NHL salary arbitration period completed

Tyler Bertuzzi was the only NHL player awarded a contract by an independent arbitrator after 26 restricted free agents filed for salary arbitration Oct. 10.

The Detroit Red Wings forward received a one-year, $3.5 million contract Oct. 27 after a hearing Oct. 25. The 25-year-old set an NHL career high in points (48) and tied his high in goals (21) in 71 games last season. He was selected to play in the 2020 NHL All-Star Game.

Florida Panthers defenseman MacKenzie Weegar and New York Rangers forwards Ryan Strome and Brendan Lemieux were the final three of the 26 players to get a contract.

Weegar signed a three-year contract with the Panthers on Nov. 6, when the Rangers announced that Strome agreed to a two-year, $9 million contract ($4.5 million average annual value) to avoid a hearing scheduled the prior day and that Lemieux agreed to a two-year, $3.1 million contract ($1.55 million AAV) to avoid his that day. Financial terms were not disclosed for Weegar's contract.
