Nic Petan, #19, recalled and joined Wild on Sweden trip. Apparently NHL waives salary cap restrictions to ensure Euro trip teams can filed complete rosters.
Sharks were created in 1991 when North Star owners, the Gund Bros., granted expansion team in San Jose. Bizarre dispersal draft saw North Stars roster and talent pool raided to create Sharks. Irony is that the remaining North Stars went to Stanley Cup finals following season, with Jon Casey in net, where they were soundly defeated by one of the greatest Pittsburgh Penguins team of all time.
Iowa D Daemon Hunt and G Jasper Wallstedt recalled as team prepares for European trip. Also traveling with, Wild D and C/RW Freddie Gaudreau, both of whom are currently on IR, per team.
Wild give up on high-end 23-year-old for a steady 33-year-old rental. Do the Wild see something in Adam Raska's game that Sharks missed? Otherwise, Wild just got older.
Wild trade D Calen Addison to San Jose for a 5th round pick and 22-year-old RW Adam Raska, team reports.
Must signal the return of Jared Spurgeon.
Addison had been acquired from Penguins in the Jason Zucker deal.
Boldy practiced and will play, Evanson said post practice today. Gaudreau did not practice, still out. Spurgeon did skating drills only for half practice remains in IR with no set return date.
Wisconsin 5 Minnesota 2 last night. Second game of series tonight.
