Wild sign Ryan Hartman to 3-year, $5.1M contract extension
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – The Minnesota Wild signed forward Ryan Hartman to a three-year, $5.1 million contract extension Thursday night. Hartman was eligible to become a restricted free agent with arbitration rights this summer. The deal with an average annual value of $1.7 million will give him the most stability he’s had in his NHL
career, on his fourth team at age 26. In his second season with the Wild, Hartman has six goals, 12 assists, and 25 penalty minutes in 40 games. He began as primarily a fourth-line wing but lately has been centering the second line next to standout Kevin Fiala. Hartman has 57 goals, 70 assists, and a plus-16 rating in 354 career NHL games. After moving from Chicago to Nashville to Philadelphia, he signed with Minnesota as a free agent two years ago.
