Playing career 
Edit
Arnott grew up playing for his hometown Wasaga Beach Stars "DD" of the OMHA. In his Bantam year, Arnott signed with the Stayner Siskins Jr.C. club of the OHA for the 1989-90 season.
In 1990-91, Arnott played Jr.B. hockey for the Lindsay Century 21 Bears of the OHA. Later that year, Arnott was selected in the 1st round (16th overall) of the 1991 OHL Priority Selection by the Oshawa Generals. The OHL Draft was held that spring in Kitchener, Ontario.
Arnott was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the 1st round (7th overall) on June 26, 1993, following an impressive tenure with the Oshawa Generals in the OHL.
In 1993-94, as a rookie, Arnott played 78 games as a left winger, scored 68 points and was the runner-up to future teammate Martin Brodeur for the Calder Memorial Trophy for rookie of the year. On January 4, 1998 Arnott was traded to the New Jersey Devils along with Bryan Muir for Valeri Zelepukin and Bill Guerin. As a member of the "A Line" on the New Jersey Devils with Patrik Eliáš and Petr Sýkora he led the team to the 2000 Stanley Cup championship, scoring the Cup-winning goal at 8:20 of double overtime in game six against the Dallas Stars.
On March 19, 2002 he was traded to the Dallas Stars with Randy McKay for Joe Nieuwendyk and Jamie Langenbrunner, a hugely unpopular trade in Dallas.
In 2005–06 Arnott had a career high 76 points for Dallas and scoring 32 goals, the most since his rookie season in which he had 33. He also set a career high of 44 assists. In the offseason, he signed a five year contract for $22.5 million with the Nashville Predators.[1]
On June 19, 2010 Arnott was traded back to his Stanley Cup winning team, the New Jersey Devils in exchange for forward Matt Halischuk and a second-round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.[2] This was the first ever trade between the Devils and the Predators. With the Devils, Arnott played alongside captain Jamie Langenbrunner, his original counterpart in his trade to the Stars in 2002.[2]
On February 28, 2011, Arnott was again traded away from the New Jersey Devils, to the Washington Capitals in exchange for Dave Steckel, and a second round pick in 2012.[3]
On March 9, 2011, Arnott recorded his 900th career point against the team that drafted him, the Edmonton Oilers in a 5-0 shutout victory.
On April 2, 2011, Arnott scored is 400th career goal in a 5-4 overtime victory against the Buffalo Sabres.
On July 6, 2011, Arnott signed a free agent contract with the St. Louis Blues.[4]
