Erik Haula will return to the Minnesota Wild after being a healthy scratch to start the 2015 playoffs. Haula enjoyed a breakout performance in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs with being able to slow down the Chicago Blackhawks’ captain, Jonathon Toews, with his speed. He looks to be apart of the Wild moving forward and has been quoted in saying he loves it here in Minnesota.
"“I obviously love it here, and there’s no questions there,” Haula said. “I just have to put in a lot of work this summer and just have a great attitude and be ready.”"
Haula scored seven goals with seven assists last season and will looked to be an emerging star moving forward.
