The Wild are hoping that Brad Staubitz will clear re-entry waivers so they can bring him back to play in Minnesota. Roster roulette this time of the year is very common. The Wild needed to make a few spots and had to move some bodies around to accommodate the players received in the Marek Zidlicky trade so Staubitz was placed on waivers. Now that that's done with, there is room to bring back Staubitz should he clear waivers a second time.

Brad Staubitz has been placed on re-entry waivers by the Minnesota Wild. Staubitz has no points, a minus-seven rating, and 73 penalty minutes in 43 games. He already cleared regular waivers on Feb. 11, but if anyone claims him now, they would only be responsible for half his salary and cap hit.

The Minnesota Wild and Edmonton Oilers meet again on Wednesday and there should be some fisticuffs between Brad Staubitz and Darcy Hordichuk if both are in the lineup. Hordichuk goaded Staubitz into a pair of double minors in the first period and the Oilers had one power play goal as a result, giving them a 2-0 lead. Staubitz wanted to fight Hordichuk but the Oiler forward was tired as he was at the end of a shift. Look for both to go at it Wednesday at or near the beginning of a shift.
