So, last night I was perusing through the fabled Russo’s Rants (seriously, if you’re a Wild fan and you’re not reading Russo’s Rants, what’s wrong with you?) and I came across this tasty nugget of information from the incomparable Mike Russo.
“Also, just because the Wild basically traded Boogaard at the deadline doesn't mean they don't want him back. Coach Todd Richards values the element he brings and a third, fourth and Konopka for Boogaard was one heck of a value and why Fletcher was going to make that trade with Tampa.”
I had to read this little snippet about three or four times to make sure I wasn’t misreading it and, indeed, it appears that I might have been the only one in the world that was unaware that Derek Boogaard almost got moved at the trade deadline.
