The morning of July 20th has come and with it is the scheduled time for the arbitration hearing between the Red Wings and restricted free agent Tomas Tatar. If this is allowed to finish, it will be the first completed arbitration case that the Red Wings have seen since Jiri Hudler was granted a two-year deal in 2009 which he delayed by playing in the KHL one season.
Last year, the Wings began the process with Petr Mrazek, but ended it prematurely with a two-year contract which canceled the rest of the show.
