Dzingel, a restricted free agent who has filed for salary arbitration, is looking for $1.95 million on a new a deal, nearly double the $1 million being offered by the Senators, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.

Dzingel appeared in 81 games with the Senators last season, netting 14 goals and 18 assists. The 25-year-old took home $750,000 in 2016-17, according to Cap Friendly.
