The Minnesota Wild are one of the best teams in the Central Division, but had one thing hockey analysts say about them and that is how they need a good defenceman for the power play.
Today Minnesota Wild's General Manager Bill Guerin fixed that by acquiring defenceman John Klingberg from the Anaheim Ducks. The 30-year-old has 8 goals and 16 assists for 24 points in 50 games this season.
Klingberg is a pending UFA this summer, currently making $7 million. Klingberg will fill the void the Wild desperately needed to quarterback the power play and play big minutes.
There's no word of what the return is for Klingberg but if I had to guess it's most likely draft picks or a prospect to help the Ducks rebuild.
