Those Fucking Guys
Here's a good one for ya...

Jesper Wallstedt just beat the high flying Stars in round 1 & is 4-2 in the post season with a 2.05 GAA & a .924 save %.

How did the Wild obtain him?

2021 draft day trade.

To the Wild......Wallstedt

To their trading partner....

22 o/a pick .... Xavier Bourgault (currently in Sens farm system)

90 o/a pick .... Luca Munzenberger (currently plays in Germany)

.....and yes, that would be the Edmonton Oilers who made that deal.

That's not quite fair. To the Wild went the 20 O.A. pick, which they used to select Wallstedt.

So it's not like Wallstedt was established as an AHL star on the rise or something like that at the time of the trade.

Sigh...yes...sorry....journalistic license chosen to keep it concise.

Point being the Oil could have had Wallstedt instead of Bourgault (a centre...with McDavid and RNH in house already).....perhaps trying to draft and develop a goalie would have served them better
in conclusion....

And boy we're they wrong.

Your point was well taken, btw, they needed as many bullets in the chamber as possible when comes to goaltending.

Nucks mgmt & ownership luv to hire the ladies in important roles, why not be the first to hire a female NHL Head Coach? She can "motivate" players like no other dood Head Coach can. What happens in the locker room, stays int he locker room. And hey, EP40 luvs his blondes, she would be the seceret recipe to get him back to his A game. :lol:

The doods here would luv her. More doods will go the games. They can introduce her in a press conference wearing a Nuck's jersey over some sexy underwear just for Donny. :oops:

Will ahe jump up and down after every goal?
It'd be hard to watch the games with the TV covered in goo.
