Nice signing - another young player with potential in the Wild organization - at the very least he'd be really good in the AHL

I had high hopes for him based on his World Junior career for the USA
27 points in 19 games, an all time record (for USA).

Roenick had 25 points in 5 fewer games,
JVR was 3rd on the list with 22 points in 19 games.



for reference, canada's top 3 are
Lindros: 31 pts in 21 games
Eberle: 26 points in 12 games <---- !!!!
Schenn: 26 points in 13 games

I pretty much agree with this assessment:

Wild get a 'B' grade for Free Agency deals so far.

Hello HC hows your fave NHL exec doing in the big C

No offense to the canuckleheads but after reading page after page of Leafs fans comments on the TSN threads the last couple weeks that doesn't necessarily make it a good thing

Read the Players the Flames signed out of free agency , take a wild running guess which one we feel was Burkes deal. LOL , what a turd

I think Eberle's last year at the Juniors was the last time I actually cared about the Juniors.

Ribeiro to the Preds. 1-year, $1.05 million

 

[mooger_35]

Pretty cheap deal for a very cheap player.

The World Juniors is a huge deal in our Household. It's a part of the flavor of the Christmas and new years season for us.

Oh I still watch, I just don't give a rats ass what happens. Hopefully someone sneaks me some tickets this winter, had a lot of fun when I went to the one in Buffalo.

Tim Erixon has re-signed with Columbus (1 year, 600k). Jay Feaster did pretty good when you consider he got Markus Granlund, Tyler Wotherspoon and Roman Horak who was used to acquire Ladislav Smid for little Timmy.

2 way deal. Which is great. I hope enjoys the buses in the AHL.

I went to the last tournament in Malmo with my father and brother-in-law.
so yeah, the WJHC is a pretty big deal in out household as well

Jason Zucker signs new two year contract with the Wild:

The 1st year is a two-way: The 2nd is a one-way.

I hope that they got him on the cheap, because he's been a bit of an underperformer in my book.
