Rick Dhaliwal: Safe to assume that Troy Stecher will file for salary arbitration today as it doesn’t appear that the sides will reach a deal beforehand. The Vancouver Canucks and Stecher’s camp will continue to talk before their potential hearing date is set.
Murray Pam: Can expect that defenseman Cody Ceci and forward Mark Stone will both file before today’s deadline. That would open the second buyout window for the Senators once one of the players sign, or goes through arbitration. The next window would be for 48 hours.
