The Minnesota Wild signed forward Matt Boldy to a three-year, entry-level contract starting this season, the club announced.
Boldy will report directly to the AHL's Iowa Wild to begin his professional career.
The Wild selected the 19-year-old with the 12th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. He tallied 11 goals and 20 assists in 22 games with Boston College this season. Boldy was recently named a top-10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Award.
Boldy played a pivotal role on the gold medal-winning American squad at the 2021 world juniors, finishing tied for the team-lead with five goals while adding two assists in seven games.
