Ha! Nice. The only thing he contributed to St. Louis was telling them that the Wild fist pumped when they found out they were playing the Avs in round 1 instead of the Blues.

 

[BusQuets]

Wait, I am confused is this good or bad?

Fletch probably claimed him just to give him a solo bag skate, then throw him back to waivers.

Wuuuuuuutwhat!?

Goodbye Bickel??

 

[Vashanesh]

This means that one of Folin or Dumba are likely to start the season in Iowa, or both if they suddenly think Ballard deserves frequent ice time.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad, either, but that's my take.

That would be hilarious! Still.. This news.. Blues fans..

Somehow I'm not surprised. Well, so much for him leaving Minnesota.

I hope its Fletch/Yeo coming to their senses and realizing Bickel has zero place being on an NHL Roster. Prosser has good size, and has always been willing to get punched in the face.

I disagree. Prosser was not brought back in to skate in the top 6. This means the end of Bickell though.

The Wild have never feared scratching Prosser for long periods of time. I don't expect that to change. I don't think this impacts Dumba/Folin at all, both deserve regular spots right now.

I think this is Right shot insurance in case either begins to struggle at some point.

I wonder if the Wild even try to sneak him through waivers in a day or two themselves.

Lets be honest, there was no way Bickel was going to make this team.

They'd run with Folin/Dumba and Ballard as a 7th before keeping Bickel up.

It's almost as if Fletcher's trolling.

I dunno. Yeo/Fletcher love their face punchers. His game was almost always praised, despite being objectively terrible. I was certainly getting worried.

Forget about Ballard? We already have a 7th defensemen if they want Folin AND Dumba up.

*Talks **** about Minnesota*

*Gets claimed by Minnesota*

Oh I would love to see them put him in the press box the entire year or just give him the **** treatment. Does Sheppard have any time between now and the season opener to teach Prosser the art of making good popcorn?

No I'm not forgetting about Ballard, he's the 7th D-man, Prosser the 8th. This team historically likes to carry 8, I was predicting the 8th to be Bickell, now Prosser.

Remember, just like Bickell, Prosser has shown he can play wing if needed too.

 

[BurnsyMN]

If he gets sent through waivers again, hopefully the Blues pick him up. I think I would laugh for an hour straight.

Was thinking the same thing myself.

I suppose I'm under the impression that they're going to sign and roll with Bryz, which means no 8th D.

I forget, what did he say again exactly?

 

[nickschultzfan]

WTF. I take this as meaning that only one of Dumba and Folin is staying. Ballard and Prosser aren't both going to be in the pressbox.

This is a statement of how disappointed the Wild have been with Blum and Falk this camp.

 

[Vashanesh]

All he said was that we were happy to get the Avs in the first round vs the Blues. I don't think it's a big deal, everyone knows we stack up better against the Avs.
