Hockey.

My favorite, it's Judd's Hockey Show.

And do we have a Judd's Hockey Show for you?

Zolgate and Declan Gough, I believe we are live.

If you're watching us or beginning to tune in, we appreciate that.

If you're listening to us later on, we appreciate that.

Huge breaking news from St. Paul this morning, in which one thing happened that we sort of

thought might and another happened that we didn't see coming.

The Wilde has officially announced that they have bought out the contracts remaining four

years of not only Zach Porese,

but defenseman Ryan Suter as well. And so the duo who came here on July 4th, 2012,

in what is the biggest free agent day in Minnesota sports history, 13-year $98 million contracts

with complete no-move clauses. come here on july 4th of

2012 and today it what's the day today deklin the july july 13th of july july 13th of 2021 they depart

as they came in as a duo as a pair certainly Certainly, neither one is done playing yet. They will both

surface somewhere. They will not be members of the wild. And Declan, let's try and parses apart as we get

closer to the expansion draft, which is a week from Wednesday. Now, the protected lists for the

expansion draft, which will bring Seattle

into the NHL, will be submitted on Saturday and announced on Sunday. But this is huge news in so many

different ways, beginning with this decks, these expanses. So because Souter and Preezy had no

move clauses, they both had to be protected. Well, they're both gone now.

And so Bill Garen for the immediate time has really made his life easier because he now can basically protect everybody he wants.
