Kapanen files for salary arbitration

Penguins restricted free agent Kasperi Kapanen filed for salary arbitration ahead of Sunday's 5 p.m. deadline.

This summer's salary arbitration hearings will be held from July 27 through Aug. 11. An exact schedule of hearings will be announced at a later date.

Salary arbitration is a way for players and teams to settle contract disputes. An arbitrator listens to the case from both the player and team and sets the player's salary. Both the team's side and the player's side must submit all evidence which will be used in the hearing 48 hours before the hearing.
