By Tony Abbott -
The Wild are inching closer and closer to training camp. You're gonna get some notes on here. Something not too much discussed is the fact that there are a lot of interesting options on the free agent market. As Russo points out, the clock is ticking on the remaining free agents, and it will soon be getting to the time where guys may be tempted to trade some money and years for a job.
Chuck Fletcher, as you'll read later, has no plans to add anyone at this time (he says), but purely speculating, I'd be interested in seeing if the Wild make a play at Damien Brunner, if he can be had cheaply at this time. We know the Wild had interest in him a few years ago, and the year he came out. He had a good year last year, so why shouldn't Fletcher's interest remain at this time?
Anyway, read from the more informed. It's on to the Walk time.
