By Velgey -
Wild fans, it’s been a long summer and it’s going to feel longer. However, we’re slowly approaching the point in the offseason when optimism and high hopes begin to be entertained. For instance, the recent signing of Matt Cullen seems likely to bring good things this coming season. I’d caution fans from getting too high on the team. After all, we haven’t seen how some of the new players will gel and the rest of the league spent the summer trying to get better too. That being said, there’s no reason to give into the classic “Minnesota sports” doom and gloom either. We should all take a cue from Janelle Monáe and not get too high or too low. Got to walk that tightrope.

Whether or not a player gives up his number is a sign about who sits where at the table. Mikko Koivu didn’t give up “9” for Zach Parise, but Chris Stewart is giving up “7” for Cullen.
