Recent Wild trade acquisition chooses to play in the KHL next season

Chase Priskie’s time in the Minnesota Wild organization was brief and unspectacular. The 29-year-old was acquired on the second day of the draft in a deal with the Washington Capitals that sent Declan Chisholm and the 180th pick eastward for Priskie and the 123rd pick, which Minnesota used to draft Carter Klippenstein. Priskie was an unrestricted free agent, and after not receiving a suitable offer in the NHL has decided to sign with Sibir Novosibirsk in the KHL.

It was always a bit unlikely that the Wild were going to sign Priskie, but it is somewhat surprising that he wasn’t able to land at least a two-contract with a NHL team.
