    That's Wild

    • It sure seems like the Minnesota Wild were hoping to sign Brock Nelson in free agency and have him solve all of their perceived problems for them. And now that the veteran center re-signed with the Colorado Avalanche, the Wild have not been able to pivot. There are no true top-six centers available that are options for Minnesota, so the core of the Wild's roster might look the same. And all of this might lead them to re-signing Marco Rossi despite his name being at the top of every trade rumor recently. [The Athletic]
    • Are Wild general manager Bill Guerin and his director of amateur scouting, Judd Brackett, on the same page right now? [Hockey Wilderness]
    • The Wild don't have a first-round pick but they can draft a prospect with potential in the second round. [Hockey Wilderness]

    Off the trail...

    • The Florida Panthers are just one win away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions. A look into how they did it and grading out the Game 5 performance. [ESPN]
    • It sure looks like Mitch Marner is done with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He is not even engaging in contract talks before he hits free agency next month. [Sportsnet]
    • Is Brad Marchand on his way to winning a Conn Smythe? After a couple of very solid goals in Game 5, he might be. [NHL.com]

    See, the thing with SillyG is that when it makes a ton of sense to trade a player, and the fans are all expecting it (Dumba) he holds the dude and mumbles something about 'sometimes the best trade is no trade' or 'picks arent worth as much as people give credit for'

    Then, other times, he puts guys in the absolute dog house, and takes the first trade that comes along (Fiala).  Mumbles something about how 'sure i could have gotten more, but this guy is dogshit and I dont want other GM's to not be my buddy anymore, anybody want to pick up my tab at Tooties?!?!'

    Maybe our scouting staff had Faber pegged as a sure thing, but I feel its more likely that a blind squirrel found his rare nut.

    I think Rossi is going to be traded, and I think the return is going to be absolutely underwhelming.

    Unfortunately for Wild fans, MrC wins the internet today.  Great summary of thin skin's bill GM'ing abilities.
