Forward Andrew Copp and newly-acquired defenceman Neal Pionk have salary arbitration dates set for later this month in Toronto; Copp July 21 and Pionk July 24.
The vast majority of restricted free agents who opt for arbitration don't usually get to a hearing because their contracts are usually resolved in advance. Copp and Pionk were among 40 RFAs who filed last week.
