Totally. He's obviously trying to cash in on his one top 6-worthy season playing with Panarin, after a career of 30-35 point pace.

I don't think they will, center is by far the weakest position for the Rags. If they walk away it either means they think Granlund or Haula is an upgrade over Strome or they're willing to take on TyJo +.

How many points would Jost have had centering Panarin and Buchnevich or Kakko or whoever it was last year?
Would you rather have Jost at $3m or Strome at $5.7m?
Why am I asking these questions?

It's the offseason, in November! The combination has me in rare form.

They'd have to find a way to afford Strome at $5.7M first. So the question should be do you want Strome at $5.7M at the expense of X,Y,Z?
Strome will probably get something around $4-ish million, which is probably fine for what he brings to the table. $5.7 million is just plain ridiculous.

That's the whole game though of arbitration... aim high to raise the settling point. So many of the asks in arbitration are as ridiculous.
I figured as such, but I wish an arbitrator would just once sit down, look at one of the asks, laugh, and say "Are you kidding me?"

The interesting thing is that usually one side has an extremely low or high offer/ask, but it doesn't usually lead to the arbiter compromising in the middle.
They settle on a number based on the arguments made and the market, even if it's much closer to one side.
So the only thing these ridiculous numbers do is make one side look bad when they leak.

Still holding onto the hope of signing Mikael Granlund to a one-year deal. He’d be a really nice 3C

Not on a burgundy jersey.
Wait, what if Murzu was just being really racist towards Swedes? Cancel him.

After Columbus signs Dubois, Boston signs DeBrusk, and Chicago signs Strome, there will only be 6 teams with more than 4.8 mill in cap space (FLA, DET, OTT, NSH, LA, and NJ).
Barzal, Cirelli, and Sergachev all deserve more than 4.8 mill even as RFAs. Be interesting which of those 6 teams will help out NYI and TB with the cap space.

You say that like you have never heard of the rash caused by the Tampa Bay water.
I think things will remain quiet until the beginning of training camp, whenever that is, and then there will be a flurry of activity with signings, teams with cap space taking negative value contracts when they know the actual dollar cost and teams being able to LTIR.

I guess it would’ve depended on who they picked. But outside of Horvat, Monahan and Morrisey everyone in that range would’ve been a big downgrade.
