@FoxMulderii @NHL_Muse Two of the three Stanley cups he "won" he was stapled to the bench.

@BEisenhart We Millennials are responsible for our lifestyle choices as we approach middle age, but our Boomer parents instilled in us the appetites and habits that we have. We were raised on a lot of assumptions that simply don't hold.

@Minnyfilipino @RandyLahey1994 If I were Hughes I would be thinking Minnesota has a short window to win, as they have been mortgaging their future. 3 year makes more sense, especially then he and Jack can sign together elsewhere.

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@PuddleJump12 @RandyLahey1994 Favorites haven't won anything yet so they'll have to go.

@othockeytalk @RC17AK @NathanGraviteh Yzerman should be able to get a good return due to friendly contract and high demand for top 6 centers. However, Larkin has veto power with the No Move Clause.

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@1sportstake @RussoHockey He turns 30 next month. Average forward age in the NHL is 28.1. But otherwise he does seem like a great fit for the Wild.

@CodyC363 @TonyLiebert C almost feels like a different state.

@TylerGworek @eddyluxe_ @AmiriKing And this is why I chose Mexican. Along with the thought of losing authentic tacos.

@davin_val @banx82 @EmGeeJay_ @FightCentralFC Force = Mass X Acceleration
A large person usually wins a fight in a short time period because they have significantly more force. The longer it goes, the more in trouble they are, because their movement slows and they can't generate force. Happens all the time in fights.

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@Rentfreebiches @JoeSmithNHL Best theory I have heard is that he will sign a three year deal to match Jack's length. Then they likely hit the UFA market at the same time and sign together.

@icehockeyjunkie @minwildtroll I wasn't impressed by the center's play (need more netfront presence), but thought they overachieved at the faceoff dot.

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@ChrisLongKSTP If there's still divisions in a 1-8 format, Wild still end up #4 and likely face Colorado in the second round. Dallas likely faces Vegas in the second round. Colorado/Dallas finals.

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@tepicks @McInnispicks They had a serious shot this year if healthy. But health/depth is a factor for every playoff team. Minnesota's lack of quality centers and bottom defense pairings were exposed. This team is still very top heavy (except at center). Need Yurov and Stramel to make huge leaps next yr

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@ZekeBoyat Half of the Wild roster has a bright future. The other half is old and has NMCs. That darkens the outlook a bit for me.

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@TyroneSmollet @brutalfightz2 Don't know what happened before this clip is rolling, but first guy's face is bloody and he's yelling. If you don't prepare to get punched by that kind of man, that's on you. And if you throw that punch and don't expect retaliation, that's also on you. No sucker punches here.

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@TARSRel0aded Progress plateaus, but I think 225 in a month is doable. How many sets and reps are you doing?

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@weenreeno Valid. Would think his numbers improve as a backup with lower volume and at least a team or two at the deadline would see Gus as an upgrade.

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@weenreeno Agree. I'm okay with letting Gus go only if there's a fair return. And it really feels like no one is willing to let go of centers. I'm keeping my expectations low.

Also, hopefully Stramel can heal and pan out?

[Wade Berg @thewheatcolonel]

@WildSideSnipes Because he's old and needs rest more than practice?
