Wild's Daemon Hunt: Snagged off wire

Hunt was picked up off waivers by the Wild on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Hunt has appeared in 13 regular-season NHL games in his career, all for Minnesota, as he returns to the team that selected him in the third round of the 2020 NHL Draft. The acquisition of Hunt from waivers doesn't bode well for Jack Johnson turning his professional tryout into a permanent NHL contract.
