The dates have been set, and the Jets and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff have to work quickly to sign Dylan Samberg before he heads to arbitration on July 30th.

Team-elected arbitration cases, Buffalo's Bowen Byram and the Mammoth's Jack McBain, have also been settled. Teams and players may continue negotiating until the hearing starts. Then, the arbitrator's ruling is binding. The arbitrator may only give one or two-year contracts. Because these were player-elected cases, teams have the right to choose the contract length after getting the arbitrator's ruling on the AAV. However, only Nicholas Robertson, Arvid Soderblom, and Jayden Struble are eligible for two-year awards; the others are one year away from unrestricted free agency and are limited to one-year contracts. If the arbitrator's award exceeds $4.85 million, teams can walk away, and the player is an unrestricted free agent.
