Derek Boogaard and Todd Fedoruk can exist in peace
It is very strange to think that on 10/27/2006, Derek Boogaard broke Todd Fedoruk’s cheek bone in a fight and just over one year later, Boogaard has seemingly lost his job as the "Enforcer" on the Minnesota Wild’s roster to Fedoruk.Boogaard has been a healthy scratch for a bunch of games since...
Minnesota Wild add muscle to the roster with Todd Fedoruk
The Minnesota Wild Thursday claimed tough-guy forward Todd Fedoruk off waivers. Fedoruk, a 6-foot-2, 240-pound winger, had two assists and 33 penalty minutes in 11 games with Dallas this season. The Stars tried to trade him, he said, then waived him Monday before recalling him again on Wednesday....

Wild Roster Under 30; Tryouts Still Going Strong
Coach Jaques Lemaire cut the roster to 29 yesterday which is still a high number for his liking. Formulating a practice for too many players, the coach said, is difficult. "Because you have to check the types of drills you make so the guys don't stand too long before they get involved," he said....
Wild Roster Cuts
The Minnesota Wild cut training camp down to 36 players by assigning 13 players to training camp in Houston. The early cuts are always the easiest as you send young developing guys to sharpen their skills, but the remaining 36 are guys who legitimately have a chance to make the starting lineup,...
