Daniel Winnik

Winnik was in Bruins camp on a PTO, but evidently failed to impress. It's not uncommon for declining players to continue their respective careers overseas.

Winnik logged 81 games for the Wild last season, in which he tallied six goals, 17 helpers and 82 shots, while averaging 13:34 of ice time. The veteran winger will likely have a hard time beating out youngsters Danton Heinen, Ryan Donato and Anders Bjork for a spot on the 23-man roster, but he might be able to add a level of grit and physicality the team is otherwise missing in the bottom six.

Winnik is a journeyman who will be able to hit the open market this summer, having already been under contract by the Maple Leafs, Ducks, Avalanche, Coyotes and Wild through 11 years of NHL service time. He looked pretty good in his bottom-six role with Minnesota, but it remains to be seen which direction that club will head now that Chuck Fletcher is out as general manager.

Winnik has just five points in his last 20 games. The defensive-minded forward could top his 25 points from last season as he has 19 points this season in 68 games. However, his value is on the forecheck.
