Wild Sign Nico Sturm To Two-Year Deal

July 1, 2025 at 3:10 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain 3 Comments

3:10 p.m.: It’s a two-year deal for Sturm at $2MM per season, the team announced.

11:45 a.m.: According to Michael Russo of The Athletic, the Minnesota Wild are closing in on a reunion with free agent center Nico Sturm. The seven-year veteran recently won the second Stanley Cup championship of his career with the Florida Panthers.

The last time Sturm played for the Wild was back in 2021-22. Minnesota traded him to the Colorado Avalanche during that year’s trade deadline, allowing him to win the first Stanley Cup championship of his career. Shortly thereafter, Sturm signed a three-year contract with the San Jose Sharks, only to take a similar path with the Panthers at last year’s deadline.

Throughout his previous four tenures in Minnesota, of which only two he spent most of his time in the NHL, Sturm scored 20 goals and 36 points in 111 contests with a +7 rating. Additionally, he was a net positive in the faceoff dot, securing a 51.3% success rate in over 500 draws.

He’ll likely return to a fourth-line role with the Wild, especially after the team jettisoned Frédérick Gaudreau to the Seattle Kraken a few days ago. Sturm won’t bring as much offense to Minnesota’s bottom-six as Gaudreau, but he’s as defensively sound. Unlike several of his peers in Minnesota, Sturm has Stanley Cup experience, which is significant for an organization that has never reached the finals.
