The NHL and NHLPA announced their list of players who opted for Salary Arbitration today, and it appears that recently acquired forward Pavel Zacha is on that list:
Hearings for Arbitration begin next Wednesday and go until August 11th.
While normally this is often thought of as a last resort for player and for team in trying to come to terms with a number that works out for both parties, arbitration has ultimately ensured throughout the years that whatever it is that both parties are running into may be something ultimately fairly trivial, and there are many success stories of the practice; with recent examples such as Nate Schmidt, Devon Toews (man that one was a success story, good gravy), and Mackenzie Weegar.
