It felt like it was coming, and with a few key forwards returning to the lineup, Tyson Jost has found himself on the outside looking in as the Minnesota Wild have placed the 24-year-old forward on waivers.
Originally acquired last year for forward Nico Sturm from the Colorado Avalanche, Jost was an intriguing player coming into this season. The 10th-overall pick in the 2016 draft, ahead of players like Charlie McAvoy and Jakob Chychrun, Jost has stumbled out of the gate, tallying only three points in 12 games this season for the Wild.
