For immediate release

The Wild are pleased to announce the acquisition of dman Mike Rathje.

Rathje arrives to the Twin Cities via a deal with the Hurricanes that sees prospect Andy Greene and forward Richard Park head to Carolina.

GM Grant commented.

"We are hoping Mike can solidify our final pairing and also help our PK which has been awful. Our team isn't clicking this year and I think part of the reason is we are a little too young. Hopefully bringing in an experienced guy like Mike will help.

Andy was a kid we scouted and signed 1.5 years ago and we like him a lot. But we have 2 or 3 kids down there that we think will be ready next season so we feel we could afford to give him up"
