The NHL Arbitration system is poorly set up.
In MLB, each side puts forth a position, and one of the two must be chosen. It makes both put forth reasonable positions.
Each NHL arb. last year had the exact middle of the two positions chosen, which strikes me as the arbitrators being somewhat weak in their stance, and afraid to rock the boat by taking a stance.
Treliving does not dislike players who file for arbitration, he dislikes the current system and process of it.
