Yup. He also uses WIN for Winnipeg for the same reason

He should start using POO for Edmonton.

Of course everybody wants the big contract with all the cheddar that goes along with it, but how many average players end up getting railroaded out of the league because contract terms end up being too high or they become replaceable very easily and for cheaper? This also has the effect of limiting their careers and their earning potential in the NHL.

I always was amazed at how a player like Rob Niedermayer, a decent player who was drafted very high, ended up having such a long career. This guy would always sign the $1-2 million dollar deals and was always in demand for his services and was able to parlay that into I believe a 20 year career? Probably made a lot more money over the course of the long-term than if he had gone for the jugular during contracts.

I remember reading about Deryk Engelend and how his agent at the time, didn't like the contract he was being offered in NJ I believe so he advised against signing. He ended up spending the next 6 years in the minors and admitted it wasn't worth it in the end.

Warrener and other players who have either sat out, had contract negotiations drag on admit years later that they should have signed right away or for the values being offered.

Curtis Glencross was rumored to have wanted something like a 5X5 deal. He was probably closer to a 3 years at $10 mil, a decent raise over his previous deal. In the end the market squeezed him out and he probably ended up NOT making $13+ million Canadian in gross earnings. Some legit figures here for ordinary people who come from ordinary families.

GLEncorss was also a player who should have went UFA on the previous deal he could have had a 3yr x 4 mil dollar deal instead of the 4yr x 2.5mil deal and been hitting his final contract a year earlier.

Why do people always skip the fact Glencross took a NTC (or was it even an NMC) on that deal. He got something that was apparently really important to him in exchange for some of that money he left on the table. Players like Glencross don’t get NTCs unless they pay for them.

Kulak clears waivers

[cannon7]

I can't imagine Kulak is asking for more than a one way deal. I think Treliving is more worried about what an arbitrator might award.

[David Struch]

Alex Chiasson & Joe Colborne were not even offered qualifying offers.

[getbak]

Wow, they're pretty far apart (even though it's not much difference in real dollars)...

It will probably split the difference and come in around $900,000.

@FriedgeHNIC: Arbitration for Monday: Kulak (CAL) — player ask is $1.15M. Team offer is a two-way w/$650K at NHL level.
