The Montreal Canadiens had three possible restricted free agents who could file for Salary Arbitration. Jacob de La Rose was one of them, but the 23-year-old agreed to a two-year contract that will see him make $900,000 per season. The other two were Phillip Danault and Joel Armia.
After the 5:00 PM ET deadline passed, it was revealed that both have decided to take the next step in their contract process to a third party arbitrator.
Danault played 52 games for the Montreal Canadiens this season scoring 8 goals and 17 assists for a total of 25 points.
