Jiricek, who turned 21 on Thursday, was the sixth overall pick in the 2022 draft. He has one goal and 10 assists in 53 career NHL games — all with Columbus.
He was assigned by the Wild to Iowa of the American Hockey League.
Minnesota also received a fifth-round pick in the 2025 draft from Columbus in exchange for defenseman Daemon Hunt and four draft picks; the Wild's first-round pick in 2025 (top five protected), Colorado's 2026 third-round pick, Toronto's fourth-round pick in 2026 and the Wild's second-round pick in 2027.
The 22-year-old Hunt was the Wild's third-round pick in 2020. He had one assist in 13 games with Minnesota.
