Wild sign Read to 1-year, 2-way contract

The Minnesota Wild have signed unrestricted free agent Matt Read to a one-year, two-way contract, the team announced Monday. The deal is worth $650,000 at the NHL level.

The 32-year-old has played 437 games over seven seasons with Philadelphia, tallying 87 goals and 187 points. Last season, Read split time with AHL affiliate Lehigh Valley, netting 16 points in 33 games.

Read was undrafted out of Bemidji State University when he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Flyers in 2011. The 5-foot-10 winger made the roster after tryouts and netted 24 goals, finishing fourth in Calder Trophy votes in his rookie season.

The Ilderton, Ontario native became an unrestricted free agent this summer at the end of his four-year, $14.5-million extension.
