The annual NHL arbitration hearings are just around the corner.
While there aren’t any high profile arbitration cases this year like last year’s P.K. Subban case, there are a handful of players up for arbitration who are important pieces to their team. Mike Hoffman, the Ottawa Senators leading scorer is clearly among that group.
Arbitration is certainly nothing new for the Senators, they’ve dealt with many cases in the past, but it could be the current management group’s first big deal since Antoine Vermette filed back in 2009.
Ross at Silver Seven had a cool post taking a look at the Senators’ arbitration history.
