me2 said:But there is nothing stopping Igilna from asking for $10m in arbitration. If he's one of the best players and previous best players got $10m it stands to reason the NHLPA would make sure he'd ask for it in arbitration.
Joe Thornton went to arbitration and he is arguable as good and acomplished as Iginla. In fact, he may be the one and only player who can be compared to Iginla.
His award was 5.5m (correct me if i am wrong). How do you figure Iginla could ask for 10 and win ? There is a reason Iginla doesnt file for arbitration and its because he would be compared to Thornton at 5.5m. (edit: potentially 5.5m minus 24%)
no ?
