That's Wild
- The Minnesota Wild have prevented any future, nasty offer sheets next summer and signed top goaltender prospect Jesper Wallstedt to a two-year, $4.4-million contract that will carry a $2.2-million AAV. The contract will start in the 2025-26 season and he will remain a restricted free agent in 2027. It's a show of confidence that hopefully he can become the Wild's starting netminder by the time that contract is done. [NHL.com]
