Reports surfaced yesterday that the Minnesota Wild were offering a package that included Mikko Koivu, Nick Schultz and Tyler Cuma to Ottawa for Dany Heatley and a sack of potatoes. Anyone who has an ounce of sense, including my 9 year old son, knows this to be a made up rumor. Here is my exchange with said 9 year old:Me: Someone is saying the Wild may trade The Captain for Dany Heatley.Son: That's crazy. Heatley's a dork. Mikko rules!Me: That's my boy.Let's step out of realty for a moment and assume this report is true. Mikko, Schultz and Cuma for Heatley. I would immediately stop talking Wild hockey on this blog and turn it into a Giada DeLaurentis fan site, burn my Wild jerseys and consume large quantities of alcohol.But back to the point, it's not true. I wouldn't deal Koivu for Heatley straight up. Don't get me wrong, Heatley is a very good player. I would offer the Sens anyone on the roster save Mikko and Burns.

The latest Wild rumors as they allegedly are looking to add another forward

Via MVN  |  August 15, 2009
An old expression is the 'Dog days of August' where time seems to bog down as sweltering heat forces many to seek refuge to areas that have nice cool air conditioning. I know for myself, August means the start of football practice (High School) and many hours of coaching and working through offensive and defensive schemes. It is not the NFL, but still requires lots of study...

Alex Tanguay to the Minnesota Wild?

Via MVN  |  August 16, 2009
Alex Tanguay of the Montreal Canadiens is one of many rumored to be heading to the Minnesota Wild. With around $4 million in cap space left, the Minnesota Wild are looking for another forward to round out its top six and serve as an upgrade for the team. Alex Tanguay's price tag from last year, an expensive $5.3 million is too rich for the Minnesota Wild's tastes. But...

Dany Heatley to the Wild?

Via Goon's World  |  August 14, 2009
I saw this rumor over the Hockey Wilderness. I have to wonder about this rumor. First there was a buzz about this rumor on the Internet last night about the Senators moving Heatley to the Wild but nothing about it on Russo Rant's. Michael Russo is ussually dialed in on what is going on with the Minnesota Wild. Another rumor that was floating around last night had Bret Burns going...
