NHL: Juuse Saros, Vince Dunn, and Adam Pelech lead list of 17 players filing for arbitration
The deadline for player-elected salary arbitration was yesterday. In total, seventeen players opted to file. Three teams have two players filing in the Detroit Red Wings, Nashville Predators, and Winnipeg Jets.
Salary arbitration is where a third-party arbitrator determines a fair contract at a scheduled hearing. Both sides can continue to work on a new deal and avoid the arbitration date.
If the case does get in front of an arbitrator, the team can elect to walk away from the deal, thus making the player an unrestricted feee agent.
Arbitration dates have yet to be scheduled. Club-elected salary arbitration deadline is today at 5PM ET.
