MINNY ADDS KHMYLEV

Last night, Minnesota added Yuri Khmylev from the Anaheim Ducks to the roster in a strictly cash deal.  Anaheim was looking to shed salary and the North Stars were looking to bolster their 4th line with a talented forward.  Yes, Khymlev has been undisciplined in years past, but with a opportunity to play on the North Stars' 4th line and coaching style, the team hopes to squeeze as much talent out of Khymlev as they can to overshadow the PIM's he may take with limited minutes. 

With Khymlev in, a roster player will obviously have to sit and Mark Lamb will be that player in tonight's tilt versus the Sharks.  A Sharks team that has gone out and bolstered its line up with players like Sakic, Courtnall, Jonsson and Fuhr to help continue the success they are having this season.  Will it be enough to make a serious splash in this years run and post season?  Time will tell.

Stay tuned.
