That's Wild
On Tuesday afternoon, the Wild announced that they have cut their training camp roster to just 25 players. Jujhar Khaira, Nic Petan, Vinni Lettieri, and Dakota Mermis are all on waivers, and Sammy Walker and Jesper Wallstedt were reassigned to Iowa. Now, heading into the season, the Wild are carrying exactly 12 forwards, seven defensemen, and the two regular netminders. The roster is pretty much final.
