As a die hard Wild fan I was very happy to hear that Ed Jovanovski could be out for the season with pending abdominal surgery. The Wild's chances for a playoff berth have improved!
Well clearly McCabe is taking his place.... Remember the taxi squad?
But in case you guys are talking about taking the spot on the taxi squad that will be open (if that's possible), Hannan should go in place of Phaneuf, no doubt. Phaneuf is good but he shouldn't go for the same reasons Crosby isn't. Calgarians seem to think he is some kind of God, when he's really (for now) just any other physical D.
For sure McCabe is there in his place and he deserves it. I am talking taxi squad and I think you are right about Phaneuf. Hannan has been there before (World Cup) and deserves another shot.
