The NHLPA announced that 17 players will file for NHL salary arbitration. This is down from last season when 26 players filed.<\/p>\n
For a\u00a0refresher<\/a>, salary arbitration is where a contract dispute is settled through the player and team each proposing a salary for the upcoming season at a hearing. The neutral third party (arbitrator) sets the player\u2019s salary for the season after the process. If one signs an NHL contract before the age of 20, he must have four seasons of NHL experience to be eligible. If over 20, the term is decreased. The player can never receive less than 85% of his previous year\u2019s salary and the team must make a decision to honour or decline the player\u2019s awarded salary by the arbitrator in the next 48 hours after the hearing. If the team declines, the player can become an unrestricted free agent.<\/p>\n The deadline for club-elected salary arbitration notification is Monday at 5 p.m. ET. Salary arbitration hearings will be held from Aug. 11-26. A player can sign a contract with his current team any time before an arbitrator’s ruling.<\/p>\n Here is the full list.<\/p>\n Calgary Flames<\/a>: Nikita Zadorov<\/a><\/p>\n Colorado Avalanche<\/a>: Dennis Gilbert<\/a><\/p>\n Detroit Red Wings<\/a>: Adam Erne<\/a>, Jakub Vrana<\/a><\/p>\n Montreal Canadiens<\/a>: Michael McNiven<\/p>\n Nashville Predators<\/a>: Dante Fabbro<\/a>, Juuse Saros<\/a><\/p>\n New York Islanders<\/a>: Adam Pelech<\/a><\/p>\n Ottawa Senators<\/a>: Victor Mete<\/a><\/p>\n Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a>: Zach Aston-Reese<\/a><\/p>\n San Jose Sharks<\/a>: Adin Hill<\/a><\/p>\n Seattle Kraken<\/a>: Vince Dunn<\/a><\/p>\n St. Louis Blues<\/a>: Zach Sanford<\/a><\/p>\n Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a>: Ross Colton<\/a><\/p>\n Winnipeg Jets<\/a>: Andrew Copp<\/a>, Neal Pionk<\/a><\/p>\n Vancouver Canucks<\/a>: Jason Dickinson<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some of the more notable names on the list are Predators starting goalie, Juuse Saros; Winnipeg Jets duo Copp and Pionk, who both play big roles on the team; newly acquired defencemen Dunn (Seattle) and Zadorov (Calgary), and excellent defensive forward Zach Aston-Reese.<\/p>\n Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman also reports<\/a> that there have been two cases of Club-elected salary arbitration: Minnesota’s Kevin Fiala<\/a> and Philadelphia’s Travis Sanheim<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – MAY 23: Goalie Juuse Saros #74 of the Nashville Predators makes a save against the Carolina Hurricanes during the second overtime period in Game Four of the First Round of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Bridgestone Arena on May 23, 2021, in Nashville, Tennessee.
