by from on (#1KCPX)
Though subject to trade rumors in recent weeks, Darcy Kuemper is sticking with the Wild.
Minnesota signed the 26-year-old netminder to a one-year contract worth $1.55 million, the team announced Tuesday.
Kuemper posted a 6-7-5 record last season with a 2.43 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage while backing up Devan Dubnyk.
General manager Chuck Fletcher mentioned in June that he was hesitant about shopping a goaltender given the franchise's history of injuries between the pipes, and Kuemper will provide them with that insurance for another season.
