Wild have agreed to terms with college UFA defenseman Christian Folin (UMass-Lowell). Was most coveted college UFA on the market.

Wonder if the Canucks were ever in the running. Never heard if they were or not.

Couple tweets from Joe Meloni who covers Hockey East

They're different players. Folin has more of an offensive game. A well-rounded player, though. Amazing skater.

@dbekar81 He's a big kid. He's not going to run around hitting everyone. His brilliance is using his skating and puck skills to defend.

the supposed Miami Heat that still aren't anywhere close to the top 3 in the west

This. But if Granlund and Nino pan out as anticipated then the West is going to have a problem. Also not sure if Darcy Kuemper is the right fit going forward.

Two years ago the Wild were possibly the most boring team in the league. Now they have Moulson (maybe being replaced by Vanek this summer), Pominville, Coyle, Suter, Niederreiter, Cooke and Brodin. They're a blossoming side that I always like to watch. Shows you what a quick turnaround you can have if you have the cohones to make changes.

The Canucks were supposedly a front runner last year, so I'd assume they were in the running this year. Can't make everyone we want sign with us though.

ya I bet Gillis was away takin his sweet time tryin to evaluate how to evaluate. Like any business....if you want something bad enough, you find a way to get it

It's a bummer that we didn't end up landing him, but at the same time, the guy is unproven and most of us really don't know if he is good or not. I'll admit to being over hyped about signing a guy i've not even heard about before and never watched play.

Does the joke ever get old, or are you drinking so much CDC koolaid that you think it's true?
