Minnesota Wild General Manager Chuck Fletcher today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has agreed to terms with restricted free-agent defenseman Gustav Olofsson (pronounced GOO-stahv OH-lawf-suhn) on a two-year, $1.45 million contract ($675,000 in 2017-18 and $775,000 in 2018-19 for a $725,000 average annual value).

Olofsson, 22 (12/1/94), totaled three assists and two penalty minutes (PIM) in 13 games with Minnesota in 2016-17, adding 24 points (6-18=24) and 32 PIM in 59 games with Iowa of the American Hockey League (AHL) - leading Iowa defensemen in goals, power-play goals (3) and ranking second in scoring.
