The Minnesota Wild have signed Ryan Hartman to a three-year extension with a $4 million AAV. After scoring an outlier 34 goals and 65 points in 2021-22, Hartman fell to just 15 goals and 37 points in 59 games last season.

Just days after agreeing to a new contract with Trevor Zegras, the Ducks have signed Jamie Drysdale to a three-year contract worth $6.9 million. Drysdale missed all but eight games last season because of a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He’s a potential deep sleeper in fantasy drafts because of his offensive upside and [...]
