"The Wild announced the Nate Prosser deal this morning. The rookie defenseman gets a two-year, one-way deal worth $1.65 million. That's an $825,000 salary cap hit starting next year.

Prosser, 25, has six assists this season in 23 games with the Wild. He's been back and forth between the NHL and the AHL's Houston Aeros this season because he doesn't have to clear waivers to be sent down. The team is 14-7-2 when he is in the lineup."
