By Christopher Boyd -
Wilderness, everyone take a deep breath. As Joe said yesterday, it would be silly for Kuemper to go to Russia OR for the Wild to give him up over a contract negotiation. There's a good bit of news today, and more importantly, it's getting close enough to hockey season that I'm getting to plan meetings around when the team plays.... which is exciting.
In honor of today's "Contract Dispute" theme, I've provided fitting music: "Point Counterpoint." Enjoy!
