Seems pretty perfect. Everyone gets what they want. Heck, give him the 5 years 1st. Lol.2 years 3, 1 year 4, 2 years 5. Done.

I thought he was UFA after this oneOne year deal and he'll be an rfa again next year. They must want him to prove last year wasn't a fluke before signing him long term. He might want to prove he deserves more money on a long term deal.
2 years, but the arbitrator can award 2 years. I do not know what determines 1 or 2 years awards.I thought he was UFA after this one
Team elected arbitration but not sure who gets to pick the term. I think it’s the player.2 years, but the arbitrator can award 2 years. I do not know what determines 1 or 2 years awards.
Like to see him sign before and would be happy with an 8 year, $30M deal get done.
I believe this was player elected and therefore team chooses term. They'll choose 1 year to keep his rfa status.Team elected arbitration but not sure who gets to pick the term. I think it’s the player.

- The party (Player or Club) who did not elect for Arbitration decides on the awarded term [CBA 12.10(a)&(b)]
I was holding on to hope that both sides would agree on a long term deal before the hearing. Now that I understand Bill chose a 1 year term and seeing how low he went on the offer, I'm confident that Crouse will be traded at the deadline.Crouse actually elected arbitration, so according to the CBA it would have been Armstrong that elected for a single year.
It makes more sense to me to do a sign and trade right now.I was holding on to hope that both sides would agree on a long term deal before the hearing. Now that I understand Bill chose a 1 year term and seeing how low he went on the offer, I'm confident that Crouse will be traded at the deadline.
I insist on Klevin over Brannstrom.It makes more sense to me to do a sign and trade right now.
3yrs, 11.01mil, 3.67aav (jersey number) but retained to 50% for 1.835aav.
Could get Knies, Holl and probably a ‘23 2nd from TOR, I bet.
Flip Holl, along with Chychrun (at 50%) to Ottawa for Zaitsev, Brannstrom, Greig, and a ‘23 1st and a ‘23 2nd.
Grieg, Knies, Brannstrom, a ‘23 1st, and two ‘23 2nds for Chychrun, Crouse, and cap considerations.
No doubt. He’s a gonerI was holding on to hope that both sides would agree on a long term deal before the hearing. Now that I understand Bill chose a 1 year term and seeing how low he went on the offer, I'm confident that Crouse will be traded at the deadline.
Pretty easy to trade Crouse if he is making under $4 million.No doubt. He’s a goner
These were all UFA's. They don't make a good direct comparison with an RFA.This is what 5 million or so gets you.
Strome 5 x 5
Smith 3 x 5
Palat 5 x 6
Peron 2 x 4.75
Lehkonen 5 x 4.5
Marchment 4 x 4.5
Mikheyev 4 x 4.75
Copp 5 x 5.6
Kane 4 x 5.1
Rakell 6 x 5
I like the @rt suggestion of Knies PLUS.
Well, the + was some kind of cap dump.There's no chance TOR will give up Knies for Crouse, let alone a +. TOR views him as a future top line winger. Crouse is an amazing 3rd line winger. I love Crouse and think he would be in huge demand around the league (were it not for the cap), but you don't trade a prospect who you think is a top line W for a guy who's a great 3rd line W.
They also think Knies can step in at the end of this college season and play right away, and play full time with the team the following year, as opposed to spending much time in the AHL (and of course he'll be on an ELC so that's even cheaper than Crouse retained at 50%.) That's the buzz I hear living in TOR.
100% - it’s funny to think that a team that can’t get out of the 1st round has a generational player approaching UFA would be hyper protective of amateur players. Haha.Toronto has to fire Dubas if they don't get beyond round 1 again. I would think this is the most important season of his career and waiting on a kid in college who is years away from his prime over getting Crouse now should be something to consider. Unless he hasn't thought about it. Lol
No pressure Kyle, just saying.
