As a Wild fan, I like the Jake Dowell signing.

Jay Onrait ‏@JayOnrait
With both Ryan Suter and Zach Parise joining the @mnwild, I think we can all agree it is time they changed their name back to "North Stars".

i dont think ANYONE will outbid Detroit next year on Weber. unless someone trades for him now and gives up the farm and then signs him to a $110M deal I dont see it happening

@DamoSpin: So for almost $200 million you get neither a 40-goal scorer or a power play quarterback on the blueline. Interesting economics.

And if Toronto gets both, he's praising Burkie to the heavens - Such a douchebag is Damien Cox.

No argument there

@DarrenDreger Heatley spoke with Suter and swapped texts with Parise. Both asked: can we win. Answer: yes.

@JayOnrait But how would Heatley know?

Bring it, bitch

what a cox

Damien Cox ‏@DamoSpin
Cap hit for each $7.568 million. Neither Parise nor Suter made first or second NHL all-star team.

 

[mooger_35]

Cox won't let up...

Damien Cox ‏@DamoSpin
Phoenix Coyotes are worth about 75 per cent the value of the Parise/Suter contracts. Again, interesting economics.

Damien's tears are so delicious...

Poile says Predators never got a chance to make a counter-offer. Clearly irked.

David Poile has started his conference call with the media. Devastation in his voice is palpaple

thank god the canucks dont need to outbid ANYONE

 

[jstewismybastardson]

at the very least, the signings do put the Wild on the verge of playoff contention

8th place means minimum 2 home playoff dates = 4 million

not to mention what this does for wild ticket and merchandise sales

fuck its only Suter. cmon.... now if this is the landslide where Weber says yeah Im NEVER resigning because of this then I can understand the sad but not for Suter alone

Boston currently has the highest payroll in the NHL, but the next 3 are all in the Northwest: Minnesota, Calgary, and Vancouver.

Wild now have 5 players with cap hits of 6 million or more. Parise, Suter, Heatley, Koivu, and Backstrap.
