    I would have preferred they would have stayed pat for the most part and try to figure out a way to keep Fiala but when Jost came in that pretty much made sure Fiala was moving. What BG did was moves that he could do on the cheap for the most part and gave the team a good chance to improve. Will they? That remains to be seen. What seems exciting now could look very different in the rear view mirror in three weeks or a year from now.

    I can’t keep up…

    So much for BG saying you cant trade yourself out of a slump. Grant these moves all make very good sense and address a weakness.

    Did you tweet that health bomb thing too? LOL I just exactly read a tweet almost word for word.

    No I just plagiarize dumb tweets that I think are clever. Just kidding, that Fiala chick is my sh!it posting twitter handle.

    You should see Victoria Rask!!

    I think I did see someone post that a while back for Women’s Day or something. Brett Marshall maybe?

    My guess was Parise for a conditional 7th just so they could health bomb him 22 more times.

    I think more impressive aspect of the moves today is that the Wild didn’t give up any of their known assets/prospects (outside of Kaapo who they likley weren’t resigning anyways) just a few unknown draft picks..

    We still have Rossi, Wallstedt, Beckman, Addison, Lambos, Hunt, O’Rourke, Khusnidinov, Peart, etc, etc

    Russo on KFAN coming up.

    Sounds like there’s a small but important trade TRICKLING IN late. Dadonov to the Ducks. Would allow Stone to come off LTIR as long as Martinez or some other $5m AAV contract (pacioretti, smith, and lehner are all hurt too) is on LTIR.

    I was hoping so bad for that trade to happen in the next few days or weeks after the deadline just to see Hockey Twitter go apocalytic.

    Surprising its taking so long for this to be announced.

    They complicated things by mentioning orange weighted pucks. So now it is between a full bag of Black pucks, 2 bags of blue pucks or 1/2 bag of orange.

    It is all about weight vs quantity.

    Joking. But I think I have the right player and team.

    Francis was asked about it and declined to comment.

    Russo confirmed an “interesting name” that’s not currently on the NHL roster is leaving. Credited some fishing forum dude named wormdunker as his source.

    SEA sure has a lot of draft capital now. 12 picks. Wonder if they move any of them at time of the draft to get some more skill.

    My God they botched the expansion draft.

    But they have goaltending apparently.

    yeah they sure did. I think they thought they would swindle teams but it failed miserably.

    Russo tweeting that there are still teams on hold with NHL to have their trades approved….and the Wild are one of them.

    I think it was worth a shot with Fleury. The Wild have a good team but not gonna win the Cup with our current goaltending. It just wasn’t working out with Kaapo, so time to move on.

    Nothing lost with Fleury trade IMO.
    A late second if it doesn’t work out.
    I have no problem giving up a first for a conference final or beyond. Pretty sure most teams would make that move. Didn’t mortgage much of anything.

    I don’t think Jost means Fiala is gone. That remains to be seen. But we have seen when one of our top 9 go down we didn’t have much to fill in. Jost may be that guy.

    D-LO let’s go. If you sitting half the games and you want to insert some energy and heaviness Bjugstad isn’t that guy. Either is Dewy 1 or 2 for that matter.

    Middleton- it’s not Ben so that’s a plus.

    Did I read it right that Rask was sent to their ahl affiliate?

    I know they’re just highlights but man, I liked the set of highlights the pregame show had of Middleton.
