The Minnesota Wild are going a different route. With the believed final roster battle between forwards Nic Petan and Mason Shaw taking place, we all assumed that they would have used the extra space created by Jordan Greenway’s injury and go with 13 forwards and seven defensemen to start their 2022-23 season.
Well, that was wrong. Announced by the team on Sunday afternoon, the Wild have placed both Petan and Shaw on waivers. Both forwards will head to the AHL if they clear.
The #mnwild has placed forwards Nic Petan and Mason Shaw on waivers today for the purpose of assignment to the @IAWild.
