Moves take Wild closer to opening day roster

The team put two players on waivers, sent seven more to Iowa

October 3, 2014 at 7:27PM

Greetings from Xcel Energy Center, where I have the privilege of watching Wild practice while Mr. Russo makes his way back from St. Louis.

The Wild made some moves today, getting down to 27 players, which includes goalies Josh Harding and Ilya Bryzgalov. So that means some more moves need to be made to get the team down to the final roster of 23 plus injured players.

Today's moves: The Wild put center Brett Sutter and wing Curt Gogol on waivers. Centers Tyler Graovac and Zack Phillips, wings Michael Keranen and Joel Rechlicz and defensemen Jonathon Blum, Justin Falk and Gustav Olofsson were sent to Iowa of the AHL.

Both Sutter and Gogol will be sent to Iowa should they clear waivers.

I'll get back to you after practice is over.
