Goalies can be strange and so can their contract situations. Case in point, Jesper Wallstedt<\/a>\u2019s contract with the Minnesota Wild<\/a>. Rarely would a skater sign a $4 million deal with only three games of NHL experience. However, when you are one of the best goaltender prospects in the game, you command that type of respect. Specifically, Wallstedt<\/a> signs a two-year deal, with an average annual value of $2.2 million. Moreover, he is still under contract and waiver exempt for the 2024-25 season, on a deal paying him $925K. So, Minnesota has options and Wallstedt\u2019s abilities are a big reason why.<\/p>\n
