Good for him! I didn't think he had enough of a case on stats alone to get that much more than the Preds' filing. But $400k in the AHL and a 1-way in Year 2 would be very fair.

He should be in the NHL both years, just if the Preds end up with a numbers game with other guys who aren't waiver exempt like he is, or need to try to sneak under the Cap with a short roster, he could end up in Milwaukee again to start this season. At least he'll have $400k to help cushion any such injustice.

Yes I am glad the arbitrator gave a large AHL contract. So not as big of a blow.

The AHL portion of contract just tells me the Arbiter was pretty close to just giving him 1 way on both years.

He can buy a really nice cushion to make those bus rides more comfortable

I'm guessing he's not related to Paul Stastny given the way he spelles his name.

He wanted to prove Americans can add unnecessary vowels to words, too.

Another good draft pick by the preds. Really wanted the Avs to take him in the draft.
