Troy Terry’s arbitration date is a week today.

Find it hard to believe a Super Star may be going to arbitration when the Ducks have $28M in cap space and need to spend $8M just to get to the cap floor.

Dang, good thing Bills don’t play on Thanksgiving Day. Games are great, but lost Von last year and White the year before.

Maybe because he isn't a super star?

He's not 22. He'll be 26 by the time the season starts and he regressed last year to a whopping 23 goals and 61 points.

Couple of things

1) Theyve also got to handle Zegras' new deal. And Im guessing theyll want to make sure Terry's number comes in low enough to be able to negotiate a friendlier deal with Zegras.

2) That team bleeds money and its only gotten worse post pandemic I think. If Terry for instance wants a deal with a heavier bonus structure, that could be a hold up as that org doesn't typically structure contracts that way.

Good player for sure. Super Star is a bit much.

Yeah he's a very good player, but Cozens had 7 more points, is 4 years younger and even he's not a super star, not even close.

61 points on the Ducks though is a 80+ points on an actual hockey team.

Totally agree. Would be a nice player to play on Cozens line though.

JT Miller scored 82 on the Canucks, that's like 140 on an actual hockey team.

JT Miller is not a super star.

JT Miller is also a PP merchant.

Troy Terry is one of the top 5v5 forwards in the league while doing it on a team actively tanking the last two seasons.

In 145 games the past two seasons he has 128 points good for (0.882 PPG). Only 27 of those points came on the power play.

That’s 73 points a season on a team that doesn’t score a whole lot with most of the damage coming at even strength, while being very good defensively.

We’ll be interesting to see it play out over the course of the next week.
