That's the same number Sobotka's agent had said the Blues offered him prior to leaving. I know Sobotka's camp was looking for a 3M+ contract before signing in the KHL so I wonder how involved Sobotka's agent was with the arbitration or if the plan is just to stick in the KHL for the rest of his career.

How one-sided is this? I imagine Sobotka couldn't return in two decades and expect a 2.75M contract from the Blues but what's the actual ruling, anyone know?
