Pominville wants to be extended before the opener
I apparently can't quote from the article on my phone but basically said he wants 5million or more and doesn't want to negotiate during the season to avoid distractions.
Better sign him gmcf, gave up larson and all6x$5m or 5x$6m.
Neither of which would hurt our chances of keeping the youngsters.
'OK' just isn't enough for Parise and Wild (With more at the link)“I would imagine the fans won’t be happy with me,” Brown said at August’s U.S. Olympic camp. “It wasn’t pretty, but it wasn’t one of those where I was trying to do anything. I had the puck and it was just instinct.”
Brown, who played with Pominville before at the world championships, saw him after the game and apologized. He was suspended for the Kings’ final two regular-season games.
“I’m sure it’s not what he meant to do,” Pominville said. “Facing him again, I’m just going to play my game. It’s our first game. You don’t want to worry about those things. I’m sure he’s not going to take another run at me in that way.
“Hopefully we don’t have to see anything like that from him again.”
“In my mind, I know I can play a lot better,” Parise, 29, said. “For me, that’s encouraging because I know I can be a lot better. I’m not going to say I was terrible, but it wasn’t my best. For me, I thought it was just average.”
Yep. I don't think he would turn down a 6-year at $5/year contract. I agree with him that under $5 million/year sounds like a low-ball for a 1st line RW.6x$5m or 5x$6m.

I know it's a concern that guys like Brodin and Coyle are going to be getting 5 million/year 2nd contracts, but the Cap goes both ways. If there is less cap room, RFA's make less.

Russo said:If Dumba doesn't play tomorrow, likely to play Sat. vs. ANA. #mnwild may be worried about home opener nerves; he had a tough practice today
