The Minnesota Wild announced their roster for the annual Traverse City prospect tournament. Minnesota will be sending 15 of their own prospects to Traverse City, Michigan, as well as 10 non-roster invitees.
The Wild’s roster is notable for the talent that they are sending up front. The two biggest names are Joel Eriksson Ek and Luke Kunin. Eriksson Ek impressed in a cup of coffee with the Wild last season, and is expected to assume a two-way role in St. Paul this fall. Kunin wrapped up his collegiate career at Wisconsin last season, and immediately made an impact in the AHL, showing off a strong ability to get off shots.
