Extension could go either way. We'll see. I'm guessing Guerin is going to try to get the pending UFAs figured out so he can plan on trying to trade the guys who he can't afford to keep or that want to go elsewhere.

Yeah I think you're probably right - that's my hunch as well.

Very curious to see what those numbers come in at.

Ick!! Especially with a no trade clause!

MyWAYYYY to early guesses:
- Addison is gone after this year.
- Dewar either re-signs for cheap or is replaced.
- Duhaime pull a Strum and won't resign so is traded.
- Yurov makes the team out of camp. Marat K and Ohgren are in the AHL or overseas to start next year.
- Another locker room/grit guy is acquired via trade.
- Milne makes the team as a 4th liner.

Early guesses sure, but I don't feel like you're off base with anything there.

Solid argument for all of those. Milne is the only one I'm just not sure on. And I don't necessarily disagree, I just don't know enough to have an opinion. Only caught a handful of Iowa games, so I'll plead ignorance.

What do you think about my contracts for Hartman and Moose here? Think it's close-ish on both in terms of realism?

Umm $4mx4 is the real for Foligno, yours made more sense.

Just saw that - wtf is that?

GMBG being himself. He likes giving the old guys too much money, term, and NTCs.

No kidding, but good grief that's bad

Guerin is officially a moron in my book now!

now? You mean he wasn't before?

I will admit I had some faith in him…but not anymore! He absolutely screwed up both of his latest deals! It does, however, show just how stupid most Wild fans are because the majority are clapping for him.

I was out after the Spurgeon signing with GMBG.

Interesting. Some questions:

1. Where will Minnesota finish in the ranking?

2. What will most likely be the PP?

3. Who is likely to have a breakout year or who will surprise in terms of point production? Who is advantaged by the line combinations?

4. Who is likely to have a bad year in point production?

5. How many games each goalie is likely to play?

I used to joke the Spurgeon contract was strike two…strike one was being stupid enough to take the job in the first place!

I remember. =)
