GOOD MOVE FOR A MINOR LEAGUER

Draft picks won't bother rating, they made the NHL so of course its good. All in all the Redden is obviously horrific and people can complain about Rupp getting too much money but the other moves are SOLID by Sather

Nash was drafted by the Wild?

Nash was drafted by the Wild?

In another Universe perhaps

Thanks

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Confusing Gaborik with Nash... Could be worse

At first I had to think if the Wild drafted him and traded him to the BJs.
