The team can still walk away from the ruling at which they become a UFA. The Sens just cut away all the wasted effort. The team can ONLY walk away if the award is over ~$4.1MM. And the team can only walk away from 1 of every 2 arbitration awards. If the arbitrator were to give him a megaraise, they'd be hosed. Edited October 8, 2020 by Taro T 1 Quote

dudacek Posted October 8, 2020 Report Posted October 8, 2020 The UFA list tomorrow morning is going to be a lot longer than it looked like it was going to be last week. Quote

Or, at least the risk of this level of award is higher than not. Quote

If the award is that high, the risk is minimal (unless only 1 other guy actually has a hearing and then they may have to live w/ 1 bad award) but if the award is just below that AND he is slotted to be 3rd line rather than 2nd then that kind of award gives them a $4MM+ player on every line AND at least the top 2 D pairings. You eat up an internal cap awfully quick doing that. (Heck an $81.5MM cap gets eaten up quickly that way.) Quote

dudacek Posted October 8, 2020 Report Posted October 8, 2020 Cliff Pu on the move again, from Florida to Columbus for Nuutivara. Would have liked him at that price. Quote

They could end up having to pay him a million a year more than they have him valued at. If his agent is asking say 3.9-4.0 then let him hit the market. I would be surprised if he will get close to that when teams are cutting people. Quote

sabresparaavida Posted October 8, 2020 Report Posted October 8, 2020 I like that because of how terrible that trade was already, and now that contract as well makes it worse. It does scare me about Reinhart’s contract though... Quote

nfreeman Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Boy, the habs really went all in on Anderson. I would've liked him on the Sabres, but that is a really big contract. Quote
