Could something actually top Suter and Parise signing with the Wild?

I know what you're thinking: what could ever top the addition of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter to the Wild roster? Well, there's one thing that MIGHT actually get Wild fans even more revved up for the 2012-13 season than they already are: the possible addition of Mike Modano to the Wild roster. No, I'm not kidding. The legendary hockey player from Detroit was recently inducted in the NHL Hall of Fame, and it was made known that there is a chance - alebiet small - that he would be willing to come back to the sport for one more season.

If he did come back, his obvious choices for a return would either be Minnesota or Dallas - given that's where he spent the majority of his hockey career. And although the Wild aren't necessarily in need of any more superstar power, the amount of publicity that would come along with bringing Modano back to the place he got his start for one last season would be immeasurable. Not to mention the amount of fan support the team would get from nostalgic fans around the state.

What do you think about the prospect of Modano returning to hockey?

No, I can't top Suter and Parise in Wild news

Since the Wild signed Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, it seems like there's no big piece of news that can really compete with that. It seems like that's the only thing that Wild fans really care about at this point in the game. But in an effort to really keep you guys in the loop, the Wild DID sign contract extensions with three Aeros players this week: David MacIntyre, Carson McMillan and Jarod Palmer. To be honest, I don't pay a ton of attention to the affiliate squads. I honestly have no idea who these players are. But the Wild obviously like the, from the 2011-12 season and since they are re-signing them, there is a possibility that they'll be playing on major league ice this winter, even if it is on a small scale!
