Justin Kloos has been cut loose and the Wild have acquired left winger Pontus Aberg from the Anaheim Ducks. Deal is one for one.
Aberg was drafted in the second round by the Nashville Predators in 2012. The winger stands at 5-foot-11 and weighs in at 196 pounds. Perhaps most intriguing to Wild fans is that he shoots right, which is a welcome addition to a team overstuffed with players who shoot left.
Aberg was dealt by the Predators at the trade deadline last year to acquire Mark Letestu.
