Welcome!
Yes, here at HF you come to the conclusion that the trade forum is a gong show of sorts. Never to really be taken all that seriously or your head may just explode. Especially being a Wild fan, most fans of other teams just don't watch this team enough and know what sort of value players have on this team.
Hope you like the place. Always looking for more contributions.

Music: All kinds of rock, from classic to metal. My favorite genre is probably late 80s, early 90’s grunge however.
Hobbies: Reading, video games, playing all kinds of sports
Fav food: Chicken Cutlets.
Fav Beer: Hard to say, I rotate between Long Trail, Heineken, Newcastle, but I haven’t tried nearly enough.
Fav Wild moment: January 10th, 2010. The Wild were down 5-1 to the Blackhawks going into the third period. They came back and tied it to go to overtime and Harding was outstanding in that shootout. That solidified me as a Wild fan…the X was rocking.
How long I have been a Wild fan: Chuck Fletcher era 2009-2010. I had always followed them but never really got into it because I can’t watch them locally. Starting that year I got the hockey package for TV and have watched them religiously for 2 years now. Kind of cool to grow with the new GM as a fan, and seeing progress is always good. I was a Hartford Whalers fan as a kid, when they left I kind of stopped being a real hockey fan for a while. Gravitated to Minnesota sports because my pops was born in MN, and grew up in Blaine. I’m a Vikings and Twins fan as well.

Fav food: Burgers, tacos, quesadillas, many fruits, and cold cereal :-X
Fav Beer: Corona/Pacifico with lime, and Moosehead
Fav Wild moment/how I became a fan: Koivu's Canuck-killer backhand goal against Luongo a few years ago. It really made Luonbroooo look silly. I think it was after Koivu came back from that ugly slash injury?
How long I have been a Wild fan: I became a dedicated fan after Brunette ended Roy's season in 2003.
Origin of screen name: ?!
Jerseys owned: None unfortunately. My friend says they're difficult to clean. I do plan on getting something for my favorite Finnesota Wild players (Koivu, Granlund, Backstrom).
Been meaning to post in this thread, and on the board. I’ve been mildly interested in the Wild for most of their existence. I’m more of a hoops fan, since the North Stars left I haven’t really cared much about pro hockey outside of video game form and the playoffs (The only sporting event I like more than playoff hockey is probably March Madness. Hockey is also by far the sport that makes the transition to video game the best.).
I usually checked Hockey’s Future around draft time every year just to see if there’s anything I should pay attention to. There’s a sports vacuum in MN right now, the Wild look interesting for the first time since gettin’ Giggy wid it put the kibosh on the hopes of an unexpected Finals run. I’ve probably already watched more complete Wild games this year than I did the last two years combined (I’m a Timberwolves fan, winters have been depressing enough).
I don’t know much about hockey, but I’m looking to learn, and I’m jumping on the Wild bandwagon this year.
