The Wild are dangerous. They're the number one team in the entire NHL right now and they're doing it with almost $15 million still tied up in dead cap space from the buyouts of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. Next season their buyouts drop significantly and the Wild will have an extra $13 million to add more free agents.
Agreed with Craig that Hogs and Miller should be traded
Other teams will ask for the sky now knowing Hronek I'd injured and desperate for a defenceman. 1st for sure and hoggy.
I agree with Craig, Bedard hasn't earned a spot on team Canada
Even last season Hoggy had issues with holding onto the puck too long, missing clear pass opportinities and taking unnecessary chances. He just needs to forecheck and win puck battles, not be a puck carrier.
All the damn media making all the damn noise must be infuriating for JT and Canucks management. Seems like they’re trying to will this trade into existence. Just leave the guy alone! Heart and soul of the team.
.. Bedard yet another super over hyped player. He'll find his stride eventually though. And Button's take on Hog is perfect.
