On Thursday, July 6th at 5 PM, the deadline for NHL Restricted Free Agents who are filing salary arbitration passed. Twenty-two RFAs filed for salary arbitration. Among them are three Boston Bruins Goaltender Jeremy Swayman, Forward Trent Frederic, and newly acquired defenseman Ian Mitchell.
Teams can still negotiate with players before hearings take place from July 20th through August 4th. No team wants to go to arbitration with the player, so players filing for arbitration incentives a deal to get quicker.
According to Cap Friendly, the Bruins have 6.9 million in projected cap space for the 2023-2024 season.
