I'm confused too. I keep wondering where the dates with Catherine, Annie, Marie-Anne, Julie, Josée, Valérie, Patricia and Chloé are. Sure they aren't *all* critical, but some sure are !!

When did ignorance become a point of view?

Attention turns to restricted free agents
Eligible players, including Lecavalier, have until today to file for arbitration

Canadian Press

The National Hockey League's frenzy over unrestricted free agents has cooled down and the focus has shifted gears to restricted free agents.

They have until today to file for salary arbitration. Restricted free agents who reject one-year qualifying offers from their clubs can elect to go for arbitration and receive a one-year or two-year award from the arbitrator. This year's arbitration cases will be heard from Aug. 22 to Sept. 1.

Several restricted free agents have already accepted their one-year qualifying offers instead of going the arbitration route. Others, such as Tampa Bay Lightning star Vincent Lecavalier, continue to talk with their clubs.

"We've had discussions with Tampa and we've explored a one-year deal and now we're exploring a multiyear deal," his agent, Kent Hughes, said. "But we're comfortable with where the one-year deal would be at that we don't need to go through the arbitration process."

Eleven players elect salary arbitration

Sports Ticker

TORONTO (Ticker) - Ottawa Senators star Marian Hossa is in the minority.

Just 11 NHL players - including Hossa - invoked their right for salary arbitration Wednesday, the deadline to file under the guidelines of the new collective bargaining agreement.

Also opting for arbitration were Brenden Morrow of Dallas, Shawn Horcoff of Edmonton, Paul Mara of Phoenix, Mattias Ohlund of Vancouver, Dick Tarnstrom and Josef Melichar of Pittsburgh.

The New York Islanders featured the highest number of players, with Trent Hunter, Justin Papineau, Mike York and Brent Sopel filing. York and Sopel were acquired in trades with Edmonton and Vancouver, respectively, last week.

According to the new CBA, players are eligible for salary arbitration after four years in the NHL, as opposed to the previous three-year period.

Also new to the agreement is the right for teams to take players to arbitration. Players who made more than $1.5 million in their previous season can be taken to arbitration by their teams instead of receiving qualifying offers. Clubs also can elect arbitration for Group II free agents who declined to choose the procedure.

Teams have until 5 p.m. EDT on Thursday to file for arbitration against players. All hearings will take place in Toronto from August 23-September 1.
