Overview
- The Wild signed Bobby Brink on Tuesday, June 30, to a one-year contract worth $2.75 million, the club announced.
- Minnesota declined to tender a qualifying offer earlier in the offseason to avoid a projected arbitration award near $4 million and then negotiated the lower one-year deal.
- The contract carries no bonuses, uses one restricted-free-agent year, and will occupy roughly 2.64% of the Wild’s 2026–27 salary cap space.
- Brink, a 2019 second-round pick who was acquired from Philadelphia at the trade deadline, scored 30 points (15 goals, 15 assists) and posted 104 shots in 68 regular-season games and added one assist in four playoff games.
- The signing keeps a young, offensively skilled winger in Minnesota while freeing cap room for other roster moves as the club weighs extensions and signings for several pending UFAs and RFAs.
