Sykora On A Tryout With The Wild

from Michael Russo of Russo’s Rants at the Star-Tribune,
I’ve been sitting on this for a couple days for a variety of reasons, but it’s starting to get out there now and not in an accurate way.
As I reported here Sept. 4, the Wild was interested in signing Petr Sykora. After back and forth negotiations last week, Sykora said no. Now Sykora will indeed fly to Minnesota on Tuesday.
But if he passes his physical, he’ll be placed on a pro tryout like unsigned free agent Andy Hilbert. He is not signed, and GM Chuck Fletcher made it very clear to me just now that there is no guarantee to sign him.
He’s got to make the team.

I’m really surprised no one signed Sykora. As a Red Wings fan, I think it would have been a better value overall to sign Sykora, a proven goal scorer, and give third line duty to Abdelkader rather than sign Bertuzzi and Williams. Abdelkader is ready, and Sykora will score more than Bertuzzi or Williams. That said, Holland is known as one of the best GMs for a reason, so let’s hope he’s right about this.
