    Niko’s roster construction

    Interesting insight. Question: Would it be legal for the NCAA to reinstate the one year sit out transfer rule? In my opinion, this is what ruins it. College players have more freedom than professional players. Forcing an athlete to sit out an entire year if they want to transfer would obviously...

    Niko’s roster construction

    Don’t worry. It’s already happening. If they don’t kill the no-sit transfer, it’s over - the best days are behind.

    Is Niko coming to MN?

    Yeah, if that’s what it takes to win, no thanks. Shameful post.

    Great defensive effort. Great game-winner by Zucci. Boldy made a great play to corral a bad pass from Hartman, then threading the needle to feed Zucc.

    It’s not better to miss the playoffs. And it will get better when Kaprizov and Ek return. But it won’t be due to magic. It will be because they are our two most important players. I think Hines should put Boldy on a line with Johansson and see if they can’t click like when Johansson first...

    Matty was buzzing yesterday. Nice to see. Maybe the shootout game winner will build his confidence. Gus played great. Gotta stack up some more of these pinups and get the big boys back off the injured list.

    Boldy has not played as well as earlier in the season of late. He almost looks tired. Hopefully the line with Rossi and the new energy of Nyquist can light him up a little.

    Yeah, a little bit. Our offense was pretty good, once we got the damned puck out of our own end. But Seattle was dominant at our end of the ice in the 2nd half of the game. It looked like a power play half the time. Defensively, we were chasing all over the D-zone. Positives were Johansson...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT UCLA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I don’t think that charge was questionable at all. Absolutely the right call. Yep

    Exhibit A for love-hate on this stupid thing. Spot on. Please - no Wild injuries.

    2024-25 Wild Season

    If I were a GM, coach or fan, I wouldn't want my guys playing in this thing. Sorry. It's great for hockey. But it's wear-and-tear and risk of injury for what actually matters. Two thumbs down. (Fun to watch though......I thought it would be more tame. I did enjoy McDavid getting it back in...

    It won’t be Kaprizov holding himself back. It will be the team holding Kaprizov back.

    I think he is pretty skilled and could generate a lot of goals. I don't think his output was a fluke - maybe the high end, but not a fluke. I honestly just think he's kind of an HJ Pierzynski type guy - that is to say, a dick.

    He'll be out 6 weeks, I bet. No way they rush him back. Especially if we maintain our playoff positioning. If we start to tank, then they might push the timetable.

    The (bigger?) problem is that Hartman would have to approve the trade for 15 teams next year and 10 the following. It's not clear from the above if we could trade him this year, unrestricted.

    Stupid question here. We don't get any salary cap relief due to dipshit being suspended, do we? I assume that $487K is money in the Wild ownership pockets, isn't it?

    2024-25 Wild Season

    $487K in forfeited salary. Geez. We just extended him….. Ryan Hartman signed a 3 year, $12,000,000 contract with the Minnesota Wild, including $12,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $4,000,000. In 2024-25, Hartman will earn a base salary of $5,000,000, while carrying a cap hit...
