Share

Defenseman Patrick Traverse and the Mighty Ducks agreed Monday on a one-year contract worth $550,000, the result of an arbitrator’s decision in Toronto.

Traverse, 26, joined the Ducks after a June 12 trade from the Ottawa Senators. He had six goals and 23 points in 66 games last season for the Senators. He earned $227,500 in 1999-2000, his second full NHL season.

Right wing Ladislav Kohn has an arbitration hearing Wednesday and center Antti Aalto has one scheduled for Sunday.
