From Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
Agent Ben Hankinson confirmed a report on Minnesota Hockey Journal that defenseman Sean Hill is close to signing with a team in Switzerland.
Hankinson said Hill’s No. 1 option is to play in the NHL and he has some options, but not the right fit yet to risk not having a job in October.

Hill was in and out of the line up last season and is not the defenseman he once was. He has clearly lost a step and his offensive game isn’t much of a factor, so this move shouldn’t really affect the Wild.
