The Minnesota Wild have approximately $13 million in cap space during NHL Free Agency and are considering signing Nico Sturm, a former player with the team. Sturm, who is 30, was undrafted and played four seasons with the Wild before winning consecutive Stanley Cups with the Avalanche and Panthers. In the last season, he played 62 games with 14 points and has a strong face-off percentage. As a fourth line center, he fits the Wild's needs, while also retaining connections to Minnesota by spending summers there.
Nico Sturm, who recorded 20 goals and 36 points in 111 games with the Wild, has a career face-off percentage of 56.6 in 331 NHL games.
Minnesota Wild needs a fourth line center, and Sturm could be a perfect fit given his ability to win face-offs and kill penalties.
