Does it? I thought it would give them more time to negotiate a trade or work out a contract than if Chucky just signed his QO at any point.
Doesn't going to arbitration just mean, if they don't like the trade market now and decide they want the year, then they just go to arbitration, arbitrator awards a 1 year contract and they can go down that path.
Don't think the Flames filling for Arbitration did anything but extend the time they have to work on a trade prior to a 1 year contract being signed, or do I not get it (very pausible)?
