NHL Free Agents 2011: Teddy Purcell and This Week’s Arbitration Hearings
This week, the NHL begins their arbitration hearings with restricted free agents. The hearings begin Wednesday and are set to run through August 4th.
Here’s the original list of this week’s arbitrations, from NHLPA.com:
Korpikoski, Lauri – Phoenix – July 20, 2011
Purcell, Teddy – Tampa – July 20, 2011
Stalberg, Viktor – Chicago – July 20, 2011
Cogliano, Andrew – Anaheim– July 21, 2011
Richardson, Brad – Los Angeles – July 21, 2011
Dubinsky, Brandon - New York Rangers – July 21, 2011
Wilson, Ryan - Colorado Avalanche – July 22, 2011
Viktor Stalberg, Brad Richardson and Ryan Wilson won’t be needing their arbitration hearings now, as they have re-signed with their respective clubs.
Stalberg and the Chicago Blackhawks agreed to a two-year deal valued at $1.75 million. Richardson and the Los Angeles Kings agreed to a two-year deal worth $2.35 million. Finally, Wilson and the Colorado Avalanche agreed to a one-year, $1.275 million deal.
The most anticipated hearings this week are Tampa’s Teddy Purcell and New York Rangers’ Brandon Dubinsky.
Dubinsky is the first scheduled arbitration, before the Ryan Callahan’s upcoming hearing. The Rangers avoided arbitration with Brian Boyle, signing Boyle this past Friday.
It will be interesting to see the results of the remaining RFAs hearings.
