Erik Haula and the Minnesota Wild are scheduled to head to arbitration on July 31. With just Haula left to sign, the Wild are sitting right around $2 million in cap space (assuming a roster constructed similar to this). Haula made $900K last year, and put up pretty underwhelming numbers across the board. He was very good on the penalty kill, but I would imagine contribution in that regard may be difficult to definitively quantify and valuate in an arbitration hearing; mostly due to the fact that the Wild as a whole were great on the kill, so it's difficult to parse the contributions of an individual player.
Should the Wild Bring Back Haula as Their Fourth Line Center?
