Minnesota Wild General Discussion 2024-25

Russo late night drop alluding to Spurgeon dealing with a setback related to his injuries from last season. Huge blow if true. You gotta wonder if he starts to look at being an LTIR candidate moving forward. We can’t afford to keep throwing away another 7.5M every year.

Russo article

The article has a lot of speculation from Russo. It reads more like an opinion piece than his normal hockey reporting articles. There is a lot of fluff in it too.

This is even the opening line:

First, to be fair, we don’t know what’s going on yet with Jared Spurgeon.

If it IS the same injury, then he needs to be put on LTIR. We can't afford to deal with this on and off all freaking year again.

My apologies in advance if this comes off as a stupid question....but when Wallstedt gets reassigned to Iowa, and the team knows it will be only for 1 day, does he need to physically report to the Iowa team in Des Moines, or do they just take him off the active roster and he can sit at home and watch the game on tv?

He can chill unless they're planning to play him.

Remember when Vancouver's AHL affiliate was in Utica, New York?
