Filip Gustavsson signs a 5-year, $34 million extension with the Minnesota Wild. The deal solidifies Gustavsson as the Wild’s starting goaltender through 2031. His .914 save percentage over the last three seasons ranks third in the NHL, tied with Ilya Sorokin and behind only Linus Ullmark and Connor Hellebuyck.
Seth Toupal breaks down Gustavsson’s stats, comparing him to other top NHL netminders. The $6.8 million AAV places Gustavsson 11th among goalies, below Jake Oettinger and Thatcher Demko. What does this mean for prospect Jesper Wallstedt’s future? Toupal examines the Wild’s goaltending situation, drawing parallels to the Bruins’ Ullmark-Swayman tandem.
Will Gustavsson’s extension impact Kirill Kaprizov’s future with the Wild? Get the full analysis on Gustavsson’s new deal and its implications for Minnesota’s roster in this must-listen episode.

Good signing. Anywhere in the $6M range is a win for the Wild. I was worried it was going to be an overpayment somewhere over $8M.
Travis do the wild have any buyouts left
Perfect contract
Otter is going into yr 1 of an 8×8 too, #InGuerinWeTrust
absolute steal for gus bus! especially with cap rising, id gladly pay that price. our young players have looked tremendous so far, yurov, jiricek, ohgren, buium, cant wait for this szn! boldy has looked amazing and trenin looks much better too.
A lot of roster and cap flexibility
Look at how many cornerstone pieces are signed long term. Kirill, boldy, ek, faber, Gustavsson, thats 1 hell of a core
Good signing by Wild
Solid signing. It will be fun to sit back and watch while everyone else has to navigate the market until an equilibrium is established .
The contract is good but I still think it's a big mistake not getting a look at Jesper before u had to pay Gus.
Crazy to pay that much for a player who only has 1 goal. 🙈☺️🤣🙊
