Sykora Signs in Minnesota


The Minnesota Wild have signed winger Petr Sykora to a 1 year, $1.6 Million dollar contract.

At 32, it seems as if Petr Sykora has been playing in the NHL forever. Joining his 6th team in 8 years, Sykora moves away from the Stanley Cup champion, Pittsburgh Penguins and the top scorers in the league, to Minnesota, where they are attempting to forge a new identity.

Over his many seasons, Sykora’s stats have had a terrible yo-yo effect. With 81 points back in 2001-02 with New Jersey, Sykora has only broke the 60 point mark one time after that. With moving to Minnesota, he will be playing with less skilled players which will affect his totals. A goal scorer by nature, Sykora should have no problem breaking the 20 goal mark. Look for him to score 45 points and grab him in later rounds of your draft as his fantasy value has fallen.
