It may come off as a minor signing as the Minnesota Wild are looking as if they’re going to be pushing the cap limit with Granlund and Foligno yet to sign, but if you’re in Des Moines or just excited about Minnesota’s depth as an organization, this is one of my favorite signings of the off-season.
He comes with a whirlwind of a junior career, one where he was a featured point scorer on the Victoria Royals (WHL), though it was a team that hasn’t made it out of the second round of the post-season since their inaugural 2011/12 season.
