IIlIlIIllIlIIIlIl Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Minnesota Wild have agreed to terms on one-year, two-way contracts with free agent defencemen Jonathon Blum and Jon Landry. The team announced the deals on Friday, but the contracts pay less if the player is in the minors. The 24-year-old Blum had one goal and six assists in 35 games for Nashville last season. He was a first-round draft pick by the Predators in 2007. Over the past three years, Blum played 103 games. With Ryan Suter, Jonas Brodin, Keith Ballard, Marco Scandella, Jared Spurgeon and Clayton Stoner, the Wild have their blue line all but set. Blum, Nate Prosser and 2012 first-round draft pick Matt Dumba will also be in the mix for a roster spot. The 30-year-old Landry played in the AHL last season. http://www.startribu.../215122311.html Jon Blum @JonBlum7 23s “@Realkevinklein8: @JonBlum7 good luck in minny bud it was fun playing with you!” Gonna miss you Kevin! #planebuddies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keslerific Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Had a feeling he would sign there as he seems like a good fit for Minnesota and is cheap for their cap. He still has potential to get better and is still young, mins D looks better now with him and KB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemy Time Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 So they have their elite defenseman in Suter, and two good 2nd pairing guys in Blum and Ballard, do they have another legit top pairing guy to play with Suter yet? If not they could sign Ryan Whitney. Suter-Whitney Ballard-Blum Definitely a solid top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Ballard - Blum will be the new Ballard - Tanev without AV's doghouse as an obstacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
