C’était censé être le début d’un âge d’or pour le hockey du Minnesota. Une fin à leurs années de futilité après une série éliminatoire surprise près de dix ans plus tôt. La signature des deux meilleurs agents libres sur le marché a de nouveau fait rêver la région à la Coupe Stanley. Malheureusement, la réalité fonctionne rarement comme prévu. Les deux joueurs que l’on pensait les avoir emmenés au sommet n’ont pas eu l’impact significatif qu’ils souhaitaient. Les deux ont contribué à ramener le Wild en séries éliminatoires, mais rien de plus. Concurrent, mais pas un vrai concurrent. C’est le malheur du Wild du Minnesota, une équipe enfermée dans deux terribles contrats pour de nombreuses années à venir. Une équipe qui ne peut pas compléter son noyau avec des talents pour les emmener au sommet. Une équipe qui flirte avec l’insignifiance qu’elle cherchait à dépasser. Cette vidéo est un peu différente du tarif habituel. J’ai juste pensé que je changerais un peu les choses. Gardez-le « frais ». Fait « amusant »: Cette machine à sous vidéo devait à l’origine être une vidéo sur les Flyers de Philadelphie. Gagner neuf matchs sur dix met en quelque sorte ces plans en attente. Juste juste.

The Day That Killed The Minnesota Wild is another day. Jan 10, 2008 – The Day When Craig Leipold Buy Minnesota Wild.

New homes: Suter with the Stars, Parise with the Islanders.
0:46–1:18 Let me guess, this started the infamous "Norm Greed Sports Curse" that took haul of the Twin Cities.
I would have liked to have known what Parise's career could have been if he resigned to stay in New Jersey? As a devils fan everyone had confidence in him and the fans loved him too. A big what if statement, but obviously he couldn't pass up that trip to the bank
I'm here because The Flyers set a new record for losing at 13. Earlier this season they had a 10 game losing streak. Can they Fire Chuck Fletcher!!!!
And yet 3 years later and the hype is incredible. A fountain of youth talent erupting, explosive offense, and shutdown defense all while crunching cap like no other. In Guerin we trust. Stanley Cup 2022 incoming!!!
This video should’ve been the Flyers’
Prove me wrong
Now they get Marc-Andre Fleury from Chicago
I'll say the signings doomed them. Just after they signed those 13 year deals the NHL locked out and with it came a new CBA which put a cap on how long teams could sign players for. Which was eight years. If Parise and Suter signed 8 year deals then they would be have seen their contracts expired by now instead of being bought out and putting the Wild into potential financial ruin following this current season. How long until players like Zuccarello, Brodin and Greenway have to be moved because of the amount of dead cap they will be paying for the next few years?
Parise eventually went to the Islanders while Suter ironically went to Dallas.
Chuck kills philly pt.2
Vikings in green
And there they go again, out of the playoffs
Who’s here after the Minnesota Wild are eliminated in the first round again against St. Louis Blues in Game 6?!?!
Dan Cloutier definitely cost the Canucks deep playoff runs if not a potential cup.
Stupid Cloutier.
"Close but never close enough" Minnesota sports teams summed up in 1 sentence😭😭😭
And they lost Kevin Fiala because of a 10 years old move and he had 85 Pts in 81 games.
Ouch
Happy 10 Year Anniversary Wild! You killed your ability to compete for a Stanley Cup long term for the glories of two second round appearances.
So Fletcher signs Parise and Suter, and 10 years later, is too cowardly to sign Johnny Hockey, a local superstar? Fire Fletcher into the Delaware right now. In fact, he can fall off the Walt Whitman right into it
Can't believe it's been over a decade since those signings! While Parise & Suter are definitely great (speaking on when the contracts were signed at least), I (& likely many others) knew those contracts were gonna be a special kind of brutal eventually
coming back to this video after seeing chuck fletcher do the same shit with the flyers
Fun fact if the Wild signed them 3 months later. They would of been 8 year contracts instead of 13
Chuck Fletcher should be banned from having another GM job in the NHL when the Flyers inevitably fire him. How many more franchises can he plunge into cap hell?
