Wilderness Walk: Away

It was a rough day for Wild prospects taking part in the World Juniors for Team USA as Alex Tuch injured his knee in the first period of a 10-3 debacle against Kaapo Kahkonen and Team Finland.  The next punch landed squarely on Wild #2 pick Jordan Greenway who was cut from Team USA and will pack his bags and head for Boston University in the Fall.  Joel Eriksson-Ek has tallied an assist and Louie Belpedio remains on the USA squad.

A slow day as expected in August.  Only 64 days til opening night.  We Walk.
