The Minnesota Wild and restricted free agent Brandon Duhaime avoided arbitration and agreed on a one-year, $1.1-million contract, the team announced.

Duhaime's arbitration hearing was scheduled for July 20. His previous deal paid him $750,000 annually over the past two seasons.

The 26-year-old posted 10 points in 51 games this past season and averaged 10:45 per contest. Duhaime was a fourth-round pick of the Wild in 2016, and he broke into the NHL during the 2021-22 campaign.

The Wild are left with approximately $7 million in cap space to sign fellow RFAs Filip Gustavsson and Calen Addison after Duhaime's new deal, according to Cap Friendly.
