Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has signed forward Matt Boldy to a seven-year, $49 million contract ($7 million average annual value) that goes through the 2029-30 season.

Boldy, 21, has 29 points in 42 games this season. This is Boldy's second season in Minnesota the 6'2 forward gas 68 points in 89 career games. Boldy is in the final year of his entry-level contract. Boldy was selected 12th overall by the Wild in the 2019 NHL Draft.

This contract will continue to complicate the Minnesota Wild's salary cap situation for next season as they continue to manage nearly $15,000,000 in dead cap space.
