Treasuring every blessed minute I have left before the Jake Middleton extension drops.

Trenin is a classic "Like the player, yikes on that contract" guy that we're so familiar with in Minnesota.

Awful.

Do me a favor and quickly tell me which of these guys is Jon Merrill and which is Jake Middleton.

For the next three seasons: Middleton: $4.35 million Hartman: $4 million Foligno: $4 million Trenin: $3.5 million Gaudreau: $2.1 million Total: $17.95 million #mnwild and Bill Guerin just traded one Salary Cap Hell for another.

The #mnwild have $45.44 million tied up in just 9 players (and two buyouts) for the 2026-27 season. Kirill Kaprizov is not one of those nine. Brock Faber is not one of those nine.

NHL Free Agency! Stars are on the move! Learn if players charged for sexual assault can have their rights retained by the team! Guys are earning big money! Executives who covered up sexual abuse and whose negligence let a minor be sexually abused, are back in the league! Trades!

I am proud that because of my work the S&S intern almost got to say “fuck” today

This could be the Wild and Rossi but it would really cut into the fourth-line budget.

Fellas, is it good to extend a guy and see him get called out for his conditioning before the deal actually kicks in?

Sir, Capfriendly has fallen

Bourgault was the player Edmonton got after trading down to let Minnesota pick Jesper Wallstedt, thx for that.

More and more people are saying it: Matt Boldy is the best player on the Wild.

Can’t wait for all the hockey journalists who promised they would do better in the wake of the Kyle Beach incident ask Stan Bowman and the Oilers org a combined 0(ZERO) tough questions and within a week stop talking about Bowman’s past altogether

Not sure we need to hear this from a guy with a "Legal problems" section on his Wikipedia page.

You know who'd be cheaper to extend that Brock Faber? Marco Rossi. Get that done.
