Matt Hackett Re-Signs
The Minnesota Wild have re-signed goaltender Matt Hackett to a one year, $1 million contract. The contract is a one-way deal.
"We're very excited for Matthew. We believe he can be a starting goaltender in the NHL, and he'll be splitting time with Josh Harding next year."
Yes, fellow GM's, that means that Niklas Backstrom will head to Unrestricted Free Agency.
