Teams around the NHL have plopped down a hunk of players on the waiver wire Thursday afternoon, to reassign those former camp hopefuls to the respective AHL camps. The Minnesota Wild were involved and some relatively significant names will be in Iowa to start the season.
Forwards Joseph Cramarossa, Will Bitten, and Dominic Turgeon are all free to get snatched by any other organization, but will most likely be simply going to the AHL Wild and will compete in their camp there.
Cramarossa, 28, was a mainstay on the Wild’s taxi squad last season, but only appeared in a total of 12 professional hockey games — four in the NHL and eight in the AHL.
