The drama began with Schroeder filing for arbitration, seeking a pay increase and a one way contract to presumably push Wild coaching staff to include him in the opening night line up. Schroeder was coming off a two year, two-way contract that saw him paid $600,000 with the big club and significantly less down in Iowa. He spent most of last season bouncing between Minnesota and Iowa, at times sitting the press box. Despite this he put up decent numbers in the AHL, a total of 34 points in 40 games, good for fourth on the team.
