Friday, Mattias Weinhandl actually lost his job.

The out-of-favor winger was informed before practice that he had been placed on waivers to make room for Demitra, who might play for the first time in nine games tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks.

If Weinhandl, who has two points in 12 games, isn't claimed by one of 29 other teams by 11 a.m. today, he'll be assigned to AHL Houston. While his $800,000 salary will still be on the books, the Wild, which is $40,000 from the $44 million salary cap, will free up some cap room.

"Basically, what I'm saying is the value is zero now, so pick him up if you want him," General Manager Doug Risebrough said.

Weinhandl opted to practice Friday.

"I want to get some minutes. That's why I'm here, to play hockey," said Weinhandl, who averaged 6 minutes, 27 seconds a game and was scratched 13 times.

Asked if he'd report to the minors or return to Sweden if he isn't claimed, Weinhandl said: "No clue. I have some decisions to make."
