The Minnesota Wild signed defenseman "Sheriff" Shane Hnidy to a 1 year contract today.
My take: For some reason, Hnidy has been a favorite NHL player of mine. I love the way he plays the game, and I think this is a great pickup by the Wild. I won't miss Mary-Ann Gaborik, with Martin Havlat basically replacing him in the Wild line-up for less money. The Hnidy signing, along with signing of Greg Zanon hopefully means we've seen the last of Martin Skoula in a Wild sweater. It might take a year or two to retool the Wild, but so far I'm happy with the new regime.
--Nothing new on the Express front in the past few days. I've seen maybe a third of the USHL 25-man rosters, and the only player with Express ties that made one of those teams was 2009 draft pick Mac Olson.
--Two weeks from today we'll be watching the 2009/10 Express team taking shape at the Main Tryout Camp.
See you at the rink.
