So basically...nothing. It's sort of how a comment made in a coutroom is not admissable so the judge tells the jury not to consider the remark that was made.
The parties may offer evidence of the following:
the overall performance, including official statistics prepared by the League (both offensive and defensive) of the Player in the previous season or seasons;
the number of games played by the Player, his injuries or illnesses during the preceding seasons;
the length of service of the Player in the League and/or with the Club;
the overall contribution of the Player to the competitive success or failure of his Club in the preceding season;
any special qualities of leadership or public appeal not inconsistent with the fulfillment of his responsibilities as a playing member of his team;
the overall performance in the previous season or seasons of any player(s) who is alleged to be comparable to the party Player whose salary is in dispute; and
The Compensation of any player(s) who is alleged to be comparable to the party Player, provided, however, that in applying this or any of the above subparagraphs, the Arbitrator shall not consider a player(s) to be comparable to the party Player unless a party to the arbitration has contended that the player(s) is comparable; nor shall the Arbitrator consider the Compensation or performance of a player(s) unless a party to the arbitration has contended that the player(s) is comparable.
To the extent a non-cash economic item does not have an attributed value set forth in the player's contract or any addenda thereto, the parties shall attribute a value thereto by mutual agreement or, failing to reach such agreement, then such value shall be determined by the Impartial Arbitrator.
The following categories of evidence are inadmissible and shall not be considered by the Arbitrator:
Any contract the term of which began when the player party to such contract was not a Group II Player;
Any contract entered into by an Unrestricted Free Agent, including contracts signed by players after the player's Club has exercised a walk-away right pursuant to Section 12.6;
Qualifying Offers made by the Club pursuant to Section 10.2;
Any prior offers or history of negotiations between the Player and the Club;
Testimonials, videotapes, newspaper columns, press game reports or similar materials;
Any reference to actual or potential walk-away rights;
Any award issued by an arbitrator as to which a Club exercised its walk-away rights pursuant to Section 12.6;
The financial condition of the Club or the League.
In presenting any player's Compensation in a brief, the first reference thereto shall be a complete breakdown by component parts (clearly identified) of all such player's Compensation figures in the same format as the Joint Exhibit.
