with a shutout, I would have liked to improve our chances for a better draft pick. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

    Kaprizov with goal #41 from a beautiful drop pass from Faber. Had flashbacks of Neil Broten in the NorthStars days.

    The Arizona thing just doesn't make sense. Big market, yes, but most of the hockey fans are snowbirds or vacationers. Their attendance proves there isn’t enough support. I think Bettman is letting his pride influence his decisions.

    Correct on all counts Illa. I'm sure at some point Bedard is going to have to learn the D side of the game and then look out.
  12. Tomdog
    All this Bedard talk is so over rated, he isn't even playing as well as Rossi.
  13. Tomdog
    Freddy finally scores.
  14. Tomdog
    Rossi with the goal, now it's Faber's turn.
  15. Tomdog
    That's 40 for Kk Alexandron.
  16. Tomdog
    All I want out of this game is for Faber and Rossi to score and Bedard to not.

    The Wild or Guerin? In my opinion there should be a worst GM award to offset the GM of the year award. BG would be a top candidate this year. Other than claiming Chisholm, getting a 3rd for Duhaime and trading for Bogosian, I don’t see much to brag about.

    If they're playing guys because the owner wants, we can give up hope on ever seeing them win a Cup.
  19. Tomdog
    What do you mean, didn't you see Marco Rossi standing up to Stanley?
  20. Tomdog
    KK needs another to get to 40
  21. Tomdog
    That's the whole get into the playoffs and anything can happen mindset. Get in and you're a chip,chair and a chance from a Stanley Cup. Reality is good, well constructed, well coached teams win the Cup. I believe this team is good, the rest not so much.

    Especially when some of those vets are playing like sandbags. Insane that on the days where the 4th line is pulling more than their weight, they still don't get playing time. Does Gaudreau and Johansson have something in their contracts about getting a minimum amount of ice time?
  23. Tomdog
    Yea if they had Spurgeon, they wouldn't have Chisolm or Bogosian, and they would probably make the playoffs and lose in the 1st round. If the team had been honest with themselves they would have worked on their future instead of fighting a lost cause. They could have revamped their pathetic PP. They could have given their young guys more ice time and development. And the reward would have been a top 10 or better draft position and, a better PP, and a better 4th line. But that opportunity is long gone.
  24. Tomdog
    That's 140 goals from the top of the lineup. Another 15 from the 4th line and another 40 from the D. That's 195 expected goals. Where do the other 65 come from?
  25. Tomdog
    I guess I should amend my statement on the Wild's talent. The Wild's talent isn't as good as the casual fan thinks.
