Nicholas Robertson of the Toronto Maple Leafs was one of 11 players who filed for salary arbitration July 5, according to the NHL Players' Association.
The 23-year-old forward had 22 points (15 goals, seven assists) in 69 regular-season games last season and three points (two goals, one assist) in 13 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dylan Samberg signed a three-year, $17.25 million contract ($5.75 million average annual value) on July 30 to avoid a hearing, leaving Robertson as the final player who had filed for arbitration without a contract.
Other notable players who filed include forwards Gabriel Vilardi of the Jets and Kaapo Kakko of the Seattle Kraken. Each agreed to a contract to avoid a scheduled hearing.
Vilardi signed a six-year, $45 million contract ($7.5 million AAV) July 18. The 25-year-old had NHL career highs in goals (27), assists (34) and points (61) in 71 games last season, his sixth in the League.
Kakko signed a three-year, $13.575 million contract ($4.525 million AAV) with the Kraken on July 22. The 24-year-old had an NHL career-high 44 points (14 goals, 30 assists) in 79 games last season, including 30 points (10 goals, 20 assists) in 49 games with the Kraken after he was acquired in a trade with the New York Rangers on Dec. 18.
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jayden Struble signed a two-year, $2.825 million contract ($1.4125 million AAV) on July 28 to avoid a hearing.
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Conor Timmins signed a two-year, $4.4 million contract ($2.2 million AAV) on July 27 to avoid a hearing.

The Anaheim Ducks signed goalie Lukas Dostal to a five-year contract July 17 and defenseman Drew Helleson to a two-year contract July 18 (financial terms not disclosed for either) to avoid hearings.
The Sabres elected salary arbitration for defenseman Bowen Byram before the 5 p.m. ET deadline July 6, as did the Utah Mammoth for forward Jack McBain. Byram signed a two-year, $12.5 million contract ($6.25 million AAV) on July 14, and McBain signed a five-year, $21.25 million contract ($4.25 million AAV) with Utah on July 7.
Salary arbitration hearings are scheduled to be held through Aug. 4. A player can sign a contract with his current team any time before his hearing.
