Even though a player elects to go to salary arbitration, doesn’t mean it actually gets there. The Montreal Canadiens had two dates set for July 20th and July 25th. There meeting with Phillip Danault is still happening (as far as we know), but Joel Armia‘s has now been settled as he has agreed to a one-year deal with the Habs.
The contract will see the 25-year-old make $1.85 million next season a little over more than double the salary he made this past year with the Winnipeg Jets.
