That article about PLD is pretty funny if true. Only went to draft because he assumed Montreal would trade for him.

From everything I read about him he is what we all were saying we needed. Hopefully he can play a full season in too 4 minutes though.

A Bogosian scowl but actually capable of playing 60% of the season?

"Club Elected:
A player who has been elected for salary arbitration in the first window is eligible to receive an Offer Sheet
A player who has been elected for salary arbitration in the second window is eligible to receive an Offer Sheet; however, the player has until July 5th at 5:00pm EST to sign the Offer Sheet

Player Elected:
A player who has elected for salary arbitration is not eligible to receive an Offer Sheet"

I know the Flames tweeted that he was ineligible for an offer sheet, cap friendly faq says otherwise.

2nd window, believe those are regular dates, not covid adjusted

This part if also significant:

Club offer for Arbitration in the second window equal to or higher than the Players previous years combined base salary, signing bonuses and performance bonuses

The way I read that his arb is guaranteed to be at least equal to his QO.

Pretty much saying that you are staying for now and doesn't matter what the Arbitrator numbers are.

Normally a #1 gets max bonuses. He didn't get close. Beniers got exactly the same. McTavish got a lot more. This year, Slaf got the max. I don't have an explanation.
