Cases filed for arbitration:
Just 11 NHL players - including Hossa - invoked their right for salary arbitration Wednesday, the deadline to file under the guidelines of the new collective bargaining agreement.
Also opting for arbitration were Brenden Morrow of Dallas, Shawn Horcoff of Edmonton, Paul Mara of Phoenix, Mattias Ohlund of Vancouver, Dick Tarnstrom and Josef Melichar of Pittsburgh.
The New York Islanders featured the highest number of players, with Trent Hunter, Justin Papineau, Mike York and Brent Sopel filing. York and Sopel were acquired in trades with Edmonton and Vancouver, respectively, last week.
According to the new CBA, players are eligible for salary arbitration after four years in the NHL, as opposed to the previous three-year period.
Also new to the agreement is the right for teams to take players to arbitration. Players who made more than $1.5 million in their previous season can be taken to arbitration by their teams instead of receiving qualifying offers. Clubs also can elect arbitration for Group II free agents who declined to choose the procedure.
Teams have until 5 p.m. EDT on Thursday to file for arbitration against players. All hearings will take place in Toronto from August 23-September 1
