NHLPA: Joe Veleno elects salary arbitration

Per the NHLPA, Red Wings forward Joe Veleno is among the 14 players who have chosen to take their teams to salary arbitration; Jonatan Berggren did not choose to do so.

The Red Wings can choose to take Berggren to arbitration if they file by tomorrow at 5 PM EDT.

Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider are too young in terms of their age and experience to have arbitration rights.

TORONTO (July 5, 2024) The National Hockey League Players’ Association announced that 14 players have elected salary arbitration: 

Jake Christiansen (Columbus Blue Jackets) 

Connor Dewar (Toronto Maple Leafs) 

Jack Drury (Carolina Hurricanes) 

Ty Emberson (San Jose Sharks) 

Jet Greaves (Columbus Blue Jackets) 

Ryan Lindgren (New York Rangers) 

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (Buffalo Sabres) 

Beck Malenstyn (Buffalo Sabres) 

Kirill Marchenko (Columbus Blue Jackets) 

J.J. Moser (Tampa Bay Lightning) 

Martin Necas (Carolina Hurricanes) 

Spencer Stastney (Nashville Predators) 

Joe Veleno (Detroit Red Wings) 

Oliver Wahlstrom (New York Islanders) 

The deadline for the second club-elected salary arbitration notification is July 6 at 5 p.m. ET. Salary arbitration hearings will be held from July 20 to Aug. 4.   

  1. If things go to arbitration, which is usually unlikely, Detroit gets to decide whether it’s a 1-year or 2-year deal that’s awarded;
  2. The Wings now have a second buy-out window opening up.
