Jordan Schroeder and the Minnesota Wild finally came to an agreement yesterday afternoon on a one-year contract to avoid an impending arbitration hearing scheduled for Tuesday of this week. Sportsnet is reporting that Schroeder’s deal will be a two-way deal that will pay Schroeder $650,000 at the NHL level and $275,000 while he’s in the AHL. That’s a modest pay raise from his last deal with the Wild, but more importantly pays Schroeder $150,000 more in the AHL and $50,000 more in the NHL.
All this coming after a hard week that saw Schroeder put on and clear waivers in a move that was seen as a leverage move by the Wild to make an arbitration hearing go their way.
