Nico Sturm News: Returning to State of Hockey

Published on July 1, 2025

Sturm agreed to terms on a two-year, $4 million contract with Minnesota on Tuesday.

Sturm rejoins the Wild following his trade to Colorado back in March of 2022. Since his previous stint with the club, the 30-year-old German has won a pair of Stanley Cups, including this past season with the Panthers. Sturm will give the team some much-needed depth, likely in a bottom-six role.
