Eric Staal has at least one desirable landing spot on his radar.
The unrestricted free agent has spoken to the Minnesota Wild, with both sides seeing potential for a fit.
"There's mutual interest and consideration that there is a fit with Minnesota," Staal's agent, Rick Curran, told Michael Russo of the Star Tribune. "We've had conversation and I would also suggest Eric was extremely impressed."
The 31-year-old recently said he feels he has "a lot of miles left" but would likely be in line for a short-term, team-friendly deal with the Wild, who have limited cap space.
That his point production is in decline will also affect his ability to secure term and big dollars as a free agent.
