Minnesota Wild Secure Brock Faber with Eight-Year, $68 Million Extension

The standout rookie defenseman becomes the longest-signed player on the team, with the new contract starting in the 2025-26 season.

Faber's extension follows an impressive rookie season where he logged the most ice time for a rookie since 2000-01.
The 21-year-old defenseman finished second in Calder Trophy voting for NHL's top rookie.
He led all rookies in assists and blocked shots, showcasing both offensive and defensive prowess.
Faber's new contract includes a no-movement clause and a 15-team no-trade list for the final three seasons.
The extension aligns with the Wild's strategy to build around young talent as they gain more salary cap flexibility next year.
