The undisciplined penalties may have landed the South Carolina Native a few games on the bench in season 2022-23. However, the 29-year-old\u2019s leadership role, effectiveness on the penalty kill, and ability to play centre on the top line have earned him an extension with the hockey club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The top-liner has shown his commitment to Minnesota on more than one occasion. On Hartman\u2019s last contract, he took a $200,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2023\/08\/09\/alternate-captain-minnesota-wild\/\" target=\"_self\">pay cut to stay in the State of Hockey<\/a>. With the jump from $1.7 million AAV to $4 million AAV, the Wild have awarded Hartman\u2019s commitment to the team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hartman Will Enhance Minnesota\u2019s Post-Season Performance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minnesota&#8217;s re-signing of Ryan Hartman proves the team believes the forward will play a vital role in the heavily anticipated cup run the team hopes to have in season 2025-26. Despite suffering a knee injury and essentially playing on one leg last postseason, Hartman scored the game-winning goal in Game One, the longest game in franchise history, against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/stars\/\" target=\"_self\">Dallas Stars<\/a>. While luck left the Wild with another first-round exit after Game Six, Hartman used the series to prove he could be a playoff player for the Wild once they shed their salary cap limitations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hartman is one of three veterans Minnesota has re-signed this preseason. With Zuccarello, Foligno, and Hartman on the last year of their previous contracts this season, Guerin could have waited until March 2024 to sign the three skaters. Instead, Guerin made his faith in the forwards official immediately after beginning discussions with them during training camp. \u201c[The three of us] all had the same agreement with wanting to be here, wanting to build something here, and win a Stanely Cup here,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/wild\/video\/hartman-at-training-camp-10-1-6338203826112\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hartman reflects<\/a> on the conversations with Guerin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main photo: Matt Marton-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumour has it the Minnesota Wild are investing in veterans.
