ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild have signed defenseman Brock Faber to an eight-year, $68 million contract extension. The deal doesn't kick in until the 2025-26 season after Faber's rookie contract expires. It comes after the 21-year-old finished second behind Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard in the Calder Trophy voting for the rookie of the year award. Faber is from Maple Grove, Minnesota. He led all rookies in averaging 24 minutes and 58 seconds of ice time per game last season. Faber also finished tied for second among rookies with 47 points in 82 games.
