Confirmed Signing with Link: 26 players have filed for Salary Arbitration *Updated with Arbitration schedule *

[serp]

How does this work? Can the team away if they don't to sign the player?

I don't think so. Teams with players who filed for arbitration rights get a second buyout window though .

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Bear had no arbitration rights.

oh ok. Does that mean he has to accept his qualifying offer?

 

[Guttersniped]

Why? Less than usual. 40+ the last two seasons.

2020: 26 players
2019: 40 players (plus 1 team)
2018: 44 players
2017: 30 players
2016: 24 players (plus 1 team)
2015: 23 players (plus 2 teams)

 

[Mr Positive]

I'm curious about what arbitrators will do. Aren't they not allowed to make decisions based on the cap?

Ok, thanks. The Rangers and Buffalo might have trouble. Ho Sang should be done in this league.

They can make decisions based on comparable contracts. The thing I think they would be unable to bring up is how the pandemic has effected their salary structure. Versus in UFA or RFA outside of arb I’m sure this is a sticking point.

Can the players be traded?

Ho Song because he was qualified for some reason will get another deal for next year. Not sure why the Isles qualified him but they did.

Thanks for the information.

Can the players be traded?

Yes. See Cody Ceci last season. He was a qualified RFA when he was traded to the Leafs from Sens. Leafs then had to accept the arbitration result and sign him to that deal.

 

[McJedi]

Until you learn how the CBA actually works, you might want to sit this one out.

They could sit back and let arbitration do its thing. Guess it’s something you don’t grasp or understand. They don’t need to engage the NYR again. Just let arbitration pick their 2020-21 salary. Will be very generous for DeAnglo.
And if the rangers want to let them become UFAs. More power to these four.

 

[serp]

oh ok. Does that mean he has to accept his qualifying offer?

If Oilers and his agent ( or whoever represents him ) don't agree on a different kind of contract extension , yes.

 

[viper0220]

Yes. See Cody Ceci last season. He was a qualified RFA when he was traded to the Leafs from Sens. Leafs then had to accept the arbitration result and sign him to that deal.

I forgot about that one, thanks.

They could, but they won't. His agent isn't going to recommend that, because it's not in DeAngelo's best interest.

How many arbitration cases actually make it to a hearing? Very few.

 

[ItWasJustified]

My first thought as well...what’s his argument going to be for making any money?

He's hoping the arbitrator confuses him with the other nr 66 who's played in the NHL.

 

[seabass45]

My guess on Ho-Sang: Isles gave him a QO to retain his rights (sure?), Ho-Sang files in the hopes that the Isles walk away from whatever the arbitrator decides so he can be a UFA.

 

[ItWasJustified]

I don't think so. Teams with players who filed for arbitration rights get a second buyout window though .

If Oilers and his agent ( or whoever represents him ) don't agree on a different kind of contract extension , yes.

He can sit out the season or until Oilers trade him though (if neither him or Oilers agree on a contract), right?

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

Rangers are so screwed.

 

[serp]

My guess on Ho-Sang: Isles gave him a QO to retain his rights (sure?), Ho-Sang files in the hopes that the Isles walk away from whatever the arbitrator decides so he can be a UFA.

Well no arbitrator is awarding him enough for that. Isles can't walk away from anything below $4,538,958

 

[serp]

He can sit out the season or until Oilers trade him though (if neither him or Oilers agree on a contract), right?

Yes he can leave to play in Europe or something. Oilers will retain his NHL rights until he's 27 if he walks away. So not much gained there imho.

 

[aufheben]

Rangers are so screwed.

This is why they cleared so much cap space.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Yes he can leave to play in Europe or something. Oilers will retain his NHL rights until he's 27 if he walks away. So not much gained there imho.

Yes, it would be extremely stupid to throw away an NHL career that way.

 

[SI90]

Hope the Arbiter takes the cap into consideration lol this could be scary for a few teams.

 

[ToDavid]

I'm curious about what arbitrators will do. Aren't they not allowed to make decisions based on the cap?

I believe it can reflect the cap, so comparables would be based on % and reflect the fact that there wasn’t any growth. What the team isn’t allowed to do is use their specific cap or financial situation as an argument.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

lol Ho-Sang. Yeah, watch out for that massive arbitration amount there, NYI! Might have to take back some empties to clear cap space.
