Arbitration begins on July 27th and runs to August 11th, so a hearing could occur any time between those dates.
Something has happen before a hearing (he is traded or signed) or the Flames are screwed. If it gets to arbitration, the arbitrator could award a 1-year deal worth more than what his QO would have been, plus the Flames would either have walk away from it for nothing, or accept it and be unable to trade him.
This is for all the marbles.
