The Minnesota Wild and Ryan Hartman working on an extension
Michael Russo: At the beginning of training camp Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman said that GM Bill Guerin met with him, Marcus Foligno and Mats Zuccarello to discuss their futures with the team. All three said they wanted to stay. Foligno and Zuccarello have re-signed and the Wild and Hartman are working on a deal.
Hartman: “I hope we can get it figured out pretty quickly. Obviously, Billy was dealing with multiple things at once, and I think getting 2 at once was pretty good with your time. I know they’ve been in talks. I haven’t circled back with my agent in last few days.”
….
“Pretty much when (my agent) calls me, we’ll talk. It could be today, it could be a week from now. I’m not really thinking about it at all. I’ve got a hockey season to play but hopefully, we can get this done sooner rather than later.”
