Sounds like a good chance he's starting with the Wild. Probably deserves his own thread.
Thread is off to a roaring start so far.
I imagine this will put a little extra pep in Parise's step. Kind of a meh claim, but the locker room chemistry boost a la NHL16 will prove this to be a shrewd move.
Parise found a tenant for his house!
Via waivers, how can you complain?

For a team carrying three goalies? I don't know about you but roster space is valuable.
Brett Sutter (if he's still around, I don't even remember).
An NHL roster spot is a very valuable asset. NHL minutes are very valuable.
I think Porter is a fine fringe player, not sure he's much of an upgrade on Ryan Carter.
Where other teams out west are adding fringe players like Ehlers, Fabbri, Rantanen, Panarin, and McDavid, the Wild is adding Parise's good friend, Chris Porter.
Since it seems like the team really wanted to find a slot for a player like Bulmer or Gabriel, who just aren't there as players, this move is an ok one. I think there's plenty to complain about it. He's not blocking anyone good, but he doesn't add a whole lot to the arms race in the western conference and he does contribute to the notion that Suter and Parise have more input into the team than Yeo.

But now we can finally put dumba in the ahl!
I like how on one hand, ppl say our young guys shouldn't be "gifted" roster spots, and that they shouldn't play 4th line minutes..... And yet now criticize mgmt for getting a capable 4th liner who fits the team identity for free because it's taking a roster spot.
Gotta complain about somethin I guess :/
It's our token, Eric Nystrom/Torrey Mitchell/Zenon Konopka/Darroll Powe/Ryan Carter/Mike Rupp pick up! Woot! Was wondering if Fletcher was going to do that again this year.
