Happy Independence Day, Wilderness!
The Fourth of July will forever be a day that will be remembered - fondly by some, with disdain by others. On this date seven years ago, the Wild signed Zach Parise and Ryan Suter to matching 13-year, $98 million contracts. But we’ve talked about this before. A couple times.
Instead of rehashing the pros and cons of those deals, I thought it might be fun to look back on the Wild players (all defensemen) to wear the number four. Some of them you’ll remember.
