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.
