WILD HOCKEY!

Agree, it's hard to see it end up this way after such a magical start. But we should be sellers before the deadline. Sometimes you can really end up with a great deal if you do your homework.

I think before the season started, everyone saw an improved team in 2-3 years so we should continue building for that.

Cullen

Clutterbuck

Zidlicky

Harding

Zanon

Ortmeyer

Powe

Christiansen

Peters

Lets sell Cullen early next season when he goes on his annual tear. Keep clutterbuck and get what you can for the rest, a lot of those guys aren't worth anything, mostly just fill in AHL scrubs. I would have to think Zids, Harding, and maybe Zanon get moved some time soon.

Those are my top 3 as well. I hope you are right on Zids but I'm doubtful they can move him based on his salary for next year. DR..... the former GM that keeps on giving!

the wild have only played 59 games and the 4 teams right ahead of them have all played 60 or 61 and we are 5 pts out of the 8th spot. Every game matters from here on out. Personally, I just like watching Kassian, he's no Boogaard but pretty close and a better skater. Let's see if Krys Barch answers the bell tonight and Kassian gets the Wild going.

From NHL.com

The New Jersey Devils gave their blue line a boost on Friday by acquiring veteran defenseman Marek Zidlicky from the Minnesota Wild for three players and draft picks after Zidlicky waived his no-trade clause.

The Wild will receive defenseman Kurtis Foster, forwards Nick Palmieri and Stephane Veilleux, as well as a second-round pick in 2012 that the Devils previously acquired from Washington and a conditional third-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft. The Wild will get that pick if the Devils make the Eastern Conference Finals this spring and Zidlicky plays in 75 percent of New Jersey's games in the first two rounds.

Now just Zanon and Schultz to go and I'll be happy!!!!

Agreed. Schultz has been terrible this year. He spends way too much time in the box, and just isn't as good defensively as they hype him on fsn. Zanon i'm on the edge about. He makes some good physical plays at times and I love him, and then he makes those defensive gaffs and I hate him. Definitely wouldn't be hugely upset if he went.

Nice job CF, great trade IMO. 3 for 1 plus a pick. Not going to make them a playoff team this year but more decent players fighting for playing time will help in the near future. Hope he is not done making deals, trade Harding for a big forward who can muck it up in front of the net and chip in a few.

Finally we have a defenseman who can get shots through! Foster has a cannon of a shot, though he did make some mistakes defensively when he was here.

Currently it looks like the Wild will have $21M open going into next year. Maybe CF can get another big FA for the top lines next year!!!

Year after next Backs, Cullen and I think PMB are off. That's a ton of space, though we will have to think about signing a few of our rookies then too.

OK, just checked it on capgeek. We have almost 40M in space in two years. That's nuts! We could go after some legitimate top end FAs. Wow, it's been a while since we could say that!!!

BTW - Todd McLellan (SJ Coach, former Houston Aeros Coach) just collapsed behind the bench. Hopefully he's alright.

Good game last night. After we went down 2-0 I was pretty close to turning it off and chalking up another loss. I like seeing Foster back in a Wild uniform again. Hopefully he can use that heavy slapper more often. On the same note, Heatley needs to stop with the massive windup on his slap shot. He can't hit the net worth a dump lately.

How is Todd McLellan doing? I hope he's alright. They seemed to shy away from going into detail about anything regarding his collapse.

Wild just traded Nick Schultz for Tom Gilbert, didn't see that coming. I'm still trying to form on opinion on this move but we are getting better offensively and maybe giving up a little in the D zone. Interesting move for sure, Schultz has been here forever.

Schultz was drafted by the Wild and was the last remaining player from the inagral season i think.

Word is the goalie market is soft. It might be tough to find someone to take Harding for much.

As far as the Schultz/Gilbert trade, Oilers fans didn't seem to like him much. Schultz didn't look the same as years before either though. Jury is out in this one. Time will tell.

Zannon gone? I hope so.

Kind of seems like both teams were sour on Gilbert/Schultz. This trade seems to be a wash, but yes time will tell.

The only move so far I haven't liked by CF was the Leddy/Barker trade. Still seems to be making a lot better moves than the DR regime!!

The only thing I'm a little concerned about is that the Wild might be VERY young on D next year, I'm kind of assuming that Lundin, Foster and Zanon are not on the Wild next year but who knows, that's still a long ways off.

      Best weed eater I've ever run with great longevity is Echo, I'd check them out

      Hey government,  Just give us choices. I don’t care what people use as long as as it works for you. I’m needing a new weed eater. Plan on a Stihl FS 40 easy start. I’m done with the cheaper brands. Just don’t last long enough.  Probably true with the Stormy Daniels of the world as well. Cheaper don’t last long enough 🤭

      If you turn on a movie they survive the 20min ride just fine. After many controlled experiments, I've found that they survive much better if you show "Finding Nemo" instead of "Jaws."

      Quick update: Lucky 7 now has rainbows, fatheads, crappie and light pike in stock. If I remember correctly, scoop of rainbows was $8.99.  Stopped at L&M in Virginia. Rainbows $6.99, fatheads and crappie minnows (scoop) $3.99. I was billed $6.99 dozen for rainbows, but was given a healthy scoop!

      I have had the same old Strikemaster augers for years, take care of them and they will last a long time.   I think E-augers are nice for around home lakes or at the cabin. The thing that was a eye opener to me was being in D-Rock in New Brighton getting new blades and there were two guys that just got back from a week in Canada on a big ice fishing trip and both very pissed off at their e-augers dying! They were both buying new gas augers.

      On the south end...   Things are shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 11th.  Recent rain has brought up the water levels, which were low.  The walleyes and saugers are in very good shape across the south shore.  Expectations are high. The goto presentation this weekend will be a jig and frozen emerald shiner or other kind of minnow.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.     Hook the shiner through the mouth and out the gill.  Push the minnow all the way up to the jig head and hook the minnow as far back as possible.  This will give you a better hooking percentage.     Jig sizes and colors?  This is stained water so you can get away with a big heavier jig, which is nice for those who don't fish a lot.  It enables them to have more control and feel the bottom.  A quarter ounce jig is a good size for starters.     In stained water, gold, glow white, glow red, pink, orange and chartreuse, or a combo of those colors, are great places to start.   The limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there will be some good pike caught this weekend.  The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season is May 8 - 15.  The keep season starts up again July 1st. FYI, there will be some nice walleyes in the Rainy River for the fishing opener.  Lots of sturgeon anglers are reporting big walleyes being caught on sturgeon rigs! Up at the NW Angle...  Angle resorts are ready to roll for the opener.  As many of you know, this is the area of LOW where the islands begin.  Lots of structure.     Go to spots for walleyes, neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays which will have warmer water.  In true NW Angle form, be ready for a mixed bag of fish.  In addition to walleyes and saugers, pike, jumbo perch, crappies, and even a few smallies and muskies will be caught.   Again, the goto presentation will be a jig and minnow. Slow trolling a crankbait will also produce fish if need be.
