This move makes a lot of sense to me. It would appear that the Minnesota Wild are interested in signing former SCSU star and UFA Matt Cullen, according to an article in today's Red Star and Sickle ... Maybe three times will be a charm for the Wild and Matt Cullen ... For the third time in Cullen's career, he will become a free agent when the clock strikes 11 Thursday morning. For the third time in Cullen's career, the Wild -- in need of a center -- is expected to pursue him ... The Wild couldn't
Originally cross posted at Goon's World. NHL Fanhouse blogger Bruce Ciskie has an interesting blog post about former Gopher Paul Martin and his free agency status. You would have to wonder if the Minnesota Wild wouldn’t entertain signing him to appease the State of Hockey. What do you think? Would he fit into the Wild’s plans? The Minnesota Wild need two t op-nine forwards and have $11.5 million in free cap space to spend. The Minnesota Wild have 19 players signed so far. ...

He has had three seasons to prove him self and has done nothing but take up a roster spot on a team starving for offense. For the love of Zeus’s butt please get rid of this waste of space. I have seen nothing in Sheppard’s flimsy game that leads me to believe that he will even be a

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. The only way I see the Wild signing Hamhuis (barring a trade), is if Hnidy is not resigned and Nate Prosser ends up starting the season
