MINNEAPOLIS - Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin announced on Thursday the team has signed former University of Minnesota winger Sammy Walker to an entry-level contract. Walker, 23, record 112 points, including 48 goals, in four seasons with the Gophers. The Edina native had 27 points, 14 goals and 13 assists, last season as the Gophers finished 26-13 and made a run to the NCAA Frozen Four, its first since 2014. Walker was a three-year captain for Minnesota, the first time that's happened in the history of the program.
