Kunin is in the mix for a final spot on the Wild roster, Michael Russo of TheAthletic.com reports

EDGE Analysis

He's likely battling Joel Eriksson Ek for the final roster spot. Kunin played in the first preseason games and has just two shots on goal and no points. It would be a surprise if Kunin began the season in the NHL, as he likely needs some more experience in the AHL after playing college hockey last year. Kunin scored five goals with two assists in 12 games in the AHL last year after playing for the University of Wisconsin. The 15th overall pick in the 2016 draft could be an impact player when he reaches the NHL.
