For Immediate Release Contacts: Aaron Sickman (651) 602-6009 Sunday, Aug. 8, 2021 Megan Kogut (651) 312-3439 MINNESOTA WILD SIGNS FORWARD WILL BITTEN TO A ONE-YEAR, TWO-WAY CONTRACT SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has signed forward Will Bitten to a one-year, two-way contract ($840,000/$75,000). Bitten, 23 (7/10/98), collected 19 points (7-12=19) in 31 games with the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League (AHL) during the 2020-21 season. The 5-foot-10, 167-pound native of Ottawa, Ontario, set a career-high four-game point streak (3-3=6) from April 30-May 9. He tied his career-best three-game goal streak (3g) from April 30-May 7 and tied his career-high three points April 3 at Texas. Four of his seven goals were the first goals of the game which led Iowa and ranked T-3rd in the AHL. The right-shot winger ranked third on the Wild in shots (77) and T-5th in goals, assists and points. He owns 69 points (28-41=69), three power-play goals (PPG), two game- winning goals (GWG), 61 penalty minutes (PIM) and 257 shots on goal in 145 career AHL games with Iowa (2018- 21). He has five assists and 14 shots in 11 AHL playoff contests (2019). Bitten collected 217 points (88-129=217), 122 PIM, 20 PPG, six GWG and three shorthanded goals in 257 career games with Plymouth, Flint and Hamilton of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in four seasons (2014-18) and won the OHL Championship in 2018 with the Bulldogs. He has represented Canada at the 2016 IIHF Under-18 World Championship and won gold with Canada at the 2016 Hlinka Memorial Tournament. Bitten was acquired by Minnesota on Oct. 3, 2018 from Montreal in exchange for Gustav Olofsson. He was drafted by the Canadiens in the third round (70th overall) of the 2016 NHL Draft.

AHL Prospect Preview 2020-21 by Jon Litterine & Steve Kournianos of Thedraftanalyst.Com
AHL Prospect Preview 2020-21 By Jon Litterine & Steve Kournianos of TheDraftAnalyst.com • Complete team-by-team coverage for all 31 AHL affiliates • 197 individual prospect profiles with personal data, transactions, draft position, and summaries • Updates on recent AHL graduates currently on NHL rosters © 2021 by TheDraftAnalyst.com. No portion of this report may be reprinted or reproduced without the express written consent of the publisher San Diego Gulls (Anaheim Ducks) Max Comtois (LW, 6’2, 215 pounds, acquired: 2nd Rd {50th overall} 2017): Comtois is the most NHL-ready prospect in the Anaheim system, having performed well a season ago with both the Ducks (11 points in 29 games) and in San Diego (24 points in 31 games). Comtois is a big body with an underrated offensive skill set. I had him pegged as more of a bottom-six type in his draft year, but his skating has improved, and his hockey sense is strong. Comtois has appeared in all 13 of Anaheim’s games through Sunday (5 goals, 1 assist) with an average of 14:09 per match. It’s safe to say Comtois is done with the AHL. Jack Kopacka (LW, 6’3, 192 pounds, acquired: 4th Rd {93rd overall} 2016): Kopacka is no longer part of the organization as he was recently traded to San Jose for older minor-league defenseman Trevor Carrick. Kopacka once stood out as a potential late bloomer due to the fact he played a depth role on some loaded Sault Ste. Marie teams back in his OHL days, but it just hasn’t clicked for him at the professional level.
