Woah!!!!!!! Hanging on by their claws.

MN gets BU next, huge escape. That is going to be a fun one.

Someone here (Dr. Jan?) mentioned we should try to sign him awhile back and I don’t hate it. Guy has improved every year and you can’t teach size

He's in a good position to pick his team. Im sure more than one NHL team will seek his services.

A right hander with shooting talent is a desperate need for this team. Our 3rd and 4th line are a mess, Foligno, Freddy, and MarJo should probably all be shut down if we lose another game, so he would have a spot for a quick pay day and then fair competition for next season.

They have $2m left in Spurgeon's LTIR cap space they can still use.

They might not have a 50 man roster spot left though. 48/50 currently, but 2 (Ohgren and Haight) are currently on the exempt list. I think (?) they come off that list if MN recalls them to their AHL.NHL team.

The thing that I care most about is the improving every year part. Ok, I like the size too, I'm a base bastard like most hockey people, but I also think predictable improvement year-after-year is the way to the NHL.

It was ~85% a rip on Stramel, but yes, I wouldn't mind it. I also wouldn't have any illusions of him being any kind of diamond in the rough. Big, cheap, 4C at best.

Unfortunately, all three of those players are signed for next year and beyond. Nelson and his agent will know that, and will also know that Sammy Walker, his former long time teammate and captain, is languishing in the AHL, and will probably talk to him about his opportunities, or lack thereof, to play in the NHL with the Wild.

If i was him i would be looking at teams like the SJS who have more open spots.

We absolutely have a 4th line center spot in the NHL open for the taking next year.

I think Gaudreau or Bankier are likelier 4C candidates than Nelson. The jump from College to the NHL is huge for most non Faber beings, as former Gopher Captains Ben Meyers and Sammy Walker found out.

I am still puzzled that BG traded Dewar, especially for a 4th. He was going to be a RFA , not UFA and will end the season with under 20 points, Surely he couldn't have been expensive to sign?

Yah but Dewer wasnt old and big and slow enough ….decent grit but no way to back it up.

Look, If you had one shot
Or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?

Ok but how would you describe your mother’s spaghetti?

Crazy twist. He’s had a bad game besides.

Delizioso. Is it bad if she adds a little brown sugar?

 

[Digitalbooya]

Whelp, internet is out and Spectrum can’t be here until tomorrow morning. I guess I get to be the dummy who watches the game on their phone.
