By Bryan Reynolds -
Nystrom did not have a great year last year, but certainly seemed dedicated and motivated for this season. This is an interesting move by the Wild, if they do in fact send him to Houston. This will be the first time the Wild (if I recall correctly) have sent a one-way contract to the AHL. Remember, they have to pay him the $1.4 million even in Houston.
Update: Players to play in Houston on One way deals: Darby Hendrickson, Andrei Nasarov, Jason Marshall, Jamie McLennan and Mattias Weinhandl. Thank you to Ryan Stanzel and Andrew Ferraro for the intel.
As HW's Bruce Ciskie noted on Twitter:
It is certainly a numbers game, but you would think the vet had the edge in the competition. Here's hoping Nystrom finds a taker. He deserves to be on an NHL squad.
