After a strong rookie season with the Arizona Coyotes, Jack McBain is scheduled for an arbitration hearing to determine future contract.
Arizona Coyotes center Jack McBain's salary arbitration hearing is set for July 30.
In most of these cases, a third-party arbitrator helps negotiate a fair contract between the expiring restricted free agent and the team.
However, McBain and the Coyotes could agree on a new contract prior to the scheduled hearing.
McBain was drafted by the Minnesota Wild with the 63rd overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft but was traded to Arizona on March 20, 2022.
The 23-year-old had 12 goals, 14 assists and 26 points in 82 games this past season for the Coyotes.
It should be interesting to see how this situation unfolds with McBain and the Coyotes. After a strong rookie campaign, it's critical Arizona prioritizes keeping the young center.
