Former Wild center Eric Staal is chasing his Olympic dream with no NHL players getting involved. To serve as a warm-up, he’s signing a tryout for the AHL Iowa Wild to get in game shape.
Just chatted with Eric Staal, who's en route to Iowa from his home in Minny. Plan is for him to sign an AHL PTO and play with the Iowa Wild this weekend and next week before hopefully joining the Canadian Olympic team. Nothing is set yet, but that appears to be the plan.
