I meant in the context of the person i quoted.The decision of the arbitrator is final and must be abided by.
what does he mean by binding arbitration has already been set? the arbitration hearing hasn't happened yet?

Did Ceci or Toronto file for arbitration? Because if it's Ceci, Toronto can le him walk as a UFA if they want to.

As I understand it, if Ceci has started the arbitration process the Leafs can walk away at anything over 4.5M, anything under that and it's binding
I wouldn't think the Leafs opted for arbitration, if they did the contract number is binding no matter what it is
That's how I understand it anyway
If they really sign Ceci at 4.5m, that leaves only 6.5m for Marner....
Nope
You can fit Ceci at 4.5M, Kerfoot at 3.4M and Marner at 10M (ballpark numbers) if you use LTIR and send scrubs down until you get to a 22-23 man roster
Indeed but then 10M is the highest you can do when using the whole LTIR.
They shoulda just walked away from him , they're still digging their own grave..
What confuses me is why didn't he just sign the qualifying offer. He got super lucky with the arbitrator last time valuing ice time so highly , this could ruin him if it allows the leafs to dump him.Curious how you think Toronto is going to walk away when Ottawa qualified him and he hasn't gone to arbitration yet.
I guess he doesn't hate becoming a UFA.What confuses me is why didn't he just sign the qualifying offer. He got super lucky with the arbitrator last time valuing ice time so highly , this could ruin him if it allows the leafs to dump him.
Signing the qualifying offer would be a one year deal sending him to ufa anyways , I guess he has high hopes for himself cuz idk if anyone gives him over 4 for this coming year, seems more like a prove it contract type of guy .I guess he doesn't hate becoming a UFA.
That's still the best way to make bank.
Leafs have 16.4 mil in cap space, if you include Horton once he goes on the LTIR. Take 4.5 away for Ceci and they got 11.9 left. Lots.If they really sign Ceci at 4.5m, that leaves only 6.5m for Marner....
For someone who has no idea about Ceci, what does he play like? Stay at home, puck mover? Has he been bad a long time or since the sens have had a downturn? Is there really no chance he could turn it around and be decent for the money on a good team?
I never thought after watching Ceci he was a true offensive defenceman. I don't know how many goals you are expecting out of him but he doesn't seem to sometimes read the ice well or look for sticks. New coach might help him but I think its a bit of an overpayment at anything over 3Mif he plays in the 2nd pairing with Muzzin he'll be fine
Muzzin can do the heavy lifting and Ceci will be the more offensive guy
he was paired for a time with both Methot and Phaneuf and did the offensive work and wasn't bad, when he's expected to do the real defensive work that's when his game gets scattered
Ceci probably gets over 4.5 in arbitration if it goes there. Leafs are probably hoping so.

Must admit, I am 100% indifferent to Ceci being on the team or not
I guess as a Sens fan you need something to cheer for....Not me, I want to see him on the Leafs cap
