It will be interesting this summer because he is a RFA and due to the number of games he has played, he will probably be due a raise. The Wild braintrust would be retarded to even consider giving him a raise especially with all the other players who deserve raises for next year also being RFA as well as a long-term front-loaded contract for Koivu before the next CBA takes those away too. It will be interesting to see what they do in the coming weeks that is for sure. And why are they clearing two roster spots today? Do they have something in the works maybe?Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704880780419751560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376347.post-78766990953169194742010-01-19T14:44:14.154-06:002010-01-19T14:44:14.154-06:00I wish they would just cut ties with Sheppard fast...I wish they would just cut ties with Sheppard fast.Eric J.

They are clearly still hoping to trade him and get anything in return. This proves that no one was going to trade for Sykora so they just need to get rid of him for the cap relief.<br /><br />Almost guaranteed, if/when Sheppard moves on, he will produce for that team. He will probably never produce up to the level of his draft status but I think it is clear he will never produce in MN. Pouliot was the same way, we all thought he was a lazy wuss who could not use his body to his advantage, but a change of scenery and a team that does not require him to play defensively and he is producing now.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704880780419751560noreply@blogger.com
