- The Wild were badly embarrassed during the Vegas expansion draft, but they should be much better off in the upcoming expansion draft for Seattle. [Zone Coverage]

When @matt_dumba came up with an amazing initiative, I knew I wanted to help in any way I could. We want to give back to the community that has given us a home. ✊
