The Flames had been struggling to sign their star and Captain, Joe Nieuwendyk to a new contract. The Flames and Nieuwendyk had reached an impass and things weren’t going anywhere. Calgary offered Nieuwendyk a 3 year deal after an arbitrator awarded him a 1 year $1.85 million dollar deal, but he declined.

So the arbitrator made a decision, and Joe declined? I didn’t think they could decline it. Seems he held out, and wanted a new better contract.
