A pair of key forwards on Canadian NHL teams are among the group of players to file for salary arbitration.
Cole Perfetti of the Winnipeg Jets and Kirby Dach of the Montreal Canadiens were among a group of 15 players to file by Sunday's 5 p.m. ET deadline.
Other players to file include:
Jason Robertson, Dallas Stars
Nick Robertson, Pittsburgh Penguins
Braden Schneider, New York Rangers
Akira Schmid, Florida Panthers
Connor McMichael, St. Louis Blues
Jamie Drysdale, Philadelphia Flyers
Trevor Zegras, Philadelphia Flyers
Jet Greaves, Columbus Blue Jackets
Xavier Bourgault, Ottawa Senators
Alex Jefferies, New York Islanders
Peyton Krebs, Buffalo Sabres
Ronan Seeley, Carolina Hurricanes
Cole Sillinger, Columbus Blue Jackets
Players who file for arbitration can still negotiate a contract with their team before the hearing, but are no longer eligible for an offer sheet.
Perfetti, 24, is coming off a two-year contract that carried a $3.25-million cap hit. He scored 12 goals and 32 points in 68 games last season and scored a career-high 50 points in 2024-25.
Dach, 25, just completed a four-year contract with a $3,362,500 cap hit. He appeared in only 154 games over those four seasons as he battled multiple severe injuries. In 2025-26, Dach was limited to just 37 games and scored eight goals and 15 points.
