Lots of tidbits including Duhaime v. Fleury, a short discussion of FanDuel (the Wild have contingencies in place), Brackett's thoughts on the Hughes deal, and this:
Why Jones was recalled
Ben Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa before the holiday roster freeze Friday and recalled two days later. Fans were curious Sunday why the Wild would recall the center only to not play him against the Avs, with Tyler Pitlick already on the roster as an extra forward.
The answer is simple: a classy gesture.
Jones had been on the roster from Oct. 14 through Dec. 19, so in the organization’s mind, he’s a full-fledged Minnesota Wild player, and they felt he should be part of the team’s holiday party on Monday.
Barring any injuries on Tuesday against Nashville, Jones could be reassigned after the game.
