Daniel Winnik still doesn’t get how the heck he went an entire offseason without being signed.
“I don’t think I’ve shown any decline at all,” the veteran winger told The Athletic after practicing with the Wild on Tuesday. “At my age, I’m not slow. It’s not like my numbers have dipped. They actually got better last year.”
Winnik, 32, who scored a career-high 12 goals last season with a 50.35 percent Corsi For with 1.24 points per 60 minutes the past two seasons, is still technically on a pro tryout with the Wild, but it’s at least his plan to sign a contract with the Wild and be in their opening night lineup Thursday night in Detroit.
