Minnesota Wild extend Matt Boldy

The Minnesota Wild signed forward Matt Boldy to a seven-year, $49 million contract that goes through the 2029-30 season.

The Wild selected Boldy No. 12 overall in the 2019 draft. He was scheduled to become a restricted free agent after the 2022-23 season.

“I love it here,” Boldy said Monday. “I think from the moment I got here, just the group we have, the guys in the locker room, the management, the coaching, it’s a good place to be. And ever since I’ve been here, I’ve loved it. So it was a pretty easy decision for me.”
