It just seems so random to have one potentially making 50k more than the other when neither have proven anything yet. I see it all the time where a handful of prospects/young players in similar career situations/talent sign and they are generally for differing amounts. Why would unknowns like this not all have the same/similar qualifying offers. Is it just the work of their agent negotiating better deals or what?

Thanks in advance.
Without looking any of this up, I would assume bvb's offer was higher because he signed for more on his elc due to being a free agent rather than a drafted prospect like Arnold. Since his initial elc was higher, the minimum raise on his qualifying offer was higher.

I may be out to lunch on this one though.

And THEY bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
