In addition to the signing of former Montreal Canadian Corey Locke the Wild have secured four other players, they announced on Tuesday. RW Danny Irmen, C Bryan Lundbohm, D John Scott, & D Brandon Rogers have all officially been signed according to Wild GM Doug Riseborough.

Irmen, the 23-year-old forward, was a former Gopher and has been playing in the AHL for the past three years. Posting three decent seasons with the Aeros he is looking for a spot on the roster proper, he was a third round draft pick of the Wild’s in 2003.

Lundbohm played with Aeros from ‘05-’07, and played with a Danish team last season. At 30 it seems as though this may be his final shot at making the team. At 5′10″ the Minnesota native is not a huge forward, but word is he’s got a solid shot and a nice pair of wheels.

Scott, at 25, could be the reason the Wild felt no need to resign goons like Fedoruk and Simon for the upcoming season. in ‘07-’08 season he led the Houston Aeros with 184 PIM in 64 games, though his three goals does put Boogey’s big donut to shame. At 6′8″ 225 lbs. he’s easily one of the biggest guys in the NHL. A lack of hands and scoring ability has never been an exclusion to making the Wild though.

Rogers is the only one in the pack who is being signed to a multi-year deal. At 26 he had a career high 28 pts (4-24) last season with the Aeros. Though he doesn’t seem to be a big scorer, he seems to be more in line with a Veilleux style player, leading the Aeros with a +17 last season.

The Wild roster has got to about full now, all that is left to see, now that Development Camp is over, is who will be on the roster for the start of the season.

In the past day the Wild have made two major moves, trading defenseman Shawn Belle to the Montreal Canadians for center Corey Locke. Belle was acquired in a deal that sent Willie Mitchell and a second round draft pick to Dallas for defenseman Martin Skoula and Belle. Belle has spent his time under contract playing for the Houston Aeros, and has largely been a disappointing addition to the team, one that GM Doug Riseborough thought would be a development player who would step up to the Wild in a season or two.

Locke is a strong forward who has been a career minor leaguer. He scored 84 goals and 144 assists over the last four seasons playing for the Hamilton Bulldogs in the AHL. Prior to that he was a two time MVP in the OHL. He was also a former linemate of forward Matt Foy, who has recently signed on with St. Louis.

The wild have also acquired forward Krys Kolanos who spent last season in the AHL scoring 30 goals and 33 assists in 63 games. At 6′2″ 200 lbs. he’s a pretty big forward, with a good shot and a bit of speed. He is looking to secure a spot on the starting crew which is becoming increasingly saturated with young, capable forwards. He was only signed to a one year contract, which seems to indicate that Riseborough would like to see him playing for the Wild and not getting dropped down to the Aeros.
