Wild Re-Sign Niklas Backstrom
From StarTribune.com

The Wild has signed Niklas Backstrom to a four-year deal worth $24 million. According to a source, there’s a conditional no-trade clause that’s at least two years and continues as long there are certain statistics in terms of games and/or minutes prove he’s still the Wild’s No. 1 goalie.
The signing ends all speculation that Backstrom will be traded before Wednesday’s 2 p.m. CT trade deadline. However, this puts Josh Harding’s Wild career in a state of flux. Remember, soon after Manny Fernandez was inked to a three-year extension three years ago, Dwayne Roloson was dealt to Edmonton.
