Hello there, Wilderness!
You've all made it through another Monday, and we are now closer to the halfway point of the week (aka Hump Day). All of you may be wondering why today's Walk is being put up by me today and not Aaron. Well, due to some unfortunate computer issues, he had to reach out to one of us to cover for him, and it was between me and Tony. I managed to come out victorious in that battle, so you're all getting the pleasure of getting the Walk from me both today and Saturday. What a treat!
Before this intro comes to a close, I have to talk about the Defending the Blue Line Charity game, which is coming up this Saturday. Agnes will also have an article about this later today.
That's all for this long, ranty intro. Enjoy perusing today's links, Wilderness!

Wild to Use Top Goalie Prospect Johan Gustafsson as Trade Bait? Don't Count on it. - Gone Puck Wild - This shouldn't come as a surprise to everyone. With having a fairly decent trio of goaltenders in Backstrom, Harding, and Kuemper, it's always nice to have another goalie at your disposal.
