Who will the Wild be bringing with from Iowa?

Have to assume Johansson will miss a bit of time with how quickly he went down the tunnel following that interference check into the boards.

Believe they'd have to swap Mermis for a forward in Iowa or run 11/7 to be compliant. FREE SAMMY WALKER, think he would be the closest thing in Iowa to Mojo. Didn't like the look of him holding his wrist basically sprinting down the tunnel. Hope it's not too serious.

My guess is Vinni Lettieri or Khaira, purely due to contract size.  Sammy Walker could make his way up next month if Johansson is out for an extended period, or if another forward misses time.

Lettieri and Khaira have some NHL experience. Lettieri has some scoring ability and also was pretty good in training camp. Khaira has excellent size and grit.

Now that you say that about contract I think I do remember seeing something Russo put out that it would have to be Lettieri or Khaira. From the glimpses I saw of Lettieri I would rather have him up on that 2nd line to keep it scoring oriented. We have grit in spades with the current lineup already.
