I'm hoping we see him, Robertson and Emberson a decent amount in pre-season. I'm curious how they all stack up against better competition. One of them turning into a bottom-pairing guy would be a nice win

Dom's model seriously has this contract as a D? A two way deal with no downside?

 

[Mike in Houston]

I was worried there for a second.

$100k AHL is pretty good. It’s wild that there is such a huge salary difference from AHL to NHL. I get that it’s dictated by revenue. But average AHLer makes $50k a year. Artemi Panini makes 232x the average AHLer!

One person uses hyperbole as a joke, the other person uses it seriously and thinks he's the biggest genius in the world as a result.

I swear that “model” has a “is it the rangers?” parameter that tanks the score

haters gonna hate

never said I was the biggest
never said, like lest effin President, that it was all about me,
or that my work is '"perfect".

judge me fairly, on the basis of my work

You have to keep in mind that the model is measuring surplus value.

At his ceiling, Scanlin isn't providing value.

Trouba better take a good look around, theyre gunning for his job. They just need to practice the slamming of the helmet.

There has got to be more to this story no? Arbitration to eventually settle on a minimum deal? This had to be some sort of roster management move right?

Don't arbitration awards generally come with a raise?

He was on a 2 year $925k NHL deal that was only paying him $80k in the minors. As it's player elected arbitration, the team could conceivably choose if the awarded dollar figure was good for 1 or 2 years. This would have locked Scanlin in on his deal at a higher NHL cap hit, possibly hindering his chances at a NHL assignment with cap crunch this year and also been locked in to a 2 year deal possibly with a smaller AHL salary for 2 years.

I think this is another example of the player understanding that while his NHL cap hit may have gone down, it gives him a better chance to see NHL time along with the tradeoff being that his AHL salary, should that opportunity not arise went up $20k. That and he is a RFA next year again.

Scanlin didn't get an arbitration award (he and the team agreed to a contract prior to the hearing. However, most players get raises due to the fact that arbitration is most often elected by NHL players who are due raises.

Scanlin was never going to get a raise on the 925k given that he has yet to play in the NHL. He only got the 925k originally because that is standard operating procedure for coveted UDFAs.

But you're right that he and his agent were smart in that they took the minimum NHL salary and pushed for more AHL salary. The last thing he wants is to miss out on a call up due to team cap constraints.

For the people who have watched him, Is there a chance he can be a Girardi type? Stylistically speaking

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

Artemi Panini makes 232x the average AHLer!

That's worth it. He scores 232x as many goals in a 7 game NHL playoff series as the average AHLer.

The next Kravtsov

Like Bobby Orr and Ray Bourque all in one player, amiright?!?

 

[JHS]

Even this guy signs before Laf—.
