Depth Moves Continue for Wild

In another move to build a roster in Houston, and to add depth to the organization, the Wild have signed forward Duncan Milroy. Milroy played last season in Germany playing in 49 games with 14 goals and 34 assists. His last action in the US was in 2007-08 for the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL. He played 79 games, scoring 15 goals and adding 24 assists. He has only five NHL games to his credit, back in the 2006-07 campaign with the Canadiens.

The Wild have also signed forward Jon DiSalvatore, who also has five NHL games on his resume, though his were with the Saint Louis Blues back in 2005-06. He played 76 games for the Lowell Devils of the AHL last season, contributing an impressive 20 goals and 33 assists. He is 28 years old, and has six seasons under his belt in the AHL.

Both contracts are one year, two-way deals.

He won the AHL’s award for Community Service a couple years back, and I think he was Hamilton’s captain one year. Good guy, just couldn’t make it.

Hockey blogging can't get any flatter.

Milroy did?

Sounds like a stand up guy.

While these moves are good for the AHL team I think the Wild are still very short on offense and to make a few more moves or suffer as a offensively starved team.
