Looking Ahead

As we continue our way through the hockey abyss, here's a list of Wild players who will be unrestricted free agents next summer:


  • Pavol Demitra -- will make $4.5m this season. Worth re-signing? Yes, but let's see what kind of season he has this year. I'd re-up for a similar price, but not for anything more than 2 additional years.

  • Brian Rolston -- making a measley $2.4m this season, I have a hunch it will take at least double that to re-sign him. If he's looking for $5.0m per I think I may have to let him go and use the money on younger players.

  • Keith Carney -- will make $2.1m this season. Older, but would probably re-sign for same amount. Nothing more than a 1 year deal, though.

One major restricted free agent after this season: Brent Burns. He's going to want a significant increase from his $850k. A must sign for the Wild, unless Kevin Lowe signs him to an insane deal.

BS! Anything less than an 8-year offer is an insulT!

Hail Pavol!
