Yakov_Trenin

Yakov Trenin was the only NHL player awarded a contract by an independent arbitrator of the 26 restricted free agents who were scheduled for a salary arbitration hearing.

The Nashville Predators forward received a two-year, $3.4 million contract Aug. 5 after his hearing three days earlier.
Trenin was one of 24 players who filed for arbitration prior to the July 17 deadline. In addition, two players were scheduled for a club-elected hearing.
The Calgary Flames filed for forward Matthew Tkachuk before trading him to the Florida Panthers on July 22, after which he agreed to an eight-year contract. The New Jersey Devils filed for arbitration with forward Miles Wood; he agreed to a one-year, $3.2 million contract Aug. 4, two days before his scheduled hearing.
Defenseman
Jake Walman
signed a one-year, $1.05 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday, avoiding an arbitration hearing scheduled for later Thursday. He was the last player with a hearing scheduled.
Notable players who filed included forwards Andrew Mangiapane (Flames), Jesper Bratt (Devils) and Jesse Puljujarvi (Edmonton Oilers), and goalie
Kaapo Kahkonen
(San Jose Sharks).

Last offseason, 17 restricted free agents filed for arbitration and two had a team-elected hearing scheduled; each agreed to a contract before his hearing date.
