Russo and Friedman have both said that Jesper is available for a trade for a top 6 center (does anybody know why hockey writers insist on spelling center c.e.n.t.R.E?

I think it's a Canadian thing.


"The spelling of "centre" in hockey with an -re ending is used because it follows British English and Commonwealth (including Canadian) spelling conventions, which are derived from French."

I should have known the damn French had something to with it.

LOL, is Friedman based in Montreal? That may explain it.

I also missed a piece...Hartman in the deal.

It is fabricated by Skor North after the equivalent of Adam Schefter for Canadian hockey tweeted this:

32 Thoughts (Jan 26): Elliotte says he could see MIN putting Jesper Wallstedt out there to land the big forward, or C, they are looking for. Says his name has been out there before. "We're all sitting there saying what is he going to use, I think that might be the guy." #mnwild #NHL

Another guy they mentioned was Robert Thomas.

Yeah, I missed the 1st period but from what I saw we didn't really have our legs moving very well. Calgary pretty much controlled the puck most of the game but Gus was on top of his game so our early 2 goals held up.

Wins are always nice. Hughes getting a goal is refreshing. Winning by 4 despite getting outshot by 13 is pretty excellent.

Both are about 6'3/ 205 and skilled with room to grow. If the deal were for Pinto it would likely include someone like Ridly Greig and or a first round pick.

I haven’t heard of either. Would either cost Stramel? I am almost in keeping him at all costs mode.

Wallstedt would be the only piece moving from what I have read. Ottawa desperately needs a goalie. The Wild having a 1 and 1A goalie is a luxury without a first line center. Cozens would be ideal. 24 years old with size speed and skill. He had 62 pts last year and is pace to repeat that this year.

If it only takes Wallstedt....I would be in for either...I heard slight rumblings for Pinto but zero about Couzens. I would get greedy and try to get both somehow....lol

Hughes now has a 9 game assist streak which ties the NHL record for longest streak by a player with a new team. With 3 more last night, he became the 3rd fastest defenseman to 400. He did it 484 games, which trails only Bobby Orr (437) and Paul Coffee (464). That's damn good company.

It reminded me of the Doug Woog days right before he retired. Fast track hockey.
