Olofsson/Stewart #mnwild scratches. Remember, waivers technically keeps Stewart on roster til 11 am tomorrow. If he clears, Wild can initially keep him on roster, trade him, reassign to Iowa

Some real heartfelt comments from teammates. Stewart as popular a guy as I’ve covered

Yes.

Let's start with Kane for Meier.

Yeah, I have no idea about the players the Leafs gave up. I hope they lose something of value.

I know I said it before in the last blog...but if Nash gets that...the "NHL Player, Prospect, 1st, & conditional pick" that we were hearing about a while back should be possible. In fact, it could exceed that.

Silly season?

I think a kane trade will involve Buffalo retaining salary, a hefty contract coming back (NHL player,) a prospect and a pick....what the pick and prospect would end up being are the most important parts of the deal
