Clock is ticking, wonder if they'll actually hit the arbitration hearing tomorrow.
Btw, for any not aware: Mrazek is the sole team-elected salary arbitration this summer. All the others were player-elected.
Most have expected them to get there for a while now.
They are going to compare him to Gibson as the big starting point, probably Vasy in Tampa.
It will be interesting to see how contentious this gets. He is critical to the future so you don't want to put the guy in tears. But for everyone saying Howard, I am sure his agent can try, but it won't work that well when they sit in front of the arbitrator more than likely. But I don't think Wings fans will be upset if he gets his two years and 10 million. Heck if he wanted to use the Howard logic, he should have demanded 5.5 per. Anderson's deal also buys out UFA years. They are not ideal for Mrazek's side as some would think.
We had a poster put up the salaries comparable in terms of bridges for RFA guys that were similar and if I remember right most were closer to the Wings number than Mrazek and I don't think anybody cleared 4 million at that point.
