ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild signed forward Vinni Lettieri to a two-year, two-way contract. The deal brings the grandson of hockey great Lou Nanne back to his home state. The 28-year-old Lettieri will make $750,000 in the NHL and $550,000 in the AHL. He spent most of last season with Boston's minor-league affiliate. He had 23 goals and 26 assists in 48 games for Providence. The native of Excelsior, Minnesota, can play center or wing. Lettieri originally signed with the New York Rangers as an undrafted free agent before latching on with Anaheim. Lettieri played four years of college hockey at Minnesota.
