School's out forever.
That's what Luke Kunin is singing after signing his three-year, entry-level contract with the Minnesota Wild Thursday, who drafted him 15th overall in 2016.
The now former University of Wisconsin forward will report to the AHL's Iowa Wild on an amateur tryout agreement for the remainder of this season.
Kunin scored 41 goals and added 29 assists in his two seasons as a Badger, and also served as captain of Team USA at the 2017 World Junior Championship, helping his country capture a gold medal with four points in seven games.
