shrader Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'd be curious to see how many times a traded player actually went to an arbitration hearing with his brand new team. I can't imagine it's too common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Lehner signs for one year per Sabres Twitter. Now I'm wondering what the Sabres offered Lehner initially if a one year deal is enough to avoid arbitration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm wondering what the Sabres offered Lehner initially if a one year deal is enough to avoid arbitration. 1x4 mill I hear. and still keeps him as RFA. If he does well this year he'll get the long term deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 That's a fair deal, he gets a 27% raise for a decent year but it's a 1 year deal to prove if he's really a #1 or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Lehner signs for one year per Sabres Twitter. Now I'm wondering what the Sabres offered Lehner initially if a one year deal is enough to avoid arbitration. Is there some limitation on the term of a deal in this situation (1 or 2 year deals), or is that only after an arbitration award? I like the deal for many reasons, not the least of which is Lehner's pretty clearly betting on himself. I have to think he could have had more guaranteed money based on a prior offer (unless the Sabres all along had only been offering a 1-year deal (seems unlikely)). But taking the 1-year deal means he's confident he is going to have a very good year. Also, Tom Golisano approves of this contract. :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the arbitration award is limited to 1 or 2 years (& 2 years is only an option if there are at least 2 years left of RFA eligibility; an arbitrated deal won't cut into UFA years).

LikeEich Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Didn't file for arbitration but hopefully Girgensons gets a deal soon. Wouldn't mind seeing a cost effective longer term, if he'd go for it Edited July 25, 2017 by LikeEich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
