BigPieps: Nathan > few million others BigPieps: Once again, Nathan speaks the truth. GreatLakerMohawk: Bill Smith is a ******. GreatLakerMohawk: Why do you question Nathan? He knows what's up. F-cking listen already. GreatLakerMohawk: Nathan appears to be the only smart one here. Again.
It's okay, Nathan, plenty of time to get better. Like Russo said in his blog, maybe the boys will actually LEARN this time they can't go down by 3 goals every night in the National Hockey Leauge and expect to come back and win. Not practical.
Wanted: 1) better defense and 2) better goaltending.
#1 is going to be finding the balance between "aggressive" and "smart." #2 was sitting on the bench last night.

The Wild have acquired Chuck Kobasew from Boston for Craig Weller, a 2nd round pick and the rights to Alex Fallstrom.
I don't like this. I think Alexander Fallstrom will end up being a pretty **** good NHL player. But maybe thats just because I've already come to peace with the fact that this season is in the toilet.
Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.
Weller for Kobasew seems like a good enough upgrade. I don't like giving up picks or prospects on top of it, but Kobasew is certainly a good enough upgrade AND he has another year on his deal.
Although I'm a little confused as to how it is that we have the cap space for this. According to nhlnumbers.com, Kobasew is nearly $1.75 million more per year and we only have a little more than $1 million in cap space.

At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

Basically they've take Bouchards cap hit away temporarily in order to be able to afford Kobasew's. Russo also makes the good point about how Fallstrom is still at least 4-5 years away from making any kind of impact on the NHL. For a team thats pretty banged up and could use scoring help, a prospect that's 4+ years away from the NHL for a proven 20 goal scorer is a pretty good deal.

When I first read about the trade I was pretty mixed on it. But after reading Russo's explanation that seems to make sense. I'm not crazy about the trade, but I guess it's okay.

Dont fall into that trap, Gabby may go a year without an injury (not likely but lets go with it) but we all know next year he will be done in training camp.

Yeah, that is true. We're better off without him.
So...who are the top 2-3 prospects for next year's draft? It will be nice to have some quality young talent in the system!
