    Is it just me or does it seem like the Wild took a back seat on the first day of free agency?

    We’ve been saying the past few weeks that we had the cap space to add a legitimate scoring threat, and from what it sounds like, we didn’t even make a move today.

    All the top tier forwards such as Camarreli, Gaborik, Gomez, Heatley, Hossa and the Sedin sisters have all found a home and we didnt get in on the action like we said we would.

    Out of the top tier forwards, only one left on free agency is Martin Havlat.

    Maybe I’m jumping the gun here but I would like to see us make a move here soon!

    What do you guys think?

    IMO, we either pick up Havlat, or deal Harding to Columbus in a package deal for Rick Nash. If we cannot get the scoring threats we desired, then we should do our best to strengthen our Defense and make a play for Scudari.

    I agree, they should have made some kind of move.

    Typical Minnesota pro team. They all just sit on butts doing nothing. This town is a sewer of mediocrity.

    Just saw they picked up Havlat.

    Interesting that Gabrick signed for just a little more per year than the Wild had been offering him.

    Saku Koivu just went to the Ducks At this point I really dont see how the Wild are going to be any better than last year?? Maybe there is a breaking in period with a new coach and GM?
