US EditionWild Acquire Veteran D Jeff Petry From Panthers
Veteran defenseman Jeff Petry, 38, joins Minnesota Wild to add depth as an unrestricted free agent; conditional draft pick compensation depends on playoff performance.
- On Thursday the Minnesota Wild acquired veteran defenseman Jeff Petry from the Florida Panthers for a conditional 2026 seventh-round draft pick, adding depth behind Jonas Brodin and Jared Spurgeon.
- With the Panthers weakened by injuries, Minnesota used $11.252 million in cap space, per PuckPedia, to pursue reinforcements as Florida sells assets with a 30-28-3 record and 21 games remaining.
- A 16-season NHL veteran, Petry has amassed 393 points and played his 1,000th game on Nov. 17, reflecting extensive experience.
- Expect Petry to join the Wild for their Friday night game in Las Vegas, and the seventh-round pick will upgrade to a fifth-rounder if the Wild win two playoff rounds and Petry plays in 50% or more of those games.
- The Wild remain in a tight division race—nine points behind Colorado and three behind Dallas—and are linked to potential deadline moves including Vinny Trocheck, as of Thursday.
