Wild give winger Veilleux one-year deal to avoid arbitration

 

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Stephane Veilleux and the Minnesota Wild agreed to terms Saturday on a one-year contract, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing.

The 26-year-old Veilleux, who has carved a niche as a left wing on the Wild's checking line, scored a career-high 11 goals and added seven assists in 77 games last season.

He has played five seasons with the Wild, who drafted him in the third round in 2001.

It is good to see that they were able to avoid arbitration. Steph has shown a solid commitment to the team. There is no question that he busts his A$$ every shift and is willing to stick up for his teammates. Gabby could even learn from his work ethic. Good move for both sides. Now all Steph has to do is continue his improvement from last season and he will get paid the $$$ he wants.
