Hockey!

Yeah, my favorite.

It's Judd's Hockey Show.

And welcome to a busy week of Judd's Hockey Show.

I foresee a Monday show.

I foresee a Tuesday show, the start of Free Agency, 11 a.m. on Tuesday.

I foresee a Wednesday show with Jesse Pierce.

And who knows, we could be adding to that list as well. But age the draft is done now. We'll get into it a little bit.

I don't know. It's exciting when you've got what a second round pick. So yeah, but let's start here.

Okay. And I actually wrote about this for my substack judd zolgadd substack as well but

remember when Craig leopold the owner of the wild uh excitedly and I don't blame him last fall

I think it was around October 1st talked about the fact that July 1st which we are now one day

from was going to be like Christmas day because the wild was finally going to have October 1st, talked about the fact that July 1st, which we are now one day away from,

was going to be like Christmas Day because the wild was finally going to have cap space.

I think it turns out to be what, around $17 plus million in cap space.

They could go out finally after a couple of years of being hamstrung absolutely or more

by the Parisian sewer contracts, and they could be players in the market.

And it was going to be great.

And then as the season progressed, we're like, you know what you really need, Craig?

You really need a center.

And at the end of the year, end of the regular, or end of the season, I should say, after the

playoff lost of Vegas, a press conference, Bill Guerin said we need to get Jewel Erickson
