Finnish goalie Filip Lindberg, who helped Massachusetts to the NCAA Division 1 men’s hockey title this season, is leaving the college ranks for the pros. But it’s looking like it might not be with the Minnesota Wild, the team that selected him in the seventh round of the 2019 NHL Draft.
Michael Russo of The Athletic reported on Wednesday that Lindberg has not reached an agreement with the Wild yet and could instead be a NHL free agent this summer and sign with any team that he can reach a deal with.
