Arbitration Calculator

Salary arbitration is a contract negotiation method that uses a third party arbitrator to determine a fair contract term and length for an expiring RFA player. Arbitration can be requested if a player meets the following conditions (CBA Reference 12.1 (b)):
- The player qualifies as a Restricted Free Agent (RFA)
- The player has not signed an offer sheet
- The player has met the required professional years of experience, as shown in the list below
Eligibility for salary arbitration is dependent on entry-level signing age, and professional experience (CBA Reference 12.1 (a)):
- 18-20: 4 years professional experience.
- 21: 3 years professional experience.
- 22-23: 2 years professional experience.
- 24 and older: 1 year professional experience.
-Signing age is the age the player is on September 15 of the year they signed their contract, unless they turn 20 from September 16-December 31, in which case they are considered 20.
-Players aged 18 or 19 are considered to have completed a year of professional experience when they have played 10 or more NHL games in that season. Players aged 20 or older have completed a year of professional experience when they have played 10 games in a professional league, while under an SPC.
