Porter was claimed off waivers by the Wild on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Porter was expected to pass through waivers and ultimately serve as forward depth at the AHL level for the Flyers. However, the Wild saw promise in the 31-year-old winger, who reportedly has been one of the stand out players at Flyers camp. He will now head to Minnesota, where he will likely assume a bottom-six role at the start of the 2015-16 campaign with the Wild.
