Wild sign Flower to 1-year extension

  1. Wow. So does this mean Wallstedt stays in Iowa another season or does Gus get shipped out? Happy for flower though

  2. Still can’t get over the fact that one of the greatest goalies ever wants to stay here. I hope we treat him right

  3. I disagree that Gus gets moved because of this. The Wild are returning near the same team next year. The mindset is playoffs.

  4. This is 1/2 of what I was hoping for. Trading Gus is the other half. This would be what is needed to tank next year.

  5. I love Fleury for so many reasons, but his clear love and loyalty for this team is like number two (his appreciation for the goal posts is number one, obviously).

  6. Disappointed, but not surprised. I don’t really understand what this accomplishes for the team.

  7. Feels like this is an indication that they are potentially trading Gus.Β 

    I’m not really a big fan of relying on a 40 year old to carry the load with a rookie, but given some of the hints about how they unhappy with Gus in his conditioning and practice habits, this feels more like an indictment on him than anything.Β 

  8. Pretty disappointed in this. Fluery wasn’t great this year and money is tight. The only way this really works out is if Gustafson is traded or gets hurt. Which might be the plan. Let Wallstedt get 30 games in Iowa and hope Gustafson rebuilds his value. Then call up Wallstedt and trade Gustafson for a fortune. I might actually like this now…πŸ˜‚

  9. Is this a vote of confidence from him that we can make the playoffs? Does he just like living in Minnesota? It makes a lot of sense for us and I’m happy to have him, but I don’t get his motives.
