NHL News: Engvall, Del Zotto, Mikkola, Janmark, Tkachuk, Dubois, and 24 File for Salary Arbitration
The Maple Leafs re-sign Pierre Engvall

Chris Johnston: The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Pierre Engvall to a one-year contract extension at $2.25 million.

Puck Pedia: The Maple Leafs are now $1.5 million over the salary cap with 22 players under contract – 13 forwards, 7 defensemen and two goalies.

Remaining RFAs – Rasmus Sandin.

A 20-man opening day roster would have them cap compliant.

The Panthers sign Michael Del Zotto

Puck Pedia: The Florida Panthers have signed defenseman Michael Del Zotto to a one-year, two-way deal.

He’ll have a $750,000 NHL cap hit and make $450,000 in the minors.

The Blues re-sign Niko Mikkola

Puck Pedia: The St. Louis Blues have re-signed defenseman, Niko Mikkola, to a one-year, $1.9 million deal.

The Oilers sign Mattias Janmark

Puck Pedia: The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Mattias Janmark to a one-year deal worth $1.25 million.

No arbitration for Matthew Tkachuk

Pat Steinberg: Calgary Flames RFA Matthew Tkachuk didn’t file for salary arbitration.

  • Pat Steinberg: This makes sense.”It keeps him eligible for an offer sheet. And with a $9 million qualifying number, arbitration likely wouldn’t have pushed him much higher. Tkachuk can still accept his one-year qualifying offer before Friday’s deadline.”
No arbitartion for Pierre-Luc Dubois

Murat Ates: Winnipeg Jets Pierre-Luc Dubois didn’t file for salary arbitration. He could have argued for more than $6 million but is now open for offer sheets and may have some more leverage now.

Murat Ates: Dubois is able to accept his $6 million qualifying offer by July 22nd.
