The New York Rangers and Brandon Dubinsky are heading to salary-arbitration this afternoon, as the sides failed to come to a contract agreement.
The NY Post is reporting that the Rangers have elected to take on a one-year agreement, and their starting salary is $2.8million. Dubinsky's camp is asking for $4.6million.
Dubinsky, 26, will be present during the hearing, which will be heard by Elizabeth Neumeier. The Rangers case will be presented by club attorney, Cliff Hart.
The Rangers', as expected, asked for a one-year contract, which means that Dubinsky will remain a restricted-free agent next summer. Dubinsky led the team in each scoring category last season, as he registered 24 goals, 30 assists and 54 points.
Dubinsky's arbitration "reward" will likely be announced on Monday, as the arbitrator has 48 hours to make her decision.
In the meantime, the Rangers will attempt to re-sign Ryan Callahan prior to his hearing on July 28.
Here we go! Whatever reward Neumeier gives to Dubinsky, it will be a very reasonable price and the Rangers will accept it.
