The Minnesota Wild are adding a local boy.
The Wild signed collegiate defenseman Nick Seeler to a two-year, entry-level contract Saturday. The deal will begin next season.
Born in Eden Prairie, Minn., the blue-liner spent this season with the University of Minnesota, where he registered 10 points in 36 games.
The 22-year-old redshirted in 2014-15 due to NCAA transfer rules after playing two seasons with the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
The Wild made Seeler a fifth-round pick in 2011.
