The Minnesota Wild are adding another defenseman to their blue-line prospect pool. They are close to signing 2021 second-round pick Jack Peart to his three-year entry-level contract, multiple league sources said Monday. The deal would start in the 2024-25 season, but he is expected to sign an amateur tryout to play for Iowa for the rest of the season. He’ll report to Des Moines as early as Tuesday.
Peart will likely start in AHL Iowa next season as well and will join a prospect pool that includes Daemon Hunt, Carson Lambos, Ryan O’Rourke, David Spacek and Kyle Masters.
The expected Peart signing comes days after the Wild also signed prospects Riley Heidt and Rasmus Kumpalainen. As The Athletic suggested a few weeks ago, it sounding like the Wild don’t plan to sign 2022 sixth-round pick Servac Petrovsky by the June 1 deadline.

Our blue line is gonna be sick in a few years
Glad to hear. Gopher fan but glad he didn’t betray us like Ben *shakes fist*
Lets just hope these guys turn out good, I think they made good progress this season from where they started, I think people are just wanting them to rush pretty fast.
