If the Wild make the playoffs, it doesn't matter who they play in round 1, get the dust pans ready. 

At least boldy won't miss too much of his precious golfing.

I'm more in the column of get everyone healthy and roll the dice. With Buium now going to the Frozen 4, and him probably getting in 2 regular season games, I'm rethinking my commitment to playing him in the playoffs. What wouldn't burn an ELC year? Does he have 9 potential games?

Yurov's team is up 2-0 today and looks like they may live to see another day. Contract Termination watch is pending. I suspect that we are looking at a maximum of 4 regular season games if they can get him signed immediately. Is that worth burning a year?

I'm still thinking that 90 is the magic number for the Wild to get into the playoffs. This is especially true after Vancouver's goose egg last night. It may very well be that some other teams are running out of gas too. Perhaps we can head over to the corner and start filling the team up with some gas?

I think players like Rossi could use that game or two off if they get one. Despite scoring, he gave up some rough plays and is on fumes right now.

Rossi is developing the habit of coming through in the clutch. More trend than mirage for me...

Rossi doesn't play Defensive he cost the team 2 against last night. He doesn't have the mean streak like a Theo Flurey, Martin St Louis, or a Marchand. He definitely plays to his size and he isn't all that fast. He's growing his game but damn he hasn't done much lately.

Ya, he's got things to work on. He'll never be those types of guys but he has more grit than Boldy. Did you see the guy throwing haymakers to Boldy's head/helmet last night? Boldy retaliated by  by putting his gloves on the guys helmet and pushing. I think Rossi would have thrown down with the guy.

Unfortunately, that being said I don't think Rossi will be here next year from what I've been hearing. Where there's smoke there's usually fire. BG better get some immediate value for him and an unprotected 1'st rounder. If he's traded my biggest worry would be not getting value back. I still don't trust in BG.

I thought this was an interesting watch. Some tidbits in there for sure. 

Thinking we'll end up with Buium after frozen four is over.

Boldy is getting better in the FU department. He as really picked up his efforts lately in my eye anyways. He's almost ready to climb up to another level. Hope he plays with Kaprizov when Kap returns.
