The process of arbitration isn’t a regular occurrence for the Dallas Stars. In fact, the last time they even came close to an arbitration case was the summer of 2014.
On July 5, 2014, the NHL released the list of players that elected for arbitration. Antoine Roussel and Cameron Gaunce, who were both Stars at the time, had not signed new contracts with Dallas and decided on arbitration.
But neither ever got to their meeting. That’s because GM Jim Nill agreed on contracts with both restricted free agents before their scheduled meeting times.
