Jordan Leopold

[Engebretson]

Addressed a need without overpaying. I like it.

I'm really hoping we add someone with size and physicality in the free agent market this offseason but for now I'm cool with it.

And his daughter's letter certainly is getting national attention.

 

[Lapa]

I don't know much about Leopold. He has to be better than Falk, right?

 

[Finnpin]

Jarmo Kekäläinen tweeted, it isnt always just about business and added that pic link.

 

[Lapa]

I like this Leopold guy already

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Gopher fans have to be happy about this one just for the nostalgia. That Hobey season was truly incredible. Welcome back Jordan!

 

[BigT2002]

Now we just need to get Paul Martin and all can be right in the world. Right guys? ....Guys??

 

[Eye of Ra]

that letter....HAHAHAHAHA!

Good trade, I like it. Never liked Falk anyway.

We're one Phil Kessel away from being the Minnesota Green Gophers

If we actually get a decent coach some day and a system that doesn't at least look like it kills players more Minnesota and Midwest natives will want to come here too.

We have a decent coach, we just need a more consistent team and a better team philosophy.

Hartigan was robbed.

 

[llamapalooza]

Looks like that letter actually made a difference...

 

[Engebretson]

If that Jarmo tweet was true, that's awful classy.

Also, lol at Falk wanting a trade. This was your second chance here and you didn't take advantage. Your fault.

I'm a big fan of Leopold but even today when I saw St Louis trade I thought how the attempt with Leopold didn't work. Didn't do anything for Columbus either. Started off well with Calgary and that playoff run but that was a long time ago and this year seemed like his last hurrah. If not for the injuries, he would have had a much better career I think. He was something else in college.

Meh, maybe coming home will rejuvenate his career although that hasn't been seen with any Gophers on the Wild, has it?

Schroeder, Boom. Roasted!

Maybe.

This seemed inevitable the way the chatter was going down the last few days.

Not a bad move. Oh, and clearly his daughter has to plant the flag now for a game. That would be awesome.

He is here for depth.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Don't care for this move. We gave up the best asset in this trade. (5th)

Wrote about this. Great story and good to see another Gopher/Minnesotan get a chance to play on the hometown NHL team. However, as another move where the name is bigger than the role it really puts the cherry on top of Minnesota sports' winter of nostalgia.

Where do we see Leopoldo top 4 Damon or a 5/6 dman

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

What do you think it will take to get Barry effing Tallackson from Eisbären Berlin of the DEL? Chris Stewart?!

If he's in the top-4 something has gone horribly wrong.
