Nino Niederreiter has re-signed with the Minnesota Wild, with a 5-year contract worth $5.25 million annually. The Swiss winger had his career best season in 16-17 with 25 goals and 57 points, and it was his 3rd season in a row where he hit the 20-goal-margin. Niederreiter had filed for arbitration and was slated to have a hearing on Thursday (August 3rd) but a contract being settled on before the hearing was something Minnesota was hoping to accomplish.
Niederreiter arrived in Minnesota for the 2013-14 season following a trade from the New York Islanders, who selected him 5th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
