What's his arb case? "Dude, you sucked for SEVERAL years and you had a good spurt of 15 games...why do you deserve anymore than 900k?" and honestly, it would be quite the battle win. But may it's a no QO and you resign anyway to something. I think CBJ would be smart to bring him back and I have to imagine Nylander understands his struggles to stay up with the big boys. Have to assume he just wants a 1-2 year one-way at a cost that makes the team want to keep him up.Think I read they're more afraid of arbitration. Which still isn't all that much I believe.
I would be interested to get the NHL's take on the "reporting" lately. Someone is feeding a guy like Friedman contact discussion tidbits. Every NHL team interested is taking that in and creating their own competitive offer then just pontificating to the media "Well gosh if it was US, WE might offer something like $9.5mil!" Effectively, teams can "negotiate" and "talk to players" prior to July 1st. If the sentiment "well another team is offering XxX" is discussed by Jake's agent, I'd be waiving the flag on tampering. It clearly violates the spirit of the tampering rule even if it's not expressly forbidden.Friedman was saying during the draft that 8x8 had been on the table for a while from Carolina. Jake's intention for a while had been to test UFA though

50 pages of the SAME. EXACT. BULLSHIT. I cannot tell you how much better your HFPens experience will be if you put him on ignore like I did. You are literally missing nothing.If you're comin' to HFboards for some high brow, intellectual discourse then buddy have I got some potentially shocking news for you.
