Bankier was placed on waivers by the Wild on Thursday.
Bankier generated 10 goals and 10 assists in 66 regular-season games for AHL Iowa last year, but that wasn't enough for him to break into the NHL roster. Selected by the organization in the third round of the 2021 NHL Draft, the 23-year-old center is a long shot to appear in an NHL game this year.

Bankier signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Thursday, per PuckPedia.
Bankier just wrapped up his entry-level contract. He's posted 35 goals and 34 assists over three seasons (185 contests) with AHL Iowa in his professional career. The forward hasn't taken a step forward on offense in that time, which makes it unlikely he'll get his NHL debut in 2026-27.
