The Dallas Stars announced Saturday the signing of center Martin Hanzal to a three-year, $14.25-million contract.
Hanzal was a trade-deadline pickup by the Wild from the Coyotes, the only team he had played for after the club drafted him 17th overall in 2005.
But he couldn't help Minnesota get out of the first round in the playoffs, scoring one goal in his first postseason action in five years during a five-game loss to the Blues.
