The Ducks re-signed restricted free agents Kalle Kossila, Kevin Roy and Andy Welinski to one-year, two-way contracts Tuesday. Kossila, Roy and Welinski spent most of the 2017-18 season with the San Diego Gulls, the Ducks’ American Hockey League team.
Kossila, a center, will make $650,000 in the NHL and $125,000 in the AHL, according to a league source. Roy, a left wing, will make $874,000 in the NHL and $70,000 in the AHL. Welinski, a defenseman, will make $690,000 in the NHL and $125,000 in the AHL.
Kossila had career highs of 21 goals and 54 points in 55 games for San Diego last season, leading the Gulls in goals and points. He also had one goal and two points in 10 games for the Ducks. The 25-year-old native of Finland signed with the Ducks on March 30, 2016, out of St. Cloud State.
Roy, 25, scored 14 goals and 37 points in 45 games with the Gulls and had six goals and seven points in 25 games with the Ducks last season. Welinski, 25, scored 10 goals and 34 points in 51 games with San Diego and had two assists in seven games with the Ducks.
Restricted free agents Ondrej Kase, Brandon Montour and Nick Ritchie remained unsigned. Montour, a 24-year-old defenseman who had 9 goals and 32 points in his first full season in the NHL in 2017-18, has filed for salary arbitration and his hearing was scheduled for next Tuesday.
