I should change my career to an arbitrator

Maybe his resemblance to Spezza is causing some confusion.

Everything has to start somewhere.

Thought he had them fooled for sure with his number 90. Poor guy finds out weeks before his contract they were on to him whole time.

That's fine with me... Wonder when chiasson fires his agent lol

 

[Karl Eriksson]

That's fair. Hopefully he is motivated to prove he's worth more this year.

 

[KAPOW]

remember kids, arbitration only hurts your reputation

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

According to TSN, Chaisson was asking for $2.475 mil in arbitration. Not sure what his agent was thinking.

 

[Busboy]

I'm quite happy with the ruling. Must not feel too great for Chiasson to go through that process and not even receive half of his agent was asking.

Hopefully this motivates him to work hard this summer and show up to camp ready to impress.

 

[Flamingo]

That's reasonable.

Yeah, the value was on the nose. The announcement time was arbitrary. That's arbitration, though, you never know what parameter will be totally arbitrary. It's arbitrary.

LOL awesome

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

I'll never forgive him for this

 

[Bojovnik]

This could go one of two ways:

Either Chiasson becomes incredibly motivated and becomes the third line forward, potting 15-20 goals a season we've always wanted.

Or, he sulks, becomes a healthy scratch for the majority of the season and we don't see him again.

I think the latter sounds the most likely.

was just thinking this exact thing. minus the last line. i won't guess what he does till we see it. he seems like a good guy who wants to be in ottawa. well we'll find out in the next months.
(gonna need a lot of popcorn this year. should be a good one)

I'll never forgive him for this

"During Thursday’s hearings, the Senators had suggested Chiasson’s salary should be $1 million.

Chiasson, represented by agent Kent Hughes, countered with $2.475 million.

Before the hearing began, the Senators had the option of opting for either a one or two-year ruling. They chose the one-year decision."

'je me souviens'??

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

1.2 for 1 year ..... as if Chiasson could not have negotiated that....wow.

Should be easy to trade at that.

Get our 3rd back from Devils.

 

[Samboni]

The team is likely very satisfied with the decision. I bet that the Sens offered to settle for a bit more than what he got. It would appear that he got some bad advice from his agent.

 

[Benjamin]

Fair deal.

Now there's an interesting question.....

Let's say, hypothetically, the Sens offered 1.4 mil for a one year deal before the arbitration and was rejected. Now the arbiter awards 1.2 mil.

Can the Sens still sign him to 1.4? Can Chiasson legitimately go to the NHL/NHLPA and ask for 1.4? Or is the 1.2 decision set in stone?
