Marc Savard

It is that time of year when arbitration hearings start to take place. One side will be really happy, while the other will doubtless be upset in the result that is handed down. Even with these hearings taking place, the talk is still about the RFAs and UFAs still out there that have not been signed. The longer this drags on, you have to wonder if these players will just wait until after the season starts to sign. Here is the news for Thursday, July 25.
