If Ganger went to arbitration it he'd get a one year deal and then become a 24 year old UFA next summer. You don't think he'd get more than that as a UFA next year when the cap goes up? The short term us also a win for the oilers. They are basically getting him for his prime years and then another team will overpay for him as a UFA.
