Speculation: 2016 Salary Arbitration Tracker (players and dates in OP)

[PBandJ]

Jordan Weal played 14 NHL games last season and scored 0 points.

I have no idea what his agent plans to present at his arbitration hearing.

"He's a very nice guy and a good father and deserves more money"?

 

[belair]

You must not understand the arbitration process.

The correct answer is 'yes, but it has nothing to do with the arbitration process'.

 

[dracom]

Lindholm must be close to signing. I'm surprised he didn't file.

Lindholm and Rakell are not eligible for arbitration. Murray actually stated he wanted to get the RFAs that were dealt with first (Vatanen and Andersen).

Surprised as well. Also, I noticed Kucherov's name was missing. There must be an advantage the players think they have by not filing.

Ah, that would explain it then.

I could have sworn he was arb eligible. I guess not?

"He's a very nice guy and a good father and deserves more money"?

"I give you....Jordan Weal!!! He skates, he shoots, he passes and he looks just like a professional hockey player...but he's half the size!!!"

 

[mytduxfan*]

No Lindholm?

He knows he'll get more if he doesn't go to arbitration or what? Why wouldn't you file? Must be a reason.

Lindholm must be close to signing. I'm surprised he didn't file.

Lindholm didn't have arb rights. You have to have played in 4 NHL seasons. I believe it's 3 if you signed a contract after 20 years of age. Hence, Frederik Andersen also had arb rights despite only playing in 3 NHL seasons.

Jordan Weal played 14 NHL games last season and scored 0 points.

I have no idea what his agent plans to present at his arbitration hearing.

Flyers: "We would like to pay Weal xxx amount of money. He barely played and made no impact when he did, but we kind of like him, and hope he can someday develop."

Arbitrator: "OK, gotcha, alrighty Mr. Weal, what's your case?"

Weal's agent: "..."

Arbitrator: "Sir, it's your turn."

Weal's agent: "Honestly, I got nuthin. Can we just get more money, though?"

 

[LastWordArmy]

are you sure about this? I thought once the hearing starts he cant be traded..
Up until the hearing he could..

He can be traded.

you are confusing this with an offer sheet.

1) no one can sign him to an offer sheet now that arbitration has been elected for.
2) if it was an offer sheet that is matched, he can't be traded for a year.


There is nothing that stops a team trading a player before or after arbitration.

 

[SEALBound]

That's really gonna suck for a couple teams...

 

[LastWordArmy]

No Lindholm?

Not eligible. Need 4 Pro seasons to be eligible for arb.

Good to know, thank you.

wrong

Yeah, no. He's right and youre most definitely wrong.

His comparables are guys like OEL, Hamilton, Leddy, Josi, Klingberg, etc. If he gets over $6m, I'd be surprised.

I wouldn't, Barrie had 2 full seasons with more points (~10) than any of those players before they signed their current contracts. I wouldn't bat an eye if the arbitrator gave him 6.5+. Unfortunately for the Avs, these cases favor offensive production and Barrie has it.

I really don't see 6.5 when Yandle and Goligoski didn't get that as UFA's. I think 4 is probably what he gets.

 

[Rebuilt]

Give him his 9 mil and call it a day. 9mil for 1 year then he can walk as a UFA.

 

[Rebuilt]

As if someone is going to trade for the guy without even knowing what the arbitration award is going to be. Avs should just re sign the guy.

Hell give him 8 years . Keep him. Please.

Seems like an overpayment for Weal, but what do I know?

 

[domiwroze]

no it isnt, as of right now barrie cannot be traded until he has a contract. its actually simple.

like av fans have been saying all along, sakic wants barrie to stay. now he is staying. at worst they will sign him and trade whatever the arbitrator awards. players like barrie dont get walked away from.

He can be traded. It's actually simple.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Oilers should have sent an offersheet to Barrie when they had the chance, unless they did and Barrie wouldn't sign.

 

[suddeninterest]

I really don't see 6.5 when Yandle and Goligoski didn't get that as UFA's. I think 4 is probably what he gets.

Neither of those players actually hit the open UFA market. Also, Krug just got 5.25.

LOL because a few days before UFA market is a big difference. Krug's 5.25 is a decent comparable, I think Barrie gets about that much.
