from Michael Russo of the Star-Tribune,
The sales calls will soon go out fast and furious. The Wild is going to advertise the arena, the passionate Minnesota fan base and the offensive—stress on the word offensive—system that will be installed by a young, innovative coach.
Free agency opens Wednesday, and Leipold says the Wild has the loot to throw at upper-echelon players.
The Wild struck out last summer with Marian Hossa. If Detroit’s unable to re-sign him, expect the Wild to step up to the plate and try again. Maybe it’s the Sedin twins. Maybe it’s Michael Cammalleri or Martin Havlat.
“We want to be a team that’s competing next year and we’re going to have money available to sign one of those top guys, and I’m including Marian Gaborik in that,” Leipold said. “Gaborik can still be the guy. If not, there are three, four, five other guys you would put in that category.
“We’re a team that’s got everything to offer. And we would have the cap space to do it and the ability and the desire to do it.”
