Capgeek.com will destroy your social life. Some people try to be "realistic" (hi there, Vanek and Miller). While some other people opt for creativity (as in, why not sign Bickell, Oshie, and Evander Kane). One person (ok it was me) dreamed up a scenario where the Wild get Evander Kane, Phil Kessel, Andrew Ladd, Duncan Keith, and Teemu Selanne. Our esteemed Managing Editor Mr. Tony even made a contribution (yes that is Jesus H. Christ on the left wing).
Suffice to say: it's a good time. Check it out for some #hot #sprots #takes
