Justin Kirkland News: Snags one-year deal

Kirkland inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Kirkland is far from a lock to make the team coming out of training camp and could spend much of the year in the minors with AHL Iowa. Still, the 29-year-old winger is a decent depth piece who figures to be atop the list of potential call-ups when the need arises.
