The 25-year-old avoids arbitration on the strength of a breakout 2022-2023 campaign.
On Monday, the Minnesota Wild tackled the biggest priority of their offseason by locking up goaltender Filip Gustavsson on a three-year deal worth $11.25 million.
The 25-year-old had played just 27 career NHL games by this time last year but made himself indispensable to Minnesota and GM Bill Guerin with a stellar season that saw him wrest the net from Marc-Andre Fleury down the stretch. The Swede’s strong regular season was enough to convince coach Dean Evason to give him the nod over Fleury in the first round against the Dallas Stars, and though the Wild lost in six games, Gustavsson stopped .921 percent of shots he faced in his five starts.
The Wild got the deal over the line with over $1.6 million in cap space to spare, but their financial gymnastics in the wake of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter’s buyouts are far from over.
