The NHLPA released a list of 20 players filing for salary arbitration this summer, with Montreal Canadiens star defenseman P.K. Subban being the biggest name:

Joe Colborne

Dallas Stars

Cameron Gaunce

Antoine Roussel

Some pertinent bits of information: NHL teams face a July 6 (5 p.m. ET) deadline for club-elected arbitration.

Arbitration hearings are scheduled in Toronto between the dates of July 20 to August 4.

It’s worth noting that players don’t have to go through the process. In fact, it’s highly common for teams and free agents to make deals very close to the hearings and it’s become increasingly rare for the rather awkward sessions to even take place any longer. Then again, with a case like Subban and the Habs, it’s not out of the question for such a thing to take place, either.

Expect more on this process, particularly when it pertains to the biggest names on that list.
