Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:39:57 GMT

The biggest task of the offseason is finally complete for the Wild. They agreed to terms with Filip Gustavsson on Monday, keeping the goaltender in Minnesota on a 3-year, $11.25 million contract with average annual value of $3.75 million.This agreement helps the Wild avoid an arbitration hearing with the 25-year-old Gustavsson, which was scheduled for later this week. It seemed things were heading in that direction with general manager Bill Guerin previously unable to work out a deal with Gustavsson’s representation.In the end, though, both sides came to a compromise, and the Wild will head into next season with Gustavsson and future hall of famer Marc-Andre Fleury.The new contract is a nice reward for Gustavsson after he posted a 22-9-7 record last season to go along with a 2.10 goals against average and .931 save percentage. Not bad for a guy that was content returning to his native Sweden if things didn’t work out last season.Gustavsson proved to be a pleasant surpris...
