Binnington’s arbitration hearing set for July 20; full schedule announced

The 2019 crop of arbitration-eligible restricted free agents had their potential hearing dates set on Tuesday, the NHLPA announced.

Among the most prominent players on the list is St. Louis Blues netminder Jordan Binnington, who's scheduled for a hearing on July 20 if he and the Stanley Cup champions don't agree to a deal beforehand.

Here's a look at the dates for some other notable players:

Player Team Date
Joel Armia Candiens July 20
Andrew Copp Jets July 20
Neal Pionk Jets July 24
Oskar Sundqvist Blues July 24
Jacob Trouba Rangers July 25
Sam Bennett Flames July 27
David Rittich Flames July 29
J.T. Compher Avalanche July 31
Danton Heinen Bruins August 3
Arturri Lehkonen Canadiens August 3
Joel Edmundson Blues August 4

Traditionally, it's rare for any case to end up requiring a third-party arbitrator. Last summer, 40 of 44 players ultimately signed with their respective teams before reaching their meeting dates.
