From the NHL Draft

Of course, the big news from the NHL Draft was that the Winnipeg Jets are officially the Winnipeg Jets once again I would make further comment on this wondrous occasion were my town not overrun with dirty Manitobans for the weekend. They are eating us out of the state supply of Twinkies. It’s abhorrent.

I’m not going to let the return of the Jets ruin my glee that the Wild actually made the biggest trade of the night The Wild actually moved the one tradable asset the team had (Brent Burns)! And they moved it to improve a weakness (people that can score goals!). They even went out and probably got a lot more than what Burns was worth, too, which is very nice.

I know a lot of readers will be able to make this distinction, but for those that are unable to, I will make it for them:

New Wild player: Setoguchi

Not a new Wild Player: Former MLB outfielder So Taguchi

Now that that’s taken care of… Let’s get to the season. Please.
