ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild are almost done with their dead weight. They have one more summer to serve in salary cap jail. The upper limit of the 2024-25 salary cap was set at $88 million per club. The Wild carried a charge of more than $14.7 million into the beginning of free agency for buying out the contracts of stalwarts Zach Parise and Ryan Suter three years ago. No other NHL team comes close to the amount of spending limitation the Wild have. They used much of their cap space by signing center Yakov Trenin to a four-year, $14 million contract.
