From @RussoStrib: Sheppard Suspended

I missed this while writing up the game thread and Walk this AM, but Russo has confirmed that the Wild have suspended James Sheppard:

"I reported this two days ago w/o attribution, but agent Mark Guy confirms to me that #mnwild C James Sheppard has been suspended by tm"

"He's on non-roster IR, which just means injured before training camp. Wild will not pay him, he comes off cap, they will help him rehab"

Foreshadowing

It’s almost like Harding and Shep were both signs from the hockey gods for how this season is going to go. For how excited I was for the season to start, I couldn’t imagine that I would start dreading the season this early.

The only possible benefit here is that I’ll do my part to provide economic stimulus to the adult beverage industry.
