An award has been determined in the Alex Auld arbitration case.

Terms: 2 years
GM comps & proposal: 600K; Hackett, Lehner
Agent comps & proposal: 650K; too many

Pretty simple case here; Auld is an average backup or AHL-level goalie. He brings some quality and experience to the role, and as such deserves a small cost-of-living raise. I award him 650K for 2 years.

Liam, you can accept/reject this award.

[BLUESGM]

I accept.

Determinations have been made for the army of players STL took to arbitration:

Claude Giroux:
...team offer of 3.4 mill for 4 years is within the threshold set by the arbitrator.

Brad Boyes:
...team offer of 4.0 mill for 2 years is within the threshold set by the arbitrator.

Derek Morris:
...team offer of 3.75 mill for 2 years is within the threshold set by the arbitrator.

Erik Johnson:
...team offer of 4.8 mill for 4 years is within the threshold set by the arbitrator.

Steve Mason:
...team offer of 5.1 mill for 4 years is within the threshold set by the arbitrator.

Liam, you (eventually) went 5-0. This may be a new record. All five players will be signed for the above terms.

I spent a lot of time comparing and was ready to go. A little bit of mixed signals slowed me down. But once I noticed those lights were green, I NAILED IT! lol

thanks guys. I promise I will have a better understanding for when this same thing happens next season.

Was wondering. I would like to invite all my prospects to camp, is that done here? I know I'm late, completely slipped my mind
