The arbitration hearing dates for the few remaining unsettled cases have been finalized, PuckPedia<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

F\u00a0Kaapo Kakko<\/a>, Kraken: July 25<\/p>\n

G\u00a0Arvid Soderblom<\/a>, Blackhawks: July 28<\/p>\n

F\u00a0Maxim Tsyplakov<\/a>, Islanders: July 29<\/p>\n

D\u00a0Dylan Samberg<\/a>, Jets: July 30<\/p>\n

D\u00a0Conor Timmins<\/a>, Sabres: Aug. 2<\/p>\n

F\u00a0Nicholas Robertson<\/a>, Maple Leafs: Aug. 3<\/p>\n

D\u00a0Jayden Struble<\/a>, Canadiens: Aug. 3<\/p>\n

There are only seven out of this year\u2019s initial 11 player-elected arbitration cases<\/a> still without a resolution as the hearings approach. Winnipeg had three of the players on that list and has settled with two of them, reaching a two-year, $3.7MM settlement<\/a> with\u00a0Morgan Barron<\/a>\u00a0and a substantial six-year, $45MM deal<\/a> for\u00a0Gabriel Vilardi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Ducks also had two arbitration cases on that list, but settled with both of them in the past few days. Depth defenseman Drew Helleson<\/a>\u00a0got a two-year, $2.2MM contract<\/a>, while emerging star goaltender\u00a0Lukas Dostal<\/a>\u00a0signed a five-year, $32.5MM deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There were two team-elected arbitration cases this year, the Sabres\u2019\u00a0Bowen Byram<\/a> and the Mammoth\u2019s\u00a0Jack McBain<\/a>, but both have been settled.<\/p>\n

As for the seven players above, they can continue talks with their clubs on a new deal until the hearing begins. After that, they\u2019re bound to the arbitrator\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

Players who reach an arbitration hearing are only eligible to sign a one or two-year contract. Since the player filed for arbitration in all seven cases above, the team gets to choose the contract length after receiving the arbitrator\u2019s decision on the AAV. However, only Robertson, Soderblom, and Struble would be eligible for two-year contracts. Everyone else is one year away from being eligible for unrestricted free agency status, so they can\u2019t receive a multi-year arbitration award.<\/p>\n

If the arbitration award exceeds $4.85MM in any case, the team can decline it and allow the player to become an unrestricted free agent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The arbitration hearing dates for the few remaining unsettled cases have been finalized, PuckPedia reports: F\u00a0Kaapo Kakko, Kraken:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[766,14115,14104,11622,741,49,48,4233,756,14105,14106,14107,14108,7729,14109,14110,14111,6849,14112,743,14113,750,4247,448,14114,14116,10032,768,82,746,765,449],"class_list":["post-16063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-anaheim-ducks","tag-arbitration","tag-arvid-soderblom","tag-bowen-byram","tag-buffalo-sabres","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cba","tag-chicago-blackhawks","tag-conor-timmins","tag-drew-helleson","tag-dylan-samberg","tag-free-agency","tag-gabriel-vilardi","tag-jack-mcbain","tag-jayden-struble","tag-kaapo-kakko","tag-lukas-dostal","tag-maxim-tsyplakov","tag-montreal-canadiens","tag-morgan-barron","tag-new-york-islanders","tag-newsstand","tag-nhl","tag-nicholas-robertson","tag-players","tag-schedule","tag-seattle-kraken","tag-sports","tag-toronto-maple-leafs","tag-utah-mammoth","tag-winnipeg-jets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
