Has Soucy been that much better than Seeler to get second pairing duty (I've missed the last few games)? Or is it just BB wants even more muscle next to Spurgeon?

How do you do Wild fans? First, congrats on winning a playoff spot. Supposedly those things are super hard to come by (starts crying).

HF Hawks is doing a bandwagon draft where each playoff team gets to pick a willing participant to be on a team's bandwagon for the playoffs (we may have stolen the idea from HF Canes). Minnesota is currently up, so if one of you doesn't mind stopping in and picking an available name, it'd be really appreciated. http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threa...-original-idea.2475841/page-10#post-144320725

I think it has more to do with leaving the Seeler/Prosser pairing together.

My current theories, in order of likelihood, are:
1.) He wants to mitigate the rookie-factor in the bottom 4 by putting the greenest one with Spurgeon.
2.) Seeler-Prosser is already a known quantity, to some extent.
3.) He feels Soucy compliments Spurgeon better than Seeler does.

I think #3 is pretty tenuous, since a lot of the good things you can say about Soucy's game you could say about Seeler's as well. But who knows? Maybe we just slap a Scandella mask on Soucy and hope for the best.

that’s cool but
Let’s be honest here nobody is going to pick the Wild especially hawks fans.

Yeah, but it's more of just this humerus thing. If I were you guys, I'd pick someone who absolutely does not want to be a Wild fan just for the LOLs. I know DisgruntledHawkFan is one of those guys.
 
Bandwagoners? I think our wagons are in pretty rough shape, rotting in the backyard. Does anyone know really good wheelwright?

I would be ok with this. Scandella-Spurgeon was the best Dman pairing the Wild have come up with since Schultz-Burns. Suter-Spurgeon doesn't get the mark because they are both already good players.

Scandella-Spurgeon was so much more than the sum of the two parts.

Still can't see Jets winning this with the roll Minnesota has been on.

The Wild will have to play very well with three green rookies drawing regular minutes in order to win a GAME. Don’t go by how well the Wild have played at the X. If it started there they could get lucky.
The top six will cancel but that third line of Winnipeg will hem in the third D pair especially if the shift gets long.
Penalties will be lethal as the Jets are very effective on the PP.
 
Just another heads up about the bandwagon draft. Because of time constraints, I can only give you guys/gals one more hour. If you don't make a selection by then, we'll just bump you guys from your current spot to the final spot (as in the last picked poster).

Go ahead and bump our pick. There was only 15 Hawks fans signed up anyways. Can't stand to see Col pout because they get left out.

Actually we added Machinehead, who's a NYR fan, but he's a big time poster on HF and he was interested in doing it, so we now actually have a full 16. Was kinda hoping he'd make it to the Wild pick, but Leafs had to go screw it all up.

Okay. We'll take someone then. I was hoping one of our Mods would do it. But if there's no pick until with 10 mins on the clock I'll pick someone.

I made the Wild's pick for the Hawks bandwagon fan thing. @ColdSteel2 welcome.

Now the question is do we keep him, put him on waivers (pretty sure he gets claimed), or trade him? :help:
