Hopefully the Flames win the case.

I've never really understood this attitude from fans. Arbitration is one of the few negotiating powers players have during their RFA years. If they're not happy with the offers they're getting they can file for arbitration, hold out, or request a trade, or sign an offer sheet. That's it.
For some reason people think players should just take whatever teams offer them, and be happy they're getting anything at all.
