The Minnesota Wild extended Bobby Brink to a one-year, $2.75M contract, locking him down for the 2026-2027 season.
The decision came after the Wild declined to offer Brink a qualifying offer, giving them a short window to re-sign him before he could test the market.
The Wild's confidence paid off, as they secured Brink's services for another year.
Michael Russo of The Athletic first reported the deal, stating that Brink could have become a UFA but chose to re-sign with the Wild.
The move is significant for the Wild, who are looking to build a strong team for the upcoming season.
The Wild currently stand 3rd in the Western Conference with a 46-24 record, having won their last game 3-2 against the Anaheim Ducks on April 15, 2026.
Bobby Brink had 4 points in 13 games during the regular season after joining the Wild in a trade with the Flyers.
The Wild are also pursuing a trade for Dylan Larkin, with GM Bill Guerin in daily contact with Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman and Larkin's agent, Pat Brisson.
The Wild may need to involve a third team in the deal to land Larkin, who would be a key addition to their lineup.
And with Brink's extension, the Wild have secured a key player for the upcoming season.
But the team still has work to do to build a strong roster for the 2026-2027 season.
So the Wild will continue to pursue trades and signings to strengthen their team.
The official Minnesota Wild website confirmed Brink's re-signing, stating that he signed a one-year, $2,750,000 contract.
