The Minnesota Wild have acquired Vladimir Tarasenko from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for future considerations.
Tarasenko signed a 2-year contract with the Red Wings last summer, but the fit was never quite right. The Wild will be taking on the final year of the contract and his $4.75 million cap hit.
Tarasenko, 33, had 11 goals and 22 assists in 80 games with the Red Wings last season.
