Happy Havlat Checks Out New Home In Minnesota

ST. PAUL (AP) ― When Chicago would no longer give him a long-term contract, Martin Havlat turned his focus to Minnesota.

The Wild's new right wing checked out his new home arena Friday afternoon, two days after signing a six-year deal worth $30 million.

Havlat spoke recently with Marian Gaborik and wished Minnesota's now-former franchise player well. Havlat says, however, he's not here to replace Gaborik.

Havlat played the last three seasons for the Blackhawks, who went to the Western Conference finals this spring. He posted some critical comments on his Twitter account toward Chicago's front office the night he signed, but on Friday Havlat declined to speak in detail about any subject other than the Wild.

Minnesota also signed defenseman Shane Hnidy.
