Hello Wilderness, how are you passing the time during this rather uneventful offseason? Personally, I found getting married and going on honeymoon was an excellent way to pass a few weeks. Of course, I did miss the exciting (although not terribly surprising) announcements of Nino Niederreiter’s and Mikael Granlund’s new contracts. I also missed Nate Prosser’s signing with the St. Louis Blues. That might not be permanent, it wasn’t last time, but I’ll bet it sticks this time as Prosser’s time with head coach Mike Yeo will probably help his perceived value. Other than that, it doesn’t seem like I have missed much. Afraid there isn’t much news today, but there are still a few nuggets to enjoy. Also enjoyable is this video from the football special teams of the University of Minnesota, posted here in lieu of the usual music (follow the tweet if the video doesn’t post, it’s worth it).

I wonder where he would fit on this list if he had a quality back up and hadn’t been played into the ground for the past few seasons...

Cap hell or not, several teams could find ways to make signing one of these guys work. Surprised it hasn’t happened yet.
