Looks to me like the agent decided on the angle of getting the salary above the bury in the AHL limit instead of making his client favourable to fit the roster for cap concerns.
I see why both make sense, but I think he picked the one least likely to succeed and with that has painted himself into a corner.
Now the arbitrator will come in midpoint (especially with waivers) and his client will be neither a) above the AHL line or b) cheaper than Valimaki
That's a mistake in my mind.
