## Resource

Florida Panthers goalie Akira Schmid has filed for arbitration, seeking more than Vegas’ qualifying offer of $918,750 — signaling he’s ready to fight for his worth. With the team already near the salary cap, this move locks him in with Florida and prevents other teams from offering him a contract. Schmid’s case is rare for the Panthers — the last was MacKenzie Weegar in 2019, who settled before it escalated. Either Schmid and the Panthers will negotiate a deal, or an arbiter will decide his salary — either way, he’s guaranteed a spot at training camp in September.
