Marat Khusnutdinov To Join Wild As Soon As Possible
10 months agoMinnesota Wild forward prospect Marat Khusnutdinov will join the team as soon as possible after signing a two-year, entry-level contract on Wednesday, according to Wild general manager Bill Guerin. Visa processing will be the holdup in Khusnutdinov making his move overseas. "I think that Marat is the type of player that can help us right now," Guerin said. "All the assets that he has, he's a solid two-way player. He's got speed, he's tenacious. Those are the things we're looking for." The 21-year-old went without a point in six games with the KHL's St. Petersburg SKA before being traded to Sochi HC where he has rebounded with six goals and 20 points across 49 games while serving as the team's captain. The Wild drafted Khusnutdinov with the 37th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.
