From Bill Meltzer:

DEL ZOTTO ARBITRATION DATE SET

The National Hockey League Players Association announced the dates for all upcoming arbitration hearings for NHL players. Barring a negotiated settlement beforehand, Flyer defenseman Michael Del Zotto case will be heard in Toronto on July 21. The ruling must be made within 48 hours of the conclusion of the hearing.

Under NHL rules, because the arbitration filing was made by the player, the Flyers do not have to accept the ruling if the arbitrator rules in favor of Del Zotto and awards a salary above $3,799,887 for the 2015-16 season. In that case, Del Zotto would become an unrestricted free agent.

Most arbitration rulings result in one-year contracts but two-year awards are possible.

Throughout the negotiations with Del Zotto, who is represented by Newport Sports Management, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall has repeatedly characterized the talks as amicable and said that he expects a deal to get done.

From Bill Meltzer:

...Hakstol fully intends to implement a highly structured system that, if anything, is more rigidly imposed than Berube's. Part of what cost "Chief" his job was a perceived tendency to cut a little too much slack to his top offensive forwards to overstay shifts and take risks. The "equal accountability for everyone" theme, especially in terms of discipline with and without the puck, is going to repeated constantly by Hakstol.

I spent some of my day-off time watching the 1985 Stanley Cup finals. Great to see Wayne Gretzky playing and all those players with the Flyers. Was fun to watch.

This dude is such a classy dude. He will always have a place in my top 5 all-time favorite Flyers. Very happy that he had his day back in his hometown and had a solid showing as well. Thanks for the read buddy.

I just wish he could've gotten his cup with us a couple years back it would've been sweeter.

I can think of many former Flyers I wished won a cup with our sweater. Unfortunately we have not won since the mid 70s. We are due very soon I believe. I think we have the correct personnel in place. I'm thinking about 3-4 years out.

He's going to get paid well. How much, no idea?

I like it. It would take a lot of luck and my honest opinion here is that everyone would have to be having a career year. The defense is still going to struggle. Can Mase duplicate another season like last? I guess anything can happen.
