In the least surprising news of the holiday weekend, both Pavel Buchnevich and Jacob Trouba filed for salary arbitration. This is a step in the process, and the Rangers haven’t gone to arbitration with anyone since Nikolai Zherdev, when they walked away from his $3.9 million award.
In the unlikely event one does actually go to arbitration, Buchnevich can choose between a one or a two year deal, while Trouba can only get a one year deal, since the following year he will be a UFA. I don’t expect that to happen, though. The walkaway point this year in arbitration is around $4.
