Minnesota Wild Recall Dakota Mermis

February 22, 2023 at 4:42 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 4 Comments

The Minnesota Wild have recalled defenseman Dakota Mermis from the AHL’s Iowa Wild under emergency conditions, the team announced Wednesday afternoon.

While the Wild appear to have seven healthy defensemen on the roster, The Athletic’s Michael Russo and Joe Smith report that Mermis’ emergency recall comes in anticipation of injury or illness-related absences. Smith notes that an unnamed defender was banged up in last night’s win against the Los Angeles Kings and that Jonas Brodin isn’t in full health. Brodin’s missed time with a lower-body injury on two separate occasions this season.

Mermis, 29, is a versatile defenseman in his third season with the Wild organization. Stationed on taxi squad duty in his first year, 2020-21, he’s since put up eight goals and 40 assists in 105 AHL games with the Iowa Wild, maintaining his status as one of their top defenders.

He made two appearances with the Wild last season, going without a point. If he does appear in a Wild uniform on this call-up, it will be his first appearance of 2022-23.

    The Wild have quite a few AHL lifers on the big roster these days.

      Like who?
      Shaw and Dewar only have a year or 2 pro under them at most.

      I only see Mermis (346 AHL games) and Gaudreau (286 AHL games) that fit that description. Hardly quite a few.

    Wild D isn’t racking up a lot of points this year. Low expectations for a guy to be the next healthy scratch.
