Effectively, the Wild completed their offseason check list on Tuesday afternoon, doling out a 1-year, $1 million contract to defenseman Declan Chisholm.

After getting through free agency last week, Chisholm, 24, became the priority for general manager Bill Guerin. He flashed his potential last season after the Wild claimed him off waivers, showcasing some offensive upside on the blue line, while averaging 16 minutes, 52 seconds of ice time. He will likely start this season on the bottom pairing with the ability to move up in a pinch.

In other news, the Wild also re-signed winger Adam Raska to a 1-year, 2-way contract that pays him $775,000 in the NHL and $97,500 in the AHL. He provides some bite that can be used wherever he ends up playing for the Wild. He was acquired in the early stages of last season via a trade with the San Jose Sharks.

Though the Wild could still make a trade at some point over the next couple of months, they are more or less out of cap space, meaning they can’t sign any impact players without cutting costs elsewhere.
