Daniel Winnik has translated a camp tryout into a full-time gig, signing a one-year, $660,000 deal with the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday.
Winnik joined the Wild on a professional tryout offer last month. His showing in the preseason, in which he tallied one point in five games, was enough to earn a spot with the team.
Winnik, 32, recorded 25 points in 72 games with the Washington Capitals last season.
