Eriksson-Ek is likely to make the Wild's final NHL roster with Zac Dalpe put on waivers, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's still possible the Wild may only keep him on the roster for the first nine games as they can do so without burning the first year of his three-year contract. If he doesn't make the NHL roster, the Wild have said he'll return to his team in Sweden. He's had a strong preseason, so it also wouldn't be surprising if he stays at the NHL level all season.
