That’s Wild
- Former Minnesota Wild draft pick and general good guy, forward Kurtis Gabriel, signed a one-year, two-way deal with the San Jose Sharks. A definitive feel good story.
Thanks so much to Doug Wilson, Doug Wilson Jr. and the coaches for this opportunity. Pre-draft interview in 2013 always had a special place in me and my Mums heart. Look forward to speaking with and meeting everyone in the organization when we get started! #mumisterrifedofsharks https://t.co/kj4QTul605
