Players can still negotiate and sign contracts before their salary arbitration hearings. Those who elect for arbitration are no longer eligible to sign offer sheets.
The deadline for club-elected salary arbitration is Saturday at 5 p.m. ET. Hearings will be held from July 20 to Aug. 4.
Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman was eligible to file for arbitration again this summer. He went through the process last year and was awarded a one-year pact worth $3.475 million, though he said he didn't want to go through with it again.
