Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:48:04 GMT

The biggest task of the offseason is finally complete for the Wild. They agreed to terms with Filip Gustavsson on Monday, keeping the goaltender in Minnesota on a 3-year, $11.25 million contract with average annual value of $3.75 million.This agreement helps the Wild avoid an arbitration hearing with the 25-year-old Gustavsson, which was scheduled for later this week. It seemed things were heading in that direction with general manager Bill Guerin previously unable to work out a deal with Gustavsson’s representation.In the end, though, both sides came to a compromise, and the Wild will head into next season with Gustavsson and future hall of famer Marc-Andre Fleury.The new contract is a nice reward for Gustavsson after he posted a 22-9-7 record last season to go along with a 2.10 goals against average and .931 save percentage.

ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Cardinals completed two trades on Sunday with the future in mind, moving pending free agent pitchers Jordan Montgomery, Chris Stratton and Jordan Hicks for a load of prospects. Montgomery and Stratton have joined the Texas Rangers. Hicks has joined the Toronto Blue Jays. And in return, the Cardinals added five new players. The haul includes four pitchers and one infielder.

The back-burning tactic is intended to deny approaching flames fuel so that the fire eventually can be contained. It grew by more than 300 acres over the weekend, according to the latest aerial infrared mapping.“In places where we can’t safely insert firefighters, we are backing off – areas where heavy trees have come down,” said Rick Barton, spokesman for the interagency team of 419 firefighters tasked with suppressing the fire.“You will see increased acreage in the...
