But don't let me spoil all your fun- you will hear all about it soon enough. My quick take on that: I probably think that the Wild will keep him to burn off a year of ELC, but I also think he'll be sent to the AHL the second the WHL's season ends, and I'm not sure that he plays more than 41 games.
As for other things...
On to the Wild.
