Martin Necas of the Carolina Hurricanes was one of 14 restricted free agents who filed for salary arbitration Friday, according to the NHL Players’ Association.
Last season, the forward, aged 25, achieved a total of 53 points (24 goals and 29 assists) throughout 77 regular-season games. Additionally, during the Stanley Cup Playoff games, they contributed nine points (four goals and five assists) over the course of 11 matches.
Notable players who filed include goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (Buffalo Sabres), defenseman Ryan Lindgren (New York Rangers) and forward Kirill Marchenko (Columbus Blue Jackets).
Club-elected salary arbitration notification must be submitted by Saturday at 5 p.m. ET.
The schedule for salary arbitration hearings is set between July 20 and August 4, during which players have the opportunity to sign contracts with their current team before their respective hearing.
Last offseason, 22 restricted free agents filed for salary arbitration. Goalies Jeremy Swayman (Boston Bruins) and Ilya Samsonov (Toronto Maple Leafs), and forward Philipp Kurashev (Chicago Blackhawks) were the only players awarded a contract by an independent arbitrator following their hearings.
The following is a list of players who have submitted for salary arbitration. The dates for their hearings have not yet been disclosed.
