NHL, NHLPA Agree On Industry Veteran Shyam Das As New Arbitrator

The NHL and NHLPA have agreed to appoint veteran arbitrator Shyam Das as their neutral discipline arbitrator. Das replaces James Oldham, a Georgetown Law School professor who was dismissed by the NHL after he reduced Flames D Dennis Wideman's 20-game suspension last season to 10 games. Oldham was dismissed on July 1; the NHL CBA gives either side the right to terminate the arbitrator for any reason or no reason.

Das has a 40-year history as a labor arbitrator and was the arbitrator who heard disputes between MLB and the MLBPA from '99-'12. Das also has served as an arbitrator for the NFL and NFLPA, but has not previously worked hearing hockey disputes.
