That's big gap between two completely different contracts lol... Sorry I think Jake is nuts for asking for a 1.7M 1 way contract

He's not nuts. This is how arbitration works. They'll meet somewhere in the middle. But first Walman has to talk his game up, and the Wings have to talk his game down. Walman's first priority is a one way contract
...Sounds like you think they'll meet somewhere in the middle on a 1 way contractHe’s proven exactly Jack and shit since playing in the NHL. He’s a #6/7 Dman right now.
1.7????? I understand how this works, but Walman hasn't proven anything at the NHL level to warrant 1.7
He has nothing to lose by asking that.He’s proven exactly Jack and shit since playing in the NHL. He’s a #6/7 Dman right now.
Yeah, sounds about correct. Biggest question is one or two way.Evolving-hockey estimated:
971k for 1-year
997k for 2-year
Average 984k.
I think it's a low-ball offer from the team side, but also moronic to ask 1.7M from player side.
Could them ending very near of that 984k. Arbitrator has been very realistic and team-friendly on latest settlements.
I wonder if Yzerman walks away from this contract if there is an arbitration award greater than 1 mil. He has enough bodies at this point.

Guessing they'll meet around $1.1M on a 1-way deal.
I bet he does if it's one way. Walman is going to miss at least half the season anyways.I wonder if Yzerman walks away from this contract if there is an arbitration award greater than 1 mil. He has enough bodies at this point.
Don't care how these things work. RIDICULOUS that a player is asking 1.7 for at most half a season of play when they had 10 pts in 51 GP last year and will be coming off an injury/surgery when they do play.
I want to point out that if it does go to arbitration, they cannot make a deal at that point and the award is a one year deal.I think 950k on a two way is fair, I could see it being more like 1.2 after arbitration. I wouldn't be thrilled, but it's hardly the end of the world, especially thinking back to some of the D they iced these past few seasons with injuries.
