## Resource

NHL arbitration is heating up, with Kirby Dach’s hearing set for July 30th — a late but strategic move by the Canadiens to keep his salary in check via a two-way qualifying offer. With the offer expiring July 15th, both sides have until then to negotiate, with arbitration floor at $3.4M and likely settling around $4M. Dach’s agent, who also reps Colton Dach (newly signed with Edmonton on a $1.2M deal), adds an interesting layer. By August, Dach’s future is clear — potentially freeing GMs to trade him — while other stars like Zegras and Robertson also head to arbitration.
