The Wild were in a damned if they do, damned if they don't scenario based on the CBA change AFTER the Wild signed Parise and Suter. It made teams pay for signing back-diving deals like those of Parise and Suter. Had either player retired prior to their contract ending, even if they were on a different team, the Wild would have suffered cap recapture penalties. The Wild will have to draft well and have good, cheap, players ready to take some spots in years 3 and 4 of the buyout as the cap hits for those years for Parise and Suter could be crippling. Once we get beyond years three and four

33-22 win! Vixen are headed to the national championship.

The Vixen battle for the conference championship, and the right to go to the National Championship game in Canton, OH, tonight at 7 against the 2019, defending, conference championship team from California. If any of you are in the Edina area, we are playing at Kuhlman Field (5701 Normandale), and tickets can be purchased online (via phone right at the gate as well).

Vixen travel to Arlington, TX this weekend for the WFA game of the week. Finally excited to get a true test of our team.

A buyout doesn’t make much sense to me. Yeah, we’d get some cap room for next year, but the difference in just having Parise on the roster and buying him out in years 2, 3, and 4 is negligible. Then he’d also be on the books for around a 900k cap hit for an additional 4 years after his contract would have run out.

He’s got a no move clause, and a high cap number that teams would want to send a bad contract back for. There’s also the problem of cap recapture penalties for when he and Suter retire (if it’s before their contracts expire). after this season, and how he was used, I bet he’d waive his no move clause and may even be willing to waive it for the expansion draft. If I’m management, I definitely go to him and ask to waive for expansion (Seattle likely wouldn’t take him), so that I could protect another young forward.

Because he had not been good when given minutes to end the regular season. Team speed took a hit with him on the ice as well. Not a fan of Johansson (who he replaced in the lineup due to injury), but Parise being in the pressbox was deserved.

Lack of center depth is glaring. Teams able to lock in on Kap and Fiala.

I got to know Kelly a bit as a point of contact between the Vixen and Vikings. Super stoked for her.

With their run of QBs, I think I just expect it to happen at this point. If it doesn’t happen, I’ll just be pleasantly surprised.

Ignoring playing in a potentially packed home stadium backing a defense that will likely lead to more offensive opportunity?

In terms of bulk stats, don't forget that we are playing a third place schedule instead of a second place schedule this year.

Doubt he’d be just a return guy should he make the roster. With his traits, he could easily be a RB3 type as he develops, a gunner on KO/Punt, and any number of other special teams roles. is that worth a 4th round pick? Meh, maybe not, but his athleticism is incredibly intriguing.

56-0 win in our opener tonight for the Vixen. Always nice to be able to unload the bench, continue to push the score, and continue to keep a zero on the board.
