RochesterExpat Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 It’s a pretty standard practice. I don’t know why we make such a big deal out of it. Only one or two players a year actually go to arbitration. In some years it’s none. And when I say “we” I mean the people on Twitter and Reddit having a meltdown that UPL filed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 The Sabres having 2 out of the NHL total of 14 guys elect arbitration, comprised of their almost-certain starting goalie and a guy they just traded a pretty valuable draft pick for, isn't a great look. I sure hope they sign both to decent contracts before those hearings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malenstyn has been in the org less than a week, has had very little time to negotiate and has to protect his bargaining position. Luukkonen has one of the best arb cases out there. Just seems like it’s about getting a fair contract. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say I have ever viewed a player opting for arbitration as a negative as it relates to team’s reputation. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably work out fine. The Ullmark debacle looms in the background though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably work out fine. The Ullmark debacle looms in the background though. I think this is the best move for all involved. The Sabres get more runway to see if UPL is “him.” UPL gets a raise and if he runs it back, will have a nice long term contract waiting for him (here or somewhere else). Swayman elected for arbitration last year and it has gone well for him. He’s about to get PAID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team knows exactly what the player will settle for and can structure a long term deal around that number. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoPuckYourself Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 I'm not quite sure how arbitration works but Joseph Woll got 3.66M then UPl should at least be 4.6M, he nearly doubled Woll in games played plus had better save % and goals against. Beck Malenstyn made 762K AAV so what will he go up to 1M at most? Not terrible imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 20 minutes ago, GoPuckYourself said: UPl should at least be 4.6M, Arbitration is usually for a 1 or 2 year deal. On a one year deal, my guess is the Sabres come in under $3.5. $4.6 is probably the area for a 4-5 year deal. We have to remember that UPL's season was his first good one in pro hockey (AHL/NHL). Malenstyn has no case. He is a 1st year NHL player at 26. If he thinks he's getting Lafferty type money he is out of his mind. The projection has him at 1.5 for a year 2 years. Her isn't worth that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
