With the conclusion of the Haula arbitration case, it looks as though the roster is (most likely) complete shaping up with 13 forwards, 7 defensemen, and 3 goalies (grrrrrrrr.) As Russo has reminded, Niklas Backstrom still can't be bought out through the second arbitration window because he has not been medically cleared to play. From this point forward, any trades or signings will come as mostly a surprise as the Wild have just $1.5M remaining to the salary cap.
Let's delay no further - on to today's Walk with an ode to Erik Haula:
