Ryan Strome’s salary arbitration case is scheduled to be heard on Thursday, and it may actually get there, which isn’t usually the case when it comes to Rangers players. In this case, the distance between the salary figures proposed by the two sides seems pretty wide.
The gap is narrower in the case of forward Brendan Lemieux, according to reports Wednesday. Lemieux's arbitration case is scheduled to be heard Friday. He has asked for a $2 million salary, according to SportsNet’s Elliotte Friedman.
