Caleb Addison signed one year at $825,000.
Gavin Hain released following prospects tournament
Wild release 60-man training camp roster. Vinnie Letteri (#10) Adam Beckman (11) Jujhar Kharia (16) and Sammy Walker (18) get some new sweater numbers for call-ups.....
Nothing against international competition. Ukrainian war looms politically. Sports cannot always be separated from politics. Still own a St. Petersburg sweater from a tour of U.S. colleges in early 80s. So, to elaborate, bad timing and puts athletes in a political spotlight they didn't ask for.
Three names for potential depth:
Jujhar Kharia....29 year old vet from BC and Michigan Tech. Report by Sportsnet's Elliot Friedman. 6-2 214 history of back injuries. With Chicago last year.
Phil Kessel....35, 5-11 215 working out in Vegas at captain practices. Several outlets link to Minnesota....
Gavin Hain
...23, 5-11 195 training camp invite, Philly selected but passed on this 5-year UND centerman.
Lemaire had no problem slotting 6-6 defenseman Alex "Hands of Stone" Henry as a fourth-line forward if he didn't think minor-leaguers were up to the job.
Would think Adam Beckman, 22, 6-2, 182, has a shot at making team. He had 24 goals and 36 total points in Iowa last season,where he wore #11. He wore #53 in limited NHL call ups
