Tanner Jeannot’s election to file for salary arbitration with the Tampa Bay Lightning has made him the seventh Lightning player to do so under the current CBA that went into effect in 2013. All six previous Lightning players that elected for arbitration ultimately came to terms with the team before their case went before the arbitrator.
Using CapFriendly’s Arbitration Filing tool, here are the timelines those cases followed:
- 2021: Ross Colton — August 16th hearing date, August 9th contract signing
- 2019: Cedric Paquette — Filed for arbitration and signed contract on July 5th
- 2017: Tyler Johnson — July 20th hearing date, July 10th contract signing
- 2017: Ondrej Palat — July 25th hearing date, July 14th contract signing
- 2016: Alex Killorn — July 20th hearing date, July 17th contact signing
- 2016: Valdislav Namestnikov — July 29th hearing date, July 26th contract signing
Jeannot and the Lightning do not currently have a hearing date set, but when assigned it will fall between July 20th and August 4th.
