Wild's Nick Seeler: Receives qualifying offer

Seeler was given a qualifying offer by Minnesota on Monday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Seeler logged 22 games with the Wild after being called up in mid-February last year. Prior to his move to the NHL, the Eden Prairie, Minnesota native notched 12 points in 49 appearances for AHL Iowa. Not exactly an offensive force (he is still looking for his first NHL goal), the 25-year-old is solid in the defensive zone. Seeler's qualifying offer will cost Minnesota just $715,000 for the upcoming season.
