Wild's Daemon Hunt: Gets first helper
Hunt logged an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Hunt made his second appearance of the season, and it appears he might have some momentum to stay in the lineup over David Jiricek. The 23-year-old Hunt has added one shot on net and two hits across his two outings. Even if he stays in the lineup, he's unlikely to be a power-play option, which will limit his scoring potential.

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.

Blue Jackets' Daemon Hunt: Designated for waivers Thursday
Hunt was waived by the Blue Jackets on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Hunt's impending demotion to the minors comes as a bit of a surprise, considering there were reports he had secured his spot on the Opening Night roster. The move could still just be temporary, as the Jackets have until Oct. 9 to recall the blueliner from the minors. For now, Denton Mateychuk appears to have secured a spot on the roster ahead of Hunt.

Blue Jackets' Daemon Hunt: Lands one-year contract
Hunt signed a one-year, two-way contract with Columbus on Friday.
Hunt saw action in one NHL game last season with the Wild before he was part of a trade that sent David Jiricek to Minnesota on Nov. 30. The 23-year-old Hunt spent the rest of the regular season with AHL Cleveland, picking up two goals and 12 assists in 48 games. He could see a couple of games at the NHL level in 2025-26, especially if the Blue Jackets run into injury problems on their blue line.

Blue Jackets' Daemon Hunt: Acquired in trade
Columbus obtained Hunt, a top-five protected 2025 first-round pick, a 2026 third-round selection, a 2026 fourth-round choice and a second rounder in 2027 from Minnesota on Saturday in exchange for David Jiricek and a 2025 fifth-round pick.
Hunt has four assists in nine AHL outings this season. He also has one helper in 13 career NHL appearances. The 22-year-old defender will provide some defensive depth and could see game action with the Blue Jackets in 2024-25, but he will report to AHL Cleveland following the trade.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Sent back down
Hunt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Hunt was brought up earlier in the week, though he served as a healthy scratch in Minnesota's last two games. If Jonas Brodin (upper body) can't play in the Wild's next game Tuesday against the Blues, Hunt could be brought back up as a seventh defenseman.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Brought up from minors
Hunt was summoned from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Hunt's recall may not bode well for the availability of Jonas Brodin (undisclosed) ahead of Thursday's game against Montreal. If Brodin doesn't play Thursday, Declan Chisholm may enter the lineup, while Hunt could be a spare defender.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Returned to AHL
Hunt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Hunt logged 8:01 of ice time in his season debut versus St. Louis on Oct. 15, posting two shots on goal and blocked shots. He has one assist in two AHL outings this season. Jared Spurgeon (lower body) will return to the lineup Tuesday versus Pittsburgh, and Declan Chisholm will be the team's extra blueliner following Hunt's assignment to the minors.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Recalled by Minnesota
Hunt was recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Hunt will be the seventh defenseman Saturday in Columbus, as Jared Spurgeon is unavailable due to a lower-body injury. Jon Merrill is expected to take Spurgeon's spot in the lineup. Hunt had two shots on goal and a pair of blocked shots in Tuesday's game versus St. Louis.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Heads to minors
Hunt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday.
Hunt had two shots, one hit and two blocks in 8:01 of ice time Tuesday. Although his demotion might mean that Jared Spurgeon (lower body) won't miss additional action, it's worth remembering that Minnesota's next game isn't until Saturday, so there's plenty of time for the Wild to recall Hunt or another defenseman if Spurgeon isn't available for that contest.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Called up Monday
Hunt was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday.
Hunt was sent to the minors Friday, but he's back with the big club ahead of Tuesday's contest against St. Louis. The Wild presumably wanted depth on the blue line with Jared Spurgeon (lower body) currently day-to-day. Hunt appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Wild in 2023-24, registering an assist, seven shots, eight hits and 17 blocks.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Sent down Friday
Hunt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
Hunt was called up from the AHL ahead of Thursday's game against Columbus to serve as a seventh defenseman, and he was a healthy scratch for Minnesota's 3-2 win. He'll head back to the minors Friday, while Jesper Wallstedt was called up so the Wild can roster three goalies early in the season.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Recalled from Iowa
Hunt was recalled from AHL Iowa ahead of Thursday's tilt versus Columbus.
The Wild were in need of a seventh defenseman, as Declan Chisholm is unable to play due to an illness. Jon Merrill is expected to claim Chisholm's role on the bottom pairing, while Hunt is expected to be an extra. The Wild sent goaltender Jesper Wallstedt to the AHL in a corresponding move.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Put on waivers
Hunt was placed on waivers by the Wild on Saturday.
In the 2023-24 regular season, Hunt recorded three goals and 29 points in 51 contests with AHL Iowa. He also had an assist in 12 NHL appearances with Minnesota. The 22-year-old is expected to start the campaign in the AHL if he clears waivers, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him summoned to Minnesota at some point during the 2024-25 campaign.
