SAINT PAUL/MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Minnesota Wild President and General Manager Doug Risebrough announced today the National Hockey League (NHL) club has signed defenseman Clayton Stoner to a rookie contract and left wing Stephane Veilleux (pronounced steph-AWN Vay-OOH) to a multi-year contract.

Stoner, 20 (2/19/85), recorded 46 points (12-34=46) and 81 penalty minutes (PIM) in 60 games with the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League (WHL) last season. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound defenseman established career-highs in every offensive category and was named to the WHL All-Star Second Team. He finished second on the team and ninth among WHL defensemen in scoring. The Port McNeill, British Columbia-native also recorded five power play goals. Stoner was originally selected by the Wild in the third round (79th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.


Well, it looks like Belle and Stoner are gone.
