First Aeros cut from Wild roster

The Wild looked woeful in a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues in the teams' first exhibition game of the season. Following that game, the following players were cut and assigned to the Aeros:

Forwards Jarrod Palmer, Brandon Buck and JM Daoust (pictured left) ; and goaltender Josh Tordjman.

Also, Darcy Kuemper was sent back to the Western Hockey League. Kuemper filled in nicely for the Aeros late last season and has been part of a few trade rumors. I say there is a 50-50 shot right now that he will see time with the Aeros in the next 2-3 years.

The Aeros still start training camp Monday and host the Rampage on Saturday, Oct. 1, in the teams' first preseason game.
