I agree Byron was still on the radar, that much is fact. I agree that the contract is good for both sides and they had very open discussions heading into free agency. I just haven't seen evidence to suggest this was entirely because of arbitration.

Didn't they say as much? Also, no team in the entire NHL wants to go to arbitration - either team or player elected ones. It is something that is 'necessary' at times, but not something that teams wish to do.
I am not sure what point you are trying to make here, however.
