Summary
The Minnesota Wild are betting on the future with a smart move: signing 24-year-old defenseman Daemon Hunt to a one-year, $900K deal for 2026-27. After a breakout 2025-26 season — his best yet in games played, assists, penalty minutes, and blocked shots — Hunt proves he’s ready to contribute more. Drafted from Columbus off waivers, he’s already shown grit and leadership, even captaining the Moose Jaw Warriors. With his shot-blocking and two-way play, Hunt fits perfectly as the Wild build depth and flexibility for the long haul. This is a low-risk, high-reward signing that could pay off big if he keeps improving.
