Colorado Rumored to be in the Josh Harding Sweepstakes

 

According to Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal (via Canada.com):

Minnesota has targeted four teams - the Edmonton Oilers, Colorado Avalanche, Detroit Red Wings and the Philadelphia Flyers - to try and trade backup goalie Josh Harding, who had a 2.21 goals-against average and .929 save percentage in 19 games in the 2008-09 season.

The 2002 second-round draft pick played for Rob Daum when he coached the Wild's AHL farm club in Houston, should they need a scouting report.

The Wild will try to get a second-line forward back for Harding, who turns 25 on June 18.

Here's my thoughts: Goodbye Svats.

NOTE: Hat-tip to thedoctor for burying this in the comments of a fan-post about Ray Emery yesterday.
