What a Wild night

Hi Readers, well hopefully viewers watched the Wild game last night and not the Minnesota Timberwolves game. But before the Wild talk I did get some comments from a reader about my mock draft, I like to thank Mike for his comment and here is an answer to his question:

I'm a sucker for mock drafts. If Greenway or Huff is there that would be nice, but it seems doubtful.

Do you think we'll trade Daunte or not? That will determine a lot of their draft direction. Interesting thoughts. Mike said...

Answer:

The word on the street is the Minnesota Vikings are actively trying to find takers for Daunte Culpepper. Teams in the mix include Arizona, Baltimore, Oakland, and Miami. With all those teams having draft picks higher than us.

Greenway is projected to go 15th in the draft and Huff is slated to go 10th in the draft. It looks like DeAngelo Williams is dropping after a bad senior bowl practice, and the fact he is only 5'8" in height.

Wild Chatter:

I like to say for all of the bad bounces that the Wild have gotten earlier this season they pulled off a gem last night. With Willie Mitchell handcuffed and Zyuzin on the trainers table, and Schultz and Foster in the box Brent Burns stepped in and played soild defense, and Brian Rolston scored shorthanded to give the Wild a much needed victory over the Coyotes.

Keith Ballard played one of his best games of his short lived NHL career. This was a guy who barely made the Coyotes this past fall and has been a gem defensemen on the Coyotes. I went to school with Keith and never thought he would turn out this good. He played wing in highschool and never thought the guy would turn in this good of a defensemen. I like to congrat his game last night and hopefully he has a long NHL career.

Other Minnesota Sports Notes:

The Timberwolves are falling fast out of contention. And the lost last night shows how far away from a championship the Timberwolves are away. Chancey Billups is a great point guard and I knew this guy was good when he was playing for us. Look for the Timberwolves to miss the playoffs and keep there draft pick.

Daunte Culpepper fired his agent yesterday and it sounds like he is going to become his own agent. Look for the Vikings to re-format his contract to get there money back.

Twins fans we got him signed yes!! Nick Punto agreed to a one year contract with the Twins.

Please leave comments, Thanks Mike.
