Good morning Wilderness, and welcome to another edition of the Wilderness Walk. Plenty of stuff to get to along the trail today, step lively folks!
As expected today's links are easily Olympic-centric as Puck Daddy breaks down the invitees from Canada and the US for you. Also in the mix, a nice article about the good side of salary arbitration, raising realignment complaints and can I get a lacrosse mock draft? Why yes, yes you can!
Lets get on the trail...
