The morning after assistant coach John Anderson said, “To me, tryouts are over,” the Wild trimmed their roster by nine players Wednesday.
The goal is to trim the fat so the team can better prepare for the final two exhibition games and the regular-season opener Oct. 5 in Detroit. When the Wild visit Kansas City on Thursday to play the St. Louis Blues and host the Dallas Stars on Saturday, the majority of their opening night roster will take part.
The most noteworthy cut Wednesday was goalie Niklas Svedberg being among seven players placed on waivers for the purposes of being reassigned to the American Hockey League Iowa Wild.
