The Wild are hamstrung with the Vanek and Pominville contracts. They need to make the roster younger.

The Wild are starting to remind me of the Gardenhire Era Twins from the mid-2000's. But with a payroll.

I'd be disappointed if he's on the roster next year.

Need less Fratellis and more Satriani.

GOT ONE!!!! Haha, it's Canadian major juniors, there are a few teams based in the U.S.

Drop men's hockey, secure a WHL franchise as REA's primary tenant, name them the Fighting Sioux, and switch to the NAIA for everything else. Problem solved. Or here's one from some moron on the name suggestion site: "Keep Fighting Sioux and play without a division like Notre Dame does..."...ugh, morons...

If you consider his time on ice it actually turns out to be about $17.00 an hour...

Awesome. Minot should be #3 in ND soon.

Nuke this troll...

This has become somewhat urban legend around here. The Oklahoma tribe gave the okay. No bashing forthcoming.

We've been through this a thousand times...the Seminole tribe signed off. While I vehemently disagree with the NCAA's policy, it's quite defensible. I'm not an attorney, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

FYP.

If this were to play out, the athletic department will never receive another cent from me. Let's get the rights and slap an old logo on the hockey sweaters. Maybe drop down to D-III for everything else and just be "North Dakota" for sports not played on ice. What a joke.

Please tell me you guys are kidding.

Is the thought that this will be done and implemented by the new academic year? The new fiscal year (7/1)??

I agree with you here. At the minimum, Nokota passes a uniqueness test.

North Stars is one of the state nicknames of a bordering state. The fact that this option continues to get play here is preposterous to me.

Leo Tolstoy called inquiring about this interesting new technology.

Hitchcock going with his "gut" on that one.

I thought Yeo would pull him after the Statsny goal made it 4-1, which took the air completely out of the building.

Gerrell's?

The Wild have been so good on the road the last three months, minimal concern here.

Yeah, nice job derailing the thread with that Eichel blog, Goon.

On a related note, I heard if he leaves for the draft that he'll go head to head with McDavid next season. If he goes back to Boston U, then we'll have to wait.
