The Minnesota Wild have signed free agent Yakov Trenin to a four-year, $14 million contract. The 27-year-old center, who has scored 41 goals over the past three years and recorded 17 points in 76 games last season, is known for his physical defensive play and penalty-killing abilities. Trenin, who was coached by John Hynes, is expected to help the Wild improve their bottom six and bolster their penalty kill, which struggled last season. The deal carries a cap hit of $3.5 million per year and Trenin is represented by Todd Reynolds.
