Hey Matt,
If nothing else works out for your RD situation,
maybe we should talk before the season about a Jamie
Heward-Mattias Norstrom deal. I know you want to get
younger but so do I. But maybe this will work out for
this one year for the 2 of us. Heward is 9 months
older than Norstrom. Heward is rated 2-2(3) RD,
Norstrom 1-4(3) LD. Heward was 6g-18a +2, Norstrom
2g-9a -18. I have been planning to run Brent Burns at
RW this year but I can shift him to RD as this is
probably the last year he'll be rated at RW anyway. I
do want to keep my other 2 young RD (Michalek and
Schultz). I think I'll be set at RD for a while with
those 3. (ALTHOUGH if I remember right, Burns played
more at LD last year for the Wild than RD. I think
SOM sometimes just goes by what hand they shoot with.)
And as it sits right now I have to find 25 GP at LD.
I wouldn't mind getting Belanger as I will get to
watch him up close with the Wild this year but I don't
have a backup goalie to offer.

Thanks
Paul
