MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -On the day Marian Gaborik left Minnesota for good, the Wild signed free-agent right wing Martin Havlat to fill the big hole in their lineup
The Wild signed Havlat, Chicago’s leading scorer last season with 77 points, to a six-year contract late Wednesday night. Gaborik signed earlier with the New York Rangers, leaving the Wild for a five-year, $37.5 million deal.
Havlat became expendable in Chicago when the Blackhawks signed Marian Hossa away from Detroit with a 12-year, $62.8 million contract.
Havlat had 29 goals and 48 assists in 81 regular-season games last season and added five goals and 10 assists in 16 playoff games.
