What does this mean exactly?

Means said player and agent goes into a room with an Arbitrator (a legal type guy that makes the decision) and said team and the said player and agent makes a case for wanting $X and said team makes a case for paying the said player $Y.

Based on the strength of argument made by the two sides, Arbitrator will make a decision on how much money the said team has to pay the said player. If the amount is not to the said team's liking, the said team can say "screw it" and let the said player become a UFA. The said player is essentially stuck with the amount of money the Arbitrator "awards" the said player.

Deals are for one year and at the end of the term, the said player becomes either a RFA or UFA depending on his status as defined by the CBA. If said player is a RFA at the end of the deal, they go through the same process (if that's what the player wants to do) until the said player becomes a UFA.

That's sort of how I know salary arbitration to work. For all intents and purposes, I can be talking out of my @$$ (which I'm known to do) since I'm not a player agent or hockey management type.
