Could have been less to. If arbitration has been awarding all these crazy contracts it shouldn't be an issue coming up with a couple players who were awarded with 1 million dollar contracts before playing 100 games and getting 50 points, right? Because I'm drawing more or less a blank. Yet I can name countless players who have yet to establish themselves as full-time NHLers who accepted contracts in the 500,000-800,000 range.
Like I've repeated, 81 games, 11 goals, 18 assists, 29 points over 4 NHL seasons isn't exactly a stat line that makes arbitration scary, at least not for the club. The people arguing that arbitration contract could have been crazy should provide some real life examples to comparable players for Byron and not players who had 400 games played heading into the proceeding.
