The NHL players association has announced 24 players have filed for salary arbitration, which is when a player does not feel like they are earnings a fair salary with their contract. Via Forbes, what does it mean when a player filed for salary arbitration?

What does it mean when a player files for arbitration? An arbitration-eligible player can elect to take his club to arbitration. A player will do this if he does not believe the club is offering fair market value for his
services. A GM can also use the arbitration process and bring a player to an arbitration hearing.
