Well the Winter Classic is done for the year. Begin speculation about where the next one will be played. Please note: it will not be in Minnesota, so you may want to just pretend we don't exist in this equation. You know, like most other equations.

Today's stories are all surrounding one of three topics: Jack Jablonski, which needs even more attention than it is getting, Devin Setoguchi's return, and the massive number of defensemen the Wild are carrying. Some good reads, some big hopes, and some things to keep an eye on, to be sure.

We'll keep this short, since we are behind schedule already, and there isn't much to go with. Enjoy your day, all.
