Going Wild

The Minnesota Wild have signed linger martin Havlat to a 6 year, $30 Million dollar contract.

Last season Havlat played a complete season for the first time in his career. In 81 games, Havlat scored 77 points and was a plus 29 rating. The dynamically talented Havlat meshed well with the young and talented Blackhawks and elevated his game in his contract year.

Fantasy Outlook: Faithful owners of Havlat should be pleased that he was able to play a full season and was close to a point per game pace. Look for Havlat to be a major contributor on the Wild’s top line and powerplay unit. His stats may take a step back due to the fact he is now secure with a new contract and will have to elevate his game with the lack of overall talent in Minnesota. Havlat is always an injury risk because of his history. Owners should consider him once the elite superstars have been selected in your draft.
