Overview

• Both sides filed salary submissions on July 28, marking a $3.5 million difference between Samberg’s $6 million request and the Jets’ $2.5 million proposal.
• NHL arbitration can only award Samberg a one-year contract, after which he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
• The arbitration hearing is set for July 30, but both sides can negotiate a settlement until the process begins.
• Samberg achieved career highs of six goals, 14 assists and 20 points in 63 games last season, logging over 21 minutes per game despite missing 22 contests with a broken foot.
• Of 11 players who filed this offseason, only Samberg and Toronto’s Nicholas Robertson remain unsigned, underscoring the Jets’ looming roster decision.
