The NHLPA announced that 30 players will file for salary arbitration.<\/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, they 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 honor 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 New York Rangers forward Jesper Fast<\/a><\/strong> and Montreal Canadiens forward Alex Galchenyuk<\/a><\/strong> have already settled by signing new contracts with their teams.<\/p>\n Here is the full list with some notables.<\/p>\n Arizona Coyotes:<\/b>\u00a0Jordan Martinook<\/a><\/p>\n Boston Bruins:<\/b>\u00a0Ryan Spooner<\/a><\/p>\n Buffalo Sabres:<\/b>\u00a0Nathan Beaulieu<\/a>,\u00a0Johan Larsson<\/a>,\u00a0Robin Lehner<\/a><\/p>\n Calgary Flames:\u00a0<\/b>Micheal Ferland<\/a><\/p>\n Colorado Avalanche:<\/b>\u00a0Matt Nieto<\/p>\n Detroit Red Wings:<\/b>\u00a0Tomas Tatar<\/a><\/p>\n Edmonton Oilers:\u00a0<\/b>Joey LaLeggia<\/p>\n Los Angeles Kings:<\/b>\u00a0Kevin Gravel<\/a><\/p>\n Minnesota Wild:<\/b>\u00a0Mikael Granlund<\/a>, Nino Niederreiter<\/a><\/p>\n Montreal Canadiens:<\/b>\u00a0Alex Galchenyuk\u00a0(signed)<\/p>\n Nashville Predators:<\/b>\u00a0Viktor Arvidsson<\/a>, Marek Mazanec<\/a>,\u00a0Austin Watson<\/a><\/p>\n New York Islanders:<\/b>\u00a0Calvin de Haan<\/a><\/p>\n New York Rangers:<\/b>\u00a0Jesper Fast\u00a0(signed),\u00a0Mika Zibanejad<\/a><\/p>\n Ottawa Senators:\u00a0<\/b>Ryan Dzingel<\/a>,\u00a0Jean-Gabriel Pageau<\/a><\/p>\n Pittsburgh Penguins:<\/b>\u00a0Brian Dumoulin<\/a>,\u00a0Conor Sheary<\/a><\/p>\n St. Louis Blues:<\/b>\u00a0Colton Parayko<\/a><\/p>\n Tampa Bay Lightning:<\/b>\u00a0Tyler Johnson<\/a>,\u00a0Ondrej Palat<\/a><\/p>\n Vancouver Canucks:<\/b>\u00a0Reid Boucher<\/a>,\u00a0Michael Chaput<\/a><\/p>\n Vegas Golden Knights:<\/b>\u00a0Nate Schmidt<\/a><\/p>\nNHL Salary Arbitration: 30 Players File<\/h2>\n
