Should get around 4ish on shorter term deal, I'd say a 4-5 year deal with a 4.5-5 cap hit.
I think the Allen deal this summer is a close enough comp to work off of. Similar age and stats.
Except Allen didn't completely fall apart down the stretch.
First comparable on Mrazek's list: Jimmy Howard.
I can see why he's in arbitration given those Red Wings offers. I mean, Andersen just signed at $5 and his numbers are weaker than Mrazek's.

Yet he still put up worse numbers than Mrazek behind a far better defense. Odd.
I mean, when the club has a worse goalie making 5 million +, it's easy to ask for a lot. Sucks for Detroit though, they'll have no cap left after extending Mrazek and DDK (and LTIR'ing Franzen).
The past 2 seasons, they've been practically equivalent.

Bit of a lowball offer from the Wings.
Sure, but St. Louis' defense is miles ahead of Detroit's.
Bit of a lowball offer from the Wings.
What do they need cap for? They'll have a bajillion players signed at that point.
And what Howard is making is completely irrelevant.
Believe teams usually offer on the lower side going into an arb case.
