Minnesota’s list of players leaving for the pros after their junior season has reached five after forward Erik Haula<\/a> and defenseman Mark Alt<\/a> signed contracts.<\/p>\n

Haula signed with the Minnesota Wild and is expected to finish the season with Houston of the AHL. He was a seventh-round pick by the Wild in 2009.<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia Flyers signed Alt, who was drafted by Carolina in the second round in 2010 and whose rights went to Philadelphia in a trade earlier this season.<\/p>\n

Forwards Nick Bjugstad (Florida) and Zach Budish (Nashville) and defenseman Nate Schmidt (Washington) also gave up their senior seasons to sign pro deals.<\/p>\n

Haula averaged more than a point per game for the Gophers, with 124 points in 114 career games. He led the team this season with 51 points and was second with 16 goals.<\/p>\n

Alt was plus-19 this season for Minnesota, which led the WCHA in defense. He had seven assists in 39 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
