Ugh! That was not a fun game to watch. I actually stopped watching that game and instead watched the UMD-Quinnipiac game. That was a fun game to watch. Guess I still have 1 team to watch still right now, that I will cheer loudly for.

GO BULLDOGS!!!!

And since the golf seas...I mean off-season is about to start, here's a few musings and/or questions...

Since the Wild have already signed Robson from the Gophers, are they going to try and get Shepard from UMD as well? I know he has been at their development camps the last 2 years.

Will Victor Rask be bought out this off-season?

Will Nico Sturm play in these last 3 games? He just might be a good candidate for the 4th line C next year. That would probably be a decent cost savings if he can fill that role.

Do the Wild have a realistic chance at Jimmy Schuldt? Do they really need him? I think I can answer that one as a resounding yes. Even if he is a lefty Dman, the Wild need to restock the feeder system and Schuldt might be a decent 3rd pairing guy with some ability to play 2nd pairing for a little bit.

Are Jason Zucker and Jared Spurgeon playing their last 3 games with the Wild?

And the biggie...what moves does Fenton need to do this off-season to improve the Wild? By this, I am asking, if you were the GM, what moves would you try to make...i.e., specific players you target to get and trade away, coaching changes (if any) and position depth (and maybe lineup) you would like to see.

I forgot to add, thank you Dan for all the write ups this past season. I truly do hope you continue to do so. I know its really appreciated by all of us here that read them...and complain about the Wild here.
