Backs was great last year.
Rough start to this year, no doubt
more kuemps plz
I really wish we would have gotten Bernier. Backstrom is running on fumes at this point.
I say give a contract to the goalie prospect we have who cheated at Harvard. Start him, send all our top prospects back to Iowa, and promote all the Iowa scrubs to the Wild.
Tank like the Penguins/Hawks, and get a top pick.
Buy out Backstrom next summer, let Heatley walk away, and sign a top 4 D-man (Dan Girardi/Jonathon Erickson, Andre Mezaros, Matt Niskanen, Nikita Nikitin) , sign another goalie, and then let the kids kick butt on the 2nd & 3rd lines in 2014-2015.
TANK TANK TANK TANK!!!
The time for tanking is BEFORE you sign UFAs on the verge of 30 to big contracts, not after.
This is also a great way to lose Parise/Suter/Pominville/any other UFA, who in their right mind would go to a team that did something like that? Who would want to stay?
We're in a very different position than the Penguins and the Blackhawks.
What is it with Minnesota sports (well mostly Wild/Vikes) fans and thinking that Tanking is the answer?

Apparently my chant of TANK TANK TANK TANK didn't come thru properly without this "
DO you REALLY think anyone would suggest tanking only 3 games into a season?

Suter is so bad defensively, I want to cry. ONCE AGAIN he was on the ice when the Ducks scored the go ahead goal, and it was 100% his fault, as he was totally out of position and thus left Brodin all alone to stop a 2 on 1.
