Well the NHL "Christmas in July" is here there will be all kind of free agent crazyness going on today. I don't see the Wild doing much today but it should be interesting to see who lands where. A lot of guys are re-signing with their current teams so far. Brad Richards is the biggest fish available.

Signings so far.

Christian Ehrhoff signs with the Sabres (10y/$40M)

Steve Montador signs with Blackhawks, 4 years/ $2.75M per

There has been a pile of signing today but here are the most interesting. Sad to see Bruno go but it looked like he was running out of gas last year, who know though, I could see him lighting it up again with all those skill players the Hawks have.

[COL/WSH] Varlamov traded to Avalanche for 1st and 2nd round picks

[FLA] Ed Jovanovski to Panthers (35+, 4 years, $4.125 per) ‎

[PHI] Jaromir Jagr signs with Flyers (1 year, $3.3M)

Columbus signs Wisniewski (6 yrs, $33 MM)

[CHI] Blackhawks sign Andrew Brunette (1 year, 2 million)

[FLA] Jose Theodore to Florida (2 years, $1.5M per)

I haven't seen the series yet but the wild just wrapped up their development camp, from the sounds of things a lot of our guys were impressive. The next couple of years could get pretty exciting around here.

I agree. I haven't been an NHL fan since the Jets left 'Peg and the North Stars moved. I'm more of a UND alumni fan (Blackhawks, Devils, Blues, etc) and also NHL teams with WCHA players. I've never really "liked" the Wild because it was mostly Euros. Now, I'm getting interested in the squad because of the WCHA possibilities/ties they have.

Slick move.

Anyone seen the Becoming Wild series on FSN? I caught one episode on Friday I think it was. It was a great look into the Aeros and Yeo's coaching style.

Cool show. It is available on the Wild's HSOforum as well. Next one is on 7/22 I think.

Well, there wasn't any down side for the Wild in this trade. Sure, we may see a miracle and JS finally develops into what he could have been. But I doubt it. We'll take the 3rd rounder for sure.

I was a little shocked to see a 3rd coming back, way to go CF! There is alwasy a chance Sheppard could turn into something decent, I just don't see him being the top end player we had all hoped for when he was picked 9th overall.

I agree, this was a good trade for both teams. Shep's confidence here was shot. He wasn't going anywhere here. I do hope a change of scenery will help him. I hope even more that we pull out a Franzen-type pick out of the third round in 2013 smile

Also, good to see CF getting something for him. I thought for sure we'd see him walk for nothing.

grin I do kind of feel like this is a dream. Plus we have all these good looking prospects coming up the ranks too.

Our D looks pretty weak on paper but I think they will hold up better than people expect.

I don't want to get my hopes too high this year, we still might not make the playoffs, lots of new players and a new coach but the future looks good for the first time in a while. Even if we suck this year it should at least be interesting to see all the new faces and hopfully some of the young guys making an impact. 2-3 years down the road I want to see some playoff hockey!

Stoner was great at the end of the year. Shultz I thought had a worse than normal year. Spurgeon is small but plays great and is very effective.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
