Goodenow to return?

According to the Globe and Mail, Chris Chelios would welcome back Bob Goodenow to the NHLPA. Goodenow resigned in the summer of 2005 after 13 years at the helm of the NHLPA, and was replaced with Ted Saskin. "I mean, if Bob put his résumé in, I'd certainly consider it. That was a tough thing he went through," Chelios said. "We have a list of 13, 14 people we're seriously considering...the two people I met with were very impressive. If we picked either one, we couldn't make a bad decision." Source

A Minnesota source has confirmed that A.J. Thelen will be offered a tryout with the Wild at their prospects tournament in Michigan. The former first rounder of the Wild became a free agent on July 1. It was rumoured earlier this summer that the Canucks were interested in signing him, but GM Dave Nonis felt he needed a more experienced defenseman.
