Swedish WC goalkeeper Filip Gustavsson’s future in Minnesota is said to be uncertain. Enligt The Fourth Period is the NHL club now willing to listen to offers for the goalkeeper.
The Minnesota Wild have it good at the goaltending position.
In mid-April, the club announced that veteran Marc-André Fleury extended his contract with the club for another season, at the same time that the club has Filip Gustavsson under contract until the summer of 2026. Add to that that they have one of the world’s greatest goalkeeper talents in the form of Swedish Jesper Wallstedt knocking on the NHL door.
Now that door is about to be opened for Wallstedt.
Can be traded against draft picks and talent
Enligt The Fourth Period should Minnesota be open to trading Filip Gustavsson during the summer. The site writes that it is not yet known what exchange the Wild envisions for the Swedish goalkeeper, but that it could be a package of talent and draft picks.
Gustavsson joined Minnesota via a trade from Ottawa prior to last season and had great success in his debut season with the Wild, posting a 93.1 percent save percentage and winning 22 of his 39 games with the team. This season was tougher for the Skellefteå-born goaltender, who saved 89.9 percent of the shots he faced in the 45 regular season games he played for the Wild.
Philip Gustavssons contract with Minnesota spans the next two seasons and has a salary cap hit of $3.75 million.
