08:41 AM ET 07.01 | The Wild, who have gone four seasons without making the playoffs, are actually in a position to afford both Parise and Suter, although the team's financial status became a bit complicated last week when 38-percent stockholder Phil Falcone, a New York hedge fund manager, had civil charges for impropriety filed against him by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Falcone and Wild majority owner Craig Leipold are believed to have right of first refusal to buy each other out if either wants to sell his interest in the team. Leipold, or someone else, would be expected to buy Falcone's share at fair market value if he were forced to sell to pay SEC fines. Meanwhile, word within the NHL is that Leipold might be willing to sell the Wild after a new league labor deal is in place. Signing Parise and/or Suter certainly would add value to the franchise.

Playoff: May 10
Burke keeps his job.
I guess that goes against everything the pool is for, but I'm not confident in their futility this year and it's unfortunate :(

I can understand your optimism Danny. I hear Burkie and his multi-million dollar management team are poised to throw bags of cash at Olli Jokinen. Enjoy.

After me missing the Shultz deal yesterday, thought I'd try and give one back. It was B.C. (that's Before Coffee in the US)
