What if I told you that, on Tuesday, one of the NHL’s premiere offensive talents signed a lucrative contract extension, would you be interested? What if I told you that player was a former Boston Bruin and was traded by Peter Chiarelli in a deal that included Rich Peverly, are you intrigued? What if I told you that player’s extension was with a team in the thunderdome that is the NHL’s Central Division? You’d listen, I’m sure.
I could say every single one of those things. Of course, I’d have to add said player was Blake Wheeler.
