By Bryan Reynolds -
This information, while it is increasingly likely to be true, means nothing until confirmed by or his agent. This could still be completely false. Teams in the KHL have announced they signed players in the past, only to have it not be true. The number of sites and sources reporting the info do not matter, as they are all drawing the information from one source: the Czech team.
I want to stress that I have no reason to believe the information false, but want everyone to remember that this is the season for false reports, rumor mongering, and flat out making stuff up. Be wary, and until you read the information from the player, his agent, or someone like Russo, be cautious about it's validity. Even if true, there is nothing preventing him from also signing a deal in the NHL. Remember, these two leagues have never cemented a transfer agreement.
This is not a blow to the team, and is likely not even a blip on the team's radar.
The small silver lining in all of this? The Wild get a 7th round pick from the Rangers in 2013 if Christensen is truly not coming back to the Wild.
Thoughts on this Wilderness? Pretty minor move in this one man's opinion.
