The Wild signed Nolan Schaefer in the offseason, and he should be their AHL starter. He has immense talent, but struggles with consistency. If he was able to fix the consistency problem, he would be able to start in the NHL, but unfortunately for him, it's a fairly big issue. There's no doubt he has talent, and he will try to prove himself playing for Houston. Miroslav Kopriva should battle Schaefer for playing time in Houston. He spent time last season between Houston and Texas of the ECHL, but most of the time (19 games) with Texas. He is only 23, but hasn't shown anything special since becoming pro. He'll certainly get a chance with Houston, but Schaefer should get the bulk of the load. Backstrom will be manning the net in Minnesota for the foreseeable future, with Harding as a possible future starter. Schaefer and Kopriva will battle it out for the third-string job.

Sorry 'bout the pun :D
Great work here on the entire Blog, 'Everything Hockey'... the set up is wionderful with all the professional touches, and your goalie features is tremendious.
My only complain is that I cannot place my vote on the question; it will never let me -- I do realize that it is no fault of yours tho -- one other bothersum bug is that it ask me if I want them to remember me on this computer... but never does.
Please keep up the great work on developing this site; it is top notch already and I flattered to be associated with it.
Hey FF, do you regularly clear your cookies?
NOPE
I don't have any control over the Remember me thing, you'd have to talk to the people at blogspot.com.
The vote thing is very faulty, as it's allowed me to vote numerous times (although I haven't), and you should take the results with a grain of salt
I'll say, there's more than 0 people who think Edmonton had the best offseason.
Dear Mr,
I'm an intern with startup widget 1000 and I created a news widget for Minnesota Wild News.
It's updated every hour with Minnesota Wild headlines from several different sports websites like ESPN, FOX Yahoo,etc. (Take a look: http://www.widget1000.com/)
Can we add Minnesota Wild blog to the widget,too? That means that every time you post to your blog the headline of the post will show up on the widget and link directly to your post.
Anyone who puts this widget on their start page or on their website will see your Minnesota Wild posts too. It's a powerful and free way to publicize your site.
Finally, would you add your Minnesota Wild News Widget to your site so that others can see it?
Everyone who grabs the widget will automatically link to you so it's great for your search engine rankings. Plus, it shows a lot of stories about Minnesota Wild and since it's updated every hour it is fresh and will make your site even more appealing than it already is.
What do you think?
Go Minnesota Wild
Anthony Bremond
