  1. Again, its a 10+ year contract NOT ONE OR TWO YEARS! If Pittsburg gets Parise, good luck finding a way to sign Malkin next year. If they get Parise, they will likely trade Martin this year. Minnesota has a much more talented farm system, which be the guys who will be on the team when they are in a position to make a run. Minnesota will get 6 million off the books next year with Backstrom alone. Cullen will be soon to follow with another 3.5 million. By the time the Wild make a major run, Hetley's 8 million might be off the books as well. I don't even think Parise is the right fit for the Wild, but when someone talks as if they know hockey so well only to comes across as a dolt, I feel the need to laugh. Congrats if your Pens get Parise, I would rather have Malkin.
  2. Most people ripping Mauer are devoted to a certain 3-6:30 radio show...
  3. Let's talk when Crosby is out, Malkin walks next year, when they have no defense, with Fluery the overrate goalie. You are right, you are a great hockey mind. If a guy looking for a 10-12 year contract is only looking at next year like you are, he better get an advisor.
  4. Play with two of the best in the NHL, one who is likely to miss half of the games, and the other who they will have trouble signing after next season. One could argue the Wild are set up better than Pittsburg. I'd be more concerned about Detroit. They are old, but they have a superior front office who keeps them near the top. The Wild signed Kassian to a two year contract for 1.15mil, so I'm not sure why you expect another enforcer signed. Garrison sign with Vancouver for 6 years 27 mil. All that said, I'm not going to be crushed if Parise goes elsewhere. A Crosbylike contract might tie us down ala Mauer. Parise isn't real speedy and is not a sniper nor a defensemen. Those are the three area's we need most. Parise on the team certainly makes them better, but I'm not sure he's the guy you spend all the money on.
  5. Thanks for the insight AJ. GO Gophers!
  6. Hopefully thats the last we see of Manship. I just think he's a AAAA player.
  7. All the new players who replaced the guys not getting the job done.
  8. Completely agree. Souhan is an embarrasement.
  9. More moves that make no sense to me. Pavano should have been on the DL two starts ago. Backburn should stay in AAA for a couple more starts. In the meantime, Swarzak or Manship could have started a few games. In a lost season, neither decision they made makes any sense.
  10. Thanks for the article, and especially the pictures! Very cool.
  11. You must really hate Doogie Wolfson then.
  12. Seriously, what does Slama have to do to get a legit chance? I think Guerra could use more time, and Manship seems like a Swarzak spot start or long reliever to me.
  13. So I emailed KFAN today about Cuellar replacing Anderson and Dark Star went off on me.
  14. Sorry, I know who it was, I just couldn't help myself and had to be a Richard.
  15. I could be wrong, but I think he just forgot the name or didn't know how to spell it. If someone said "the white guy" I wouldn't take offense.
  16. 3 perfect innings.
  17. I don't know exactly why, but I just don't think Appel is going to be anything more than average. Zunino, Zimmer, or the young SS should be the pick imo. I think they have the most potential of the players mentioned. Giolito scares the heck out of me with the arms problems the team already has, and the crack medical staff we seem to have.
  18. Tonights Lineup 1. Span 2. Dozier 3. Morneau 4. Willingham 5. Plouffe 6. Casilla 7. Butera 8. Carroll 9. Diamond Saturday 1. Span 2. Dozier 3. Mauer 4. Willingham 5. Morneau 6. Plouffe 7. Casilla 8. Carroll 9. Pavano Sunday 1. Span 2. Dozier 3. Mauer 4. Willingham 5. Morneau 6. Plouffe 7. Carroll 8. Marquis 9. Revere
  19. I tend to agree with the previous posts and say Anderson, but there's no way that happens. They'd get rid of Vavra first, Anderson is Gardy's guy.
  20. Let me be the third to say I really enjoy these. Thanks Seth!
  21. Management hates Slama far more than Revere. He gets too many strikeouts for their liking.
  22. Another head scratcher, I have zero confidence in the way they are handling the minor league and big league rosters.
