In a recent flurry of NHL transactions, the Calgary Flames have lost defenseman Dmitri Solovyov to the waivers, opening a significant spot in their lineup. Solovyov, who showcased his potential during the preseason, failed to secure a permanent position in Calgary but will have the opportunity to make his mark with another franchise that picks him up.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Wild have re-acquired forward Matt Hunt, bringing him back into the fold after a brief stint away. Hunt's return is expected to bolster the Wild’s offensive depth as they prepare for the upcoming season. The forward has shown glimpses of promise, and the Wild are hopeful that he can translate that into consistent performances on the ice.
As rosters start to take shape heading into the season, both teams are making strategic moves to optimize their squads. The Flames aim to counter the loss of Solovyov with effective contributions from their remaining defensemen, while the Wild look towards Hunt to add firepower to their forward group. These waiver decisions highlight the ongoing adjustments teams are making to find the right balance for a competitive season ahead.
