Minnesota Wild Sign Mikael Granlund and Ryan Carter

A quick recap of two more of the Wild's signings today.

The Minnesota Wild announced that they have signed Center Mikael Granlund, as well as Center/Wing Ryan Carter.

Mikael Granlund, 2 Years, $6 Million

After a disappointing season wherein he sustained a wrist injury and his scoring regressed, Restricted Free Agent Granlund wasn't in line for quite the payday he would've liked. At the other side of the negotiating table, the Wild were nervous about committing long-term dollars to a player who hasn't proven he can stay healthy or give First Line Center™ production.

Given the desires of both Granlund and the Wild, it makes sense that they came to an agreement on a short-term deal.
