At this year's draft, the Minnesota Wild will be looking to add a goal-scoring forward, preferably a winger. With the exception of Marian Gaborik, the Wild have never even came close to drafting and developing a goal-scoring forward, the closest would be Benoit Pouliot and Patrick O'Sullivan who are no longer part of the Wild
Pittsburgh played the Buffalo Sabres in the first Winter Classic game in the U.S. in 2008. That was followed by the Detroit Red Wings playing the Chicago Blackhawks in 2009. This was followed by the Philadelphia Flyers playing the Boston Bruins at Fenway Park in 2010. Bettman just made the announcement regarding the 2011 Winter Classic. We all knew this was coming. Last year the Capitals and Penguins battled in the Eastern Conference semis, with Pittsburgh beating Washington in 7 games and
Steve Yzerman Offered the Wild GM Position? ... Yzerman quietly interviewed last summer for the Minnesota Wild's opening - which went to Chuck Fletcher - but decided against it. Things changed this year because there are no longer any Olympic responsibilities, while Ken Holland and Jim Nill are going to sign long-term extensions. Can't help but wonder if being in the Eastern Conference, where he won't face the Red Wings as much, is also a factor ... It is difficult for me to believe that this

Today I was cleaning my room and closet and found some of my Wild memorabilia that I hadn't seen in a while ... It got me thinking about what my favorite piece of hockey memorabilia is ... I never played hockey when I was younger, much less learned to ice skate. (I know, I know, how can I live in Minnesota and not learn how to ice skate? To be honest I couldn't tell ya.) So I wouldn't have any collectables ... Most of my memorabilia is of the Wild (thanks to my dad for working at the X, getting
... This is my first fanpost/fanshot on HW so take it easy on me ;) ... According to ESPN insider rumor central (I don't have the subscription so I can't read the whole article), the Wild may sign Dan Hamhuis as an unrestricted free agent. That's pretty interesting since we don't have any spots open on defense and have a bunch of d-men prospects in Houston.
