I accept all of those, if it is not to late I'd like to change the length of the contracts. I arbitrarily typed 3 yrs for everyone, but either way it's cool.

If you let me change them:

Budish = max length (4 yrs amirite?) + TO
Tyrell = max length + TO
Wolski = 2 yrs + TO

Jets GM · Post by **Jets GM** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 4:53 pm

Just saw that max is 3 + TO, so everything is cool except Wolski, I'd like 2yrs + TO.

Contracts offered.

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Sun Jun 17, 2012 7:49 pm

An award has been determined in the Martin Brodeur arbitration.

Terms: 1 yr
GM proposal: 4.25M; comps: Nabokov, Kiprusoff (GM offered TO with contract, but Brodeur is set to auto-retire at age 41)
Agent proposal: 5.5M; comps: Kiprusoff

One final year in the EHEC sun for, arguably, the best goaltender the world has ever seen. Brodeur will retire next season and it's important to keep in mind that his ice time is rather limited in EHEC because regression is inevitable. The game usually retires goaltenders long before this and it'll be interesting to see how the sim engine reacts to a goaltender north of age 40.

It's interesting that both parties used Kiprusoff as a comp. From a GM standpoint, Kiprusoff isn't the kind of player you want to be attached to because he's been playing at his NHL salary and it's safe to say that there are better goalies in the file making less than that. The going rate for most goaltenders seems to be around the 4.5M range in arbitration.

However, none of those goalies have the leadership capabilities that Brodeur has. If his workload is limited, the GM can easily pick and choose the spots where Brodeur is used. On one hand, that's a luxury. It may be a costly luxury, but it's a luxury nonetheless.

Brodeur has a Cup, Nabokov just won one. It's clear that goaltenders with high CON and high LE are worth their weight in gold. That said, Brodeur is definitely not the same 5.2M player because of his limited workload, however, his play is still top notch.

I award Martin Brodeur an even $5,000,000 for his final season.

Justin, you can accept/reject the award.

Not sure if Chucko will take that deal. He wants 1.6M in game. But contracts offered.

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 10:07 am

An award has been determined in the Marty Reasoner arbitration.

Length: 1 + TO
GM proposal: 800k, one-way contract; comps: Eaves, Goc, Bonk
Agent proposal: 1.2M ; comps: McClement, Betts

The GM in this case gave a very strong argument, discrediting all of Reasoner's perceived strengths. With 80 FA, he still lost 56% of his draws. The league-wide LE boost does take away some of the value of Reasoner's 78 LE, but on a very young team, despite his small role, I think it's still important. Justin argued that LE has less value for guys playing in a minor role. I've never seen evidence of that, and I'm not calling him a liar, but it's worth mentioning that only 19-year-old Ryan Murray has more LE on the Lightning roster than Reasoner does. They're a very young team and Reasoner will be the lone elder statesman.

Reasoner may start to see a drop in his attributes throughout this season and certainly through next season. He's easy to cut the cord with financially, but he does have value and will continue to have value for a Lightning team that is paying a bulk of its cap to the top four or five players on the team. Because he's being offered a one-way contract and possibly some security for next season, a slight decrease in salary seems fair, especially given the mentoring role he knows he will be taking on.

I award Reasoner one year at 950k per with a team option.

Justin, you can accept/reject this award.

Olvecky, Hutchings, Rowat, Salcido, Bernier, Aulie, Dixon all one year offers, if they formula allows them to play in the AHL. TO and 2-way. Thanks for the reminder.

25% increase to a handful of them with 60+ average. If not, offer in game.

Rowat wanted 2 years, so I left off the TO.

Jets GM · Post by **Jets GM** » Sun Jul 07, 2013 11:25 pm

Cam Fowler, Patrick Nemeth, Dalton Smith (and most likely Tyler Segiun when he signs) need to have either an additional year added to their contract, or a TO.

I asked for max length with a TO, which is 3 years with a TO or 4 years without to my knowledge. Currently the contracts are listed at 4 years, but this is before the rollover when a year is taken off the current deal. After the rollover, they will have 3 years remaining with no team options. This would mean the new contract they just signed was for only three seasons, with no team options. I'm fine with either an additional year being added or a TO, whatever is easier.

Thanks.

ps. Hopefully Hakanpaa's deal was also for max length with team option?
