Taylor Hall #1 to Edmonton. Barring a trade, it's off to Boston for Tyler Seguin in a few minutes.
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Former Gopher Keith Ballard reportedly headed to Vancouver from Florida.
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Hey, good to have you here Brad. I'm hoping for a Jeffrey Skinner as the Wild has been blessed with very few true scorers in its history. And he's also a center!!!
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Brad what are your thoughts on the Wild pick?
Brad Ratgen · 2 months ago
Skinner would be good if Fowler and Gormley are gone. Don't forget about Granlund from Finland. I would like to see either of those 2 or Burmistrov. Sorry about delay in response. Splitting time between you and twitter.
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
So much for Skinner thanks to Ron Francis and the 'Canes. Looks like the Wild will be picking a D-man in Fowler or Gormley.
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Both our guys are gone now.
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Sirens going off here, but I'm a gamer and will trudge forward.
Brad Ratgen · 2 months ago
How do you like that, it's like I picked it. Call it a "Tri-fecta"? Go back and read it and weep!
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
You certainly know your Finns!! Need some help popping that shoulder back in place? ;)
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Are ticket sales slow for the season-opening Finland trip? ;) Mikael Granlund to the Wild, the latest to come down the Finnish pipeline. If you're a mid-round team looking for a D you're going to get a good one.
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Boo-Yah!!!!!
Pete Waggoner · 2 months ago
Hey boys, just logging on now...like you said Brian, where are the dealz?
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Do Fowler & Gormley go Randy Moss on the NHL and make teams pay for passing on them?
Pete Waggoner · 2 months ago
Regarding the Fins, they have been very good to the Wild and 40 points the Finnish Elite League is big for them.
Pete Waggoner · 2 months ago
No, there is only one Randy Moss. Not here, I think the NHL requires too much character to make it through the season.
Pete Waggoner · 2 months ago
And, yes that was a shot at the NHL. I just went Auntie M out here in the West Metro...good to see you never missed a beat, and awesome work on the coverage for the News. Where is Christopher?
Pete Waggoner · 2 months ago
Forbort might go first. 15-20 we should see some movement on the Minny guys.
Pete Waggoner · 2 months ago
Well well well, it is Forbort 15 to LA as expected, up next is Bjugstad.
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
WOW!!! What a reach for Colorado! Time will tell I guess. Do the Preds go Minnesotan back-to-back years and take Zach Budish's new teammate Nick Bjugstad?
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Nope!
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Forbort and Bjugstad essentially are traded for each other as Panthers and Kings swapped the 15th and 19th picks earlier in the evening.
Pete Waggoner · 2 months ago
Good to see that the Tinordi name is alive and well as the Habs selected Jarred Tinordi, son of former North Star Mark Tinordi. Can remember the days when he was about 3 tears old and @#$% on wheels in Dallas.
Brian Halverson · 2 months ago
Islanders trade up to grab Brock Nelson of Warroad. Nelson becomes the record-breaking 11th American selected in the the first round of the draft.

Well, the Oilers have been on the clock for over 2 months. Who will hear his name first? Taylor or Tyler?
