From Mark Zwolinkski of the Toronto Star:
Fletcher will likely have Frogren in training camp under the contract the two sides signed a little over a week ago that will pay Frogren $2.1 million over two years.
The deal – which reportedly came with a $700,000 signing bonus – was rejected by the NHL July 9.
Yesterday afternoon, after 5 p.m., the players’ association notified the league of its plans to grieve the league’s decision. The process is expected to be lengthy – the grievance likely won’t be heard until some time into next season.
Frogren will be allowed to play under terms of the current deal until the standoff is settled.
