I'm not ready to crown 'em, but I agree making the playoffs should be an expectation now. Some years where we don't, but we should be in the hunt every year. 2000 season ticket sales already?

I like the fact that our lines are starting to look logical now. You have 3rd line guys playing on the 3rd line. Your second line is filled with skill guys. And our first line will have 3 really good players on it that can work together to put the puck in the net. And we don't need our prospects playing in the bigs right away, they can spend most of their season in Houston and provide depth if injuries occur.

Suter will eat the clock on the blue line. Hopefully be feeding that puck up ice to guys who can score. It's all good. The money looks really high to me, but look at how much some of our concussed injury prone guys have made too.

How many times you gonna say that Bear! ... Believe it baby!

I am getting sick of typing it. grin

I agree with your assessement of our future too, we probably have a 7-8 year window to get it done before Parise and Suter are too old and their cap hits/production start to become an issue.

agreed! It was painful last year at times watching them lose the puck then chase it and give it away in the nuetral zone.

I saw a depth chart that has Powe on the 4th line but I hope not for long! Bulmer, Rau and Zucker can't be far off.

Anyone know if Eric Christiensen signed or what the wild plan to do with him? Mr. Shootout... What about Foster?

I heard Christiensen was KHL bound and Foster I believe is playing for Ottawa next year.

I was surprised Chistiensen couldn't get on with an NHL team. He wasn't much of a defensive forward, but he had some scoring knack and was very solid on the SO.

I'm sure Ottawa will be enjoying that 100mph shot Fozzy's got.

So all the guys that we traded for last year are gone? What was the point besides getting rid of a couple large contracts? Zidlichky is gone but they also traded Wellman for Christiensen when they didn't have a shot in hell at the playoffs.

I'm sure Chistiensen was basically a "tryout". If he showed he could be a goal scorer and still play defensively, they probably would have tried to keep him around. Either way, Wellman was gone, so at least they took a shot at something that had potential to be a scoring threat.

Thats right, it has never worked. And like donks the Wild doubled down on it.

Look what losers the twins turned into signing Joe tampoon Mauer for 184 million.

The wild will continue to suck just like the rest of our teams. They will be lucky to make the playoffs, but to us MN fans I guess just making the playoffs is like winning the cup. [/quote']

Not the first time we've given out crazy deals (Backstrom). In two years, if 3 of our top 6 prospects pan out, we will have a shot at a cup.

I would like these contracts more if they were 8 years at the same hit, but as Parise stated, being home was a part of his decision. If the contract wasn't to the end of his career, I'm guessing he would have gone elsewhere.

I think he broke his glass and is still bitter about it.

Go Wild, I see a bright future for us. Fletcher has a great plan in place and I think even he didn't think it would go this well. Solid team, depth, and a load of highly skilled prospects on the way up. We are a couple of solid D away from condenting. Those can be filled by prospects developing, trade or a FA signing in the future. I almost for got to mention dispite spending to the cap this season we have lots of cap flexability in the future.

Welcome home boys.

This is a cool deal, but wait, there's more. Wild went out, spent some money, and got 2 very good players. In the near future other big name players will be looking at coming to Minnesota. This deal is bigger than these 2 guys. The Wild just told the NHL they want a cup.

The next couple of years are going to be pretty darn exciting.

Bump.. real exciting.

An annual 7.5 million dollar salary cap hit per player is a steal my friends!

Realistically this puts us in the playoffs 7 or 8 of the next 10 years. I'll give us home ice in 5 of those seasons and we'll play for the conference title 2 or 3 times and the Cup once or twice!

And that is all a fan can really ask for for in today's NHL!

Go Wild!

LOL

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
