Wilderness Walk: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Backstrom is gone, to the cheers of many Wild fans, bidding his large contract goodbye. Then we look at the contract we got back. It's true, David Jones may well be able to contribute meaningfully at the NHL level. Then again, the Wild gave up a prospect and a (low) draft pick for yet another veteran, aging, grinder rental.

So who knows. What a boring day.... which honestly might be for the best. Le sigh.

In any case.... here's a great lady on the youtube who plays good piano.
