This reminds me of when they were for sure 100% trading Foligno after he got a bogus game misconduct in the 2023 playoffs
Not saying they won’t trade Hartman eventually, just have a little patience and don’t dump him out of desperation. Like when the leafs panic dumped Kadri after another playoff sussy, that didn’t work out well for Leafs at all
Jeez overreact much. He can’t be waived with a NMC and they’re not terminating his contract. They’re already in LTIR with Kirill out, they should be able to call up whoever they want.
Lot of season left, let’s see how this plays out. Hartman is one of the few Wild players who actually shows up for the playoffs.
Oh how easy it is to forget about KK. 
Definitely don’t think they would just dump him. Tough year for him sure, but his previous 2 were pretty solid. I don’t hate Hartley as much as some do.
Scott Wheeler’s Annual NHL Team prospect ranking is slowly getting released each day and the Wild are in the Top 5 again for 2025. Its down to the Wild, Blackhawks, RedWings, San Jose and Montreal…
My guess is the Wild will be ranked #2 just behind Montreal or possibly #1 if Scott graduates Slofkovsky and Hutson as full time NHLers…
Buium and Jiricek additions and Stramel’s comeback season will boost the Wild bigtime in this years ranking…
Detroit ranked #5 today
Danila Yurov is starting to heat up a bit in the KHL with goals in back to back games and 8 points in his last 9 games (24 points on the season, tied for 3rd on the team, he leads them in goals) all while still only getting about 15 minutes of icetime a game and now on the 2nd & 3rd line after announcing he wasn’t going to re-sign with them after this season… start to get hyped Wild fans, this kid is the real deal!
it’s tough to find clips of his games online, but “SpokedZ” on twitter always shows video of his goals:

Well, I’ll bet there was some creative use of The King’s English in the Wild GM office when they announced “Hartzy’s” 10 game suspension. Way to go Hartman, you moron.
The Wild’s hands are pretty much tied now, nothing to really do but ride it out. But hopefully this will result in the right move, which is to get rid of Hartman asap this summer.
Stramel made a heck of a move landing at MSU.
Its like we’ve completely forgot how to make and catch a simple pass since Montreal… so many turnovers…

Said every Wild fan for the last twenty years!

Ovi scoring an empty netter with .01 of a second left is so Ovi and awesome, he’s only 17 away now…
There was some talk in here after Patrik Laine and Phil Kessel denied trades to Minnesota. Minnesota not named at all in The Athletic player poll question

Strange you don’t see the no income tax states on that list 
(besides Vegas who probably got 2 votes from Flower & Thompson)
I don’t get the overwhelming Jets hate as they have a passionate fanbase (yes they don’t sell out every game due to the small market and economics) and have been a relatively competitive team over the years…I mean does it really suck that much living in Winnipeg?
Have you spent any time there? Like in the city?
Ahhh Winnipeg… the city of stop lights
Ahhh Winnipeg… the city of stop lights
It’s just a big St. Cloud in that sense. Takes so long to get through.
ok, so its the city then…
I’m sure the city, taxes, weather, location, travel, etc. all play into it
And nothing really positive to offset any of that
Another waiver claim… Forward Vinnie Hinostroza from Nashville
Ive seen that Winnipeg is actually doing really well with attendance this year. So that is a good thing. I think most of it is the weather and the taxes and the past where no one showed up. I was in downtown Winnipeg during college, yes, that is a LONG time ago and it was pretty dumpy. Im sure its much different now. In fact the one bar we wanted to go to since they had a quiet riot concert we swung in a hotel because we got lost wandering the streets and told them where we wanted to go and they looked at us and said “you want to go there? Someone was murdered there just last week in a bar fight”. We went anyway and it was a total dump and didnt go in because they wanted us to pay full price even through it was an hour into the concert.
Jets attendance is getting better but still not selling out, and with the smallest building in the league they kind of need to and should be selling out every night. Pretty sure they sold out every game before 2020, and have taken a big hit since then
I can’t think of a less desirable city in the NHL to actually reside.

The season ticket holder who owns the seats next to me at the Wild games probably stub hubs off about 35 of the home games every year. No idea why, but because of this we have a lot of one-game opposition fans sitting next to us. And there are Jets fans sitting for EVERY game vs Winnipeg.
So a couple of years ago there was a pretty good snowstorm the day of the Wild game vs the Jets and the seats next door are strangely empty for half of the first period. Then there’s a stop in play and in come the Jets fans, husband and wife festooned in head-to-toe whiteout Jets getups, etc.
So I said to the guy, let’s try to get here on time, c’mon. And he tells me they were lucky to get here at all, drove in a blizzard most of the way from Winnipeg. Took them almost twice as long as usual and they had even left 4 hours early because he knew the forecast had said for the past week that they would be driving through a storm. And the forecast was right.
And I said, that’s crazy, you risked near-certain death by driving through a storm you knew was coming for a full week just to get to a hockey game?
And he says… “No! Not just for a hockey game. I promised her a day of shopping at the Mall of America as well. And, ya know…”
And then the kicker…
“Man, have you ever been to Winnipeg? Like, in the winter??? You’d drive through a snowstorm too.”
Pretty much says it all.

I bet Lauko has surgery soon…

Lauko now to IR and you’re right, I’d bet heading to LTIR soon.
Lots of trade speculation around Buffalo Sabres Center Dylan Cozens (2019 #7 overall pick, we took Boldy at #12)
If he’s still available this offseason (when we have capspace) if you’re GMBG and you still have doubts about Marco Rossi as a long term 1C, do you give them a call and see if they would do a swap (we include one of our Iowa Wild defenseman too)
Cozens is 23 years old, RH shot Center who’s huge (6’3”) and can skate and he’s locked in at $7.1 aav for the next 5 years… he had a 30 goal season a few years ago, but like the rest of the Sabres, the last few years have been down ones… Put him in a healthy team environment with good linemates and he could take off…
Again, this is all based on if Billy isn’t sold on Marco long term… if so Cozens would be a good option to look into…
Lots of fans are questioning if he’s truly available and if so, why is Buffalo giving up on him so early after he proved he can be successful in the NHL? My guess is because its dysfunctional Buffalo and maybe they like the many high end Center prospects they have coming better??

Montreal ranked #3 today, so its down to the Sharks and Wild. He’ll likely have Will Smith and Celibrini graduated out of prospect designation so its gotta be the Wild at #1, we’ll find out tomorrow morning..
I am giving you wild fans a heads up ahead of time. Me and the boy are going to the game so don’t bother watching tonight. Your welcome
If I remember right Rip, your last home game was that Oilers game on national TV that didn’t start until after 9. If the 6:30 puck drop sticks you’re gonna get home plenty earlier this time!
That is accurate. That was brutal.
That was all urine missile
Can’t break out.
