Wild Re-Sign Boogaard to Multi-Year Deal
Minnesota Wild President and General Manager Doug Risebrough today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has re-signed left wing Derek Boogaard to a multi-year contract.

“Derek’s development is a testament to his dedication, discipline and the emphasis he places on team above individual,” said Risebrough. “Through his style of play and his personality he has made himself a valued player and person in the organization.”

Boogaard, 25 (6/23/82), skated in 48 games with Minnesota in 2006-07, and collected one assist and led the team with 120 penalty minutes (PIM) for the second consecutive season. He logged a season-high 9:35 of ice time vs. Anaheim on Oct. 27, 2006 and registered an assist in his 100th career NHL game vs. Florida on Feb. 8, 2007. The 6-foot-7, 254-pound forward added one assist and led the Wild with 20 PIM in four playoff matches. The Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-native has appeared in 113 career NHL games with Minnesota and recorded seven points (2-5=7) and 278 PIM.

Boogaard was originally selected by Minnesota in the seventh round (202nd overall) of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.

Wild Re-Signs Boogaard

Got the contract offer yesterday morning. He loves it in Minnesota and this is the deal he was looking for, long term (by NHL standards).

Awesome.
Boogaard loves it in Minnesota, and he's a fan favorite there, so he needed to stay. I knew he wasn't going to leave, so it's good that they finally locked him up. He's the most entertaining fighter in the league IMO. So once again Minnesota should be a feared team with Boogy!

Suck it Philly!

Good to see Derek coming back - long term. Now, we just have to wait for a side kick to step up - and this team will be set.

Yet, another team recognizing the need for an enforcer! A ton of players that were available. Many of them fighters. I just can't seem to process this without having a seizure!
