The Minnesota Wild locked up another one of their key restricted free agents on Saturday by locking up centre Pierre-Marc Bouchard to a 5-year deal worth $20.4 million.Bouchard, 24, had a career-high in points last season with 63 (13G, 50A), which made him a pretty valuable player to the Minnesota Wild. He's finally turned himself into a solid hockey pool draft pick.
His deal now gives the Wild 20 players signed on for next season at a rate of $51.6 million, which gives the team plenty of breathing space for their final three players. They have made plenty of good additions to the team this summer, which should make them a big threat in the Western Conference in the standings. They have also made a few good signings that will help some players and there pool point production. Andrew Brunette, Owen Nolan, Marek Zidlicky and Marc-Andre Bergeron all have offensive upside, so this could be a good year for some of their top offensive players.
