The Minnesota Wild are now in line to have a three goalie system or just dual back-ups behind Niklas Backstrom, as they have re-signed Josh Harding to a new 1-year deal, worth $1.1 million. Harding, a restricted free agent this summer, is thought to be the odd-man out of the trio, along with Wade Dubielewicz, who signed on as an unrestricted free agent in this off-season.Harding was to have his arbitration hearing this week, but has avoided that confrontational meeting by signing a brand new deal.
Last season, Harding went 3-9-1 in the season, earning himself 6 pool points. His GAA and Save Percentage has been good over the past few years, leading people to believe that he's becoming a candidate for a starting job on some other NHL team. Look for Harding to be trade bait this season.
