A group of NHL stars are looking for a raise.

Thursday afternoon was the deadline for restricted free agents to file for salary arbitration. Ottawa Senators forward Mark Stone and Vegas Golden Knights 40-goal scorer William Karlsson headline a list of filing players that includes quite a bit of firepower.

Of course, the majority of arbitration cases are often settled before a meeting with a third-party arbitrator occurs.

Nevertheless, here is the full list of players filing for arbitration:

In total 44 players elected to go to arbitration, which is 14 more than last year, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Friday at 5 p.m. ET is the deadline for team-elected salary arbitration lists. Arbitration hearings will take place from July 20 to Aug. 4 in Toronto.

The Detroit Red Wings and forward Andreas Athanasiou agreed to a two-year contract worth $6 million on Thursday, according to MLive.com's Ansar Khan.

The 23-year-old is coming off his third season with the Red Wings, during which he put up a career-best 33 points in 71 games.

Athanasiou missed the first 10 games of the season and elected to skate in Switzerland after he and the Red Wings failed to come to terms on a new contract to begin the year. Ultimately, the two sides agreed to a one-year, $1.3875-million contract on Oct. 20.

In 172 career games, Athanasiou has tallied 43 goals and 76 points while averaging 13:16 of ice time.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed forward Anthony Duclair to a one-year contract worth $650K, the team confirmed to The Athletic's Aaron Portzline Thursday.

Duclair, 22, had a breakout year in his first season with the Arizona Coyotes in 2015-16, scoring 20 goals and 44 points.

Things slowed down for the former third-round pick the following campaign, when he posted five goals and 15 points in 58 games. He also spent six weeks with the Tucson Roadrunners in the AHL during the year.

After another slow start last year, Duclair requested a trade. In January, he was dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks where he appeared in 23 games, adding two goals and eight points.

Chicago chose not to extend a $1.2-million qualifying offer to Duclair late last month, making him an unrestricted free agent.

The Montreal Canadiens have signed forward Jacob de la Rose to a two-year, $1.8-million contract, the club announced on Thursday.

de la Rose was drafted by the Canadiens with their 34th overall pick in 2013, and he's tallied 19 points in 119 games over four seasons.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Swede achieved international success in May, winning gold with Sweden at the 2018 World Hockey Championship in Denmark.

Could Anthony Duclair be headed to Columbus?

The free-agent winger has held discussions with the Blue Jackets, his agent confirmed to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic. However, Columbus is one of a few teams in the mix for the young forward.

Philippe Lecavalier, Duclair's agent, told Portzline that a deal could get done by Monday.

Duclair began last season with the Arizona Coyotes prior to a January trade that sent him to the Chicago Blackhawks. He finished the year with 11 goals and 12 assists in 56 games. The 22-year-old became an unrestricted free agent after the Blackhawks declined to extend him a qualifying offer.

An attorney representing Ottawa Senators assistant general manager Randy Lee will file a not guilty plea and a motion to dismiss harassment charges in Buffalo court Friday, according to the Associated Press.

Lee, who has been suspended by the Senators until the court makes its ruling, faces a second charge of harassment after he was accused of making lewd comments and rubbing the shoulders of a 19-year-old male shuttle bus driver while attending the NHL draft combine in Buffalo. He was later arrested.

The 56-year-old has been a part of the Senators' organization since 1995.

The Anaheim Ducks have signed defenseman Andrej Sustr to a one-year deal, the team announced Thursday.

The 27-year-old's deal is worth $1.3 million, according to The Athletic's Eric Stephens.

He's coming off a one-year, $1.95-million contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The 6-foot-7 defenseman was limited to 44 games last season, tallying two goals and seven points. With a crowded back end in Tampa Bay, Sustr was a healthy scratch down the stretch and for the playoffs.

Shea Weber was expected to return to the lineup by training camp after his recovery from offseason foot surgery. However, the Montreal Canadiens blue-liner has now been sidelined five-to-six months after undergoing knee surgery.

"We were very disappointed to learn that this knee injury will extend Shea's recovery period," Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said in a statement. "Unfortunately, this is out of our control and we have to fully trust the medical group in these situations. We are confident that his recovery will go as scheduled and that Shea will return to action as soon as possible."

Canadiens team doctor David Mulder added he expects Weber to be ready to return to the lineup by mid-December.

Weber has not played since Dec. 16 of last season, missing the remainder of the year with a foot injury. He had foot surgery in March.

Limited to just 26 appearances a year ago, Weber managed six goals and 10 assists in his second stint with the Canadiens. The 32-year-old is under contract through the 2025-26 campaign.

Barry Trotz is bringing a familiar face to Brooklyn, as the New York Islanders have named Lane Lambert as associate coach.

Lambert has spent the past four seasons as an assistant to Trotz with the Washington Capitals. The two were also behind the bench with the Nashville Predators for three seasons prior to heading to D.C. in 2014.

The 53-year-old brings a wealth of experience, including two stints as head coach with the WHL's Prince George Cougars and the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals.

In 2016, Lambert interviewed for the Colorado Avalanche's head coaching job before it ultimately went to Jared Bednar.

The Philadelphia Flyers have signed free-agent defenseman Christian Folin to a one-year deal, the club announced Thursday.

The 6-foot-3, 204-pound Swede led the Los Angeles Kings in average hits per game last season and averaged 15:35 of ice time.

In 183 NHL games, the right-handed blue-liner posted 36 points and owns a career plus-minus of plus-16. Folin signed with Minnesota as a free agent out of college, and spent part of four seasons with the Wild before joining the Kings in 2017.
