It's a discussion. I haven't insulted everyone and I've presented my arguments.
People are talking like it's fact that Byron wasn't qualified because they feared the massive overpayment he could get in arbitration. I've asked multiple times for people to post some evidence of these overpayments fringe NHL players have received. Nobody has and the best they'll probably be able to do is Kennedy after playing a full season and even he didn't get over a million. Byron still hasn't played a full season.
Arbitration is a factor, it was also a factor in qualifying Colborne, the difference was in one side they qualified the player as they saw him as a potential future player worth the risk and in the other they didn't and were willing to risk losing him for nothing while going after UFAs.
