The Wild have reassigned Keranen to AHL Iowa.
Keranen had a very impressive camp and should get a shot at a few games this year when injuries start to pop up. For now, he'll bide his time in the AHL. He could be an interesting sleeper play if he gets the call up and a little power play time though.

Keranen is making an increasingly interesting case for his inclusion on the Wild's roster. He's a longshot, but is a standout and should see a game or two in the NHL this season.
