The Minnesota Wild have re-signed forward Caedan Bankier and defenseman David Spacek to one-year contracts. Bankier, 23, a third-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, has developed into a reliable depth forward with the Iowa Wild and aims for his first NHL opportunity. Spacek, also 23, was drafted in the fifth round of the 2022 NHL Draft and has shown offensive potential during his time in Iowa, including two NHL games last season. Both players are expected to play significant roles in Iowa as they continue their development within the Wild organization.
