By Barry Campbell -
Well the hardware gods rained down their majestic prizes, and two of them landed in the possession of people affiliated with your Minnesota Wild. Devan Dubnyk missed out on the Vezina to the surprise of no one, but he did shock the world and capture the Masterton for perseverance and sportsmanship for his amazing bounce back campaign with the Wild. The other award went to little Jordyn Leopold, who's letter to the brass brought her daddy home to Minnesota, and the attention of all social media to her. She also had a special moment presenting at the awards. She has also launched a new campaign for GMCF to re-sign her dad, which is a very distinct possibility.
Now that the prizes have been handed out, we turn the page and our focus to the 2015-16 season with the upcoming onslaught of transactions at the draft. The draft may actually be more exciting than free agency this year, with cap strapped teams needing to move big names and contracts to stay compliant. So buckle up, keep your eyes on Hockey Wilderness for all the details and be prepared for your emotions to run for their lives, care of Robert Randolph below. Let's Walk.
