Minnesota Wild: Eric Staal Looks for Resurgence

Staal was signed to a 3 year $10.5 million contract on the first day of free agency and is looking to reinvigorate a once stellar career that has flagged over the past few seasons. The former Carolina Hurricane’s captain joins a long list of former top goal scorers who have come to Minnesota looking for a resurgence. The former 100 point scorer will hopefully avoid going the way of Dany Heatley and Thomas Vanek. Both struggled to reignite their offensive touch during their time in Minnesota. So far it seems he may be able to buck this trend.
