Agent: Mutual interest between Wild, Eric Staal

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.
