Whilst Nick Seeler has been seen running through some on-ice training, his upper-body issue has seemingly not healed enough to bring him back into the fold. Matt Bartkowski was sent back to the Iowa Wild after a pair of games and now Ryan Murphy finds himself on the Minnesota Wild roster.
Murphy represents a player that hasn’t quite been able to stick it at an NHL level but is borderline too good to be in the American Hockey League. One of those challenging decisions a General Manager must make of passing a player through waivers and hoping he isn’t claimed, as opposed to sitting them endlessly in the press box.
