Shabanov Signs with Wild | Minnesota Wild News

The Minnesota Wild just pulled off a big move, signing 25-year-old forward Maxim Shabanov to a one-year, $1.6M deal for the 2026-27 season. After a breakout rookie year with the Islanders — 18 points in 44 games — Shabanov dominated the KHL, scoring 150 points in 207 games, including a third-place finish in league scoring in 2024-25. He led his team deep into the playoffs, topped the KHL in goals and plus-minus, and earned All-Star honors in back-to-back seasons. Now, he brings that elite scoring punch to Minnesota, adding serious offensive firepower as the Wild gear up for the new season.
