Wild Sign Top Prospect Faber to Entry-Level Deal

The Minnesota Wild signed Brock Faber, their top defensive prospect, to his first professional contract.
Faber was a standout at the University of Minnesota and captained the team to the Frozen Four last season.
The 22-year-old Faber is a two-time Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year known for his leadership and strong defensive play.
Faber is expected to join the Wild next season and could take on a significant role right away on their blue line.
The Wild hope Faber will fill the void left by pending free agent Matt Dumba.
