well this one’s been in the drafts for a while huh

Glad this never came to fruition

Don't do this to me bro. Man I was pissed when we didn't acquire him at the deadline.

I always wonder if the true story will come out to what happened. Wild fans were told by our beat writers that the Wild got their paper work in but Calgary didn’t in time.

I heard the Flames say the same thing but the other way with the flames being on time but Wild not.

I heard national media say that paper was sent in but the NHL office said they both Late by a minute.

I like to think some lowly peon in the Wild FO took one for the team and covertly sabotaged the paper work to prevent the trade.

God bless that righteous soul.

I absolutely love the idea of some vigilante in Minnesota saving the team like that.
I think a more likely story is ownership on one of the sides, maybe both, didn't like the trade. Similar to Stamkos to NYR.
