Filip Ruzicka - Secures entry-level deal Ruzicka signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Wild on Monday, PuckPedia reports.

Impact Less than a month after being selected with the 137th overall pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, Ruzicka and the Wild have agreed on the terms for an entry-level deal. The 6-foot-7 netminder spent the 2025-26 season with the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL, where he posted a 26-14-1 record, a 3.19 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 42 appearances. The towering 18-year-old backstop is raw as a prospect, but he'll have plenty of time to develop between Mountfield in Czechia and the WHL this season. He's an intriguing prospect and should factor into Minnesota's organizational depth on the back end of his three-year contract.

Carson Lambos - Inks two-way contract Lambos signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Friday.

Impact Lambos made his NHL debut last season by making a lone appearance for Minnesota, and he'll remain with the organization for the 2026-27 campaign. Across 70 regular-season appearances with AHL Iowa last year, he recorded eight goals, 11 assists and 48 PIM.

JULY 10 • ROTOWIRE

David Spacek - Inks one-year contract Spacek signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Thursday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Spacek had seven goals and 36 points in 59 regular-season appearances with AHL Iowa in 2025-26. He also appeared in two regular-season outings with Minnesota last campaign, recording no points, no shots, one hit and two blocks. The 23-year-old defenseman will get a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him start the upcoming season in the minors.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Caedan Bankier - Signs one-year deal Bankier signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Thursday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Bankier just wrapped up his entry-level contract. He's posted 35 goals and 34 assists over three seasons (185 contests) with AHL Iowa in his professional career. The forward hasn't taken a step forward on offense in that time, which makes it unlikely he'll get his NHL debut in 2026-27.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Roman Schmidt - Inks one-year deal Schmidt signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Schmidt split last season between three AHL clubs, totaling just three assists over 49 regular-season contests. He had two assists in 19 games for AHL Iowa, and clearly the organization saw enough to keep him around for another year. Expect the blueliner to spend most or all of 2026-27 in the minors again.

Daemon Hunt - Lands one-year agreement Hunt signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Minnesota on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hunt contributed six assists, 19 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and 21 hits in 32 regular-season appearances with Minnesota in 2025-26. He will be in the mix for a depth role with the big club during training camp.

Max Shabanov - Signs one-year pact Shabanov inked a one-year, $1.6 million contract with Minnesota on Thursday.

Impact Shabanov played in just 44 regular-season games due to injury, recording five goals and 13 assists, including five power-play points. If the 25-year-old winger can stay healthy, he should be capable of pushing for the 40-point threshold, though he may struggle for power-play minutes given the depth of the Minnesota forward group.
