– Back again. Lots of blogs lately, probably because I have a broken foot and am pretty much relegated to making calls and writing.

Speaking of which, as I mentioned earlier, I had something else for you. I talked with Brian Rolston today, and he said he’s “optimistic” he can get a deal done with the Wild.

Last week, Wild assistant GM Tom Lynn and Rolston’s agent, Steve Bartlett, met in St. Paul and apparently made headway, according to Rolston. He said the Wild is willing to meet his term — at least more than one year — and it’s just a matter of making the dollars work.

Obviously, nothing’s set in stone, but if you’re a Wild fan hoping Rolston re-ups, this is a positive sign. See Thursday’s article.

– Also, as you can see in this TSN article, Doug Risebrough’s committee meeting in Toronto went well if you want goalie equipment trimmed. Take a look at the story for details.
