He just said he would consider it but he always wanted to re-sign with Dallas. Modano wouldn't have been a good fit cap-wise anyway, you have to think flexibility when re-signing guys of his age. The Wild are going to have an interesting situation with Goaltending this spring, will be curious to see which netminder they trade, one of them is going to go, or perhaps one of them leaves at the draft this summer.

There were actually a lot of high points to the season. Watching Koivu continue to evolve as a key player was fun, especially after getting side-lined for part of the time. Harkening waaaaaay back to an earlier post, remember Modano DID ask to come back to MN last (?) year, but DR turned him down. Not the right fit given everything else, apparently.

But my favorite part of the season.... hmmmm..... has to be clinching the Division against the freakin' Cows. Partially because I was at that game but it was such a fun game to watch. A close second has to be Giggy's tantrum when the boys chased him from the game (I was at that one as well). Agree on Fridge being a pleasant surprise, and he can dance.

So what was everyone's favorite event or part from last season? I liked how well the Fridge did on the line with Gabby and Demo and what a pleasant surprise he was for us.
