The following NHL players have elected to file for salary arbitration this summer. The deadline for players to elect salary arbitration was July 5 at 5 PM EST. The hearings will be held from July 20 to August 4, with the specific dates to be determined by the NHL and NHLPA. All arbitration dates are currently to be determined. Arbitrators are only allowed to hand out one to two year deals and their decisions must be made within 48 hours of the hearing. Teams then have 48 hours to accept or decline the arbitrator's decision. If a team has more than one player filing for arbitration, that team has 48 hours from their last player's hearing to decide if they want to accept or decline the arbitrator's decision. If a team declines an arbitrator's decision, the player becomes an unrestricted free agent. If an arbitrator's award is for more than $1,633,131 on a one-year contract, the team has the right to walk away from the decision and let the player become an unrestricted free agent. Anything under that amount, the team must accept the award. Players who have filed for arbitration cannot be given an offer sheet. The following players are still scheduled for arbitration:
Chicago Blackhawks
Chris Campoli - July 20, 2011 (Originally scheduled for August 3, 2011) (Arbitration date was pushed up because the Blackhawks were not going to accept an arbitration award) - Awarded one-year contract worth $2.5 million in arbitration (Blackhawks walked away from the award, making him an unrestricted free agent)

Shea Weber - August 2, 2011 - Awarded one-year contract worth $7.5 million in arbitration (Predators accepted the award)
