<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pat_Foley</b></div><div>Enjoy mediocrity. You'll be in 8th in the West and not want to sell your players who will leave in the offseason, then be bottom feeders again only to build back up and have your players not want to live in Calgary again in 5-10 years. Have fun!</div></div>

Damn you told me, thats why Backlund signed an extension right? Because he didn't want to be in Calgary. Thats why insiders are saying Lindholm is likely to extend too right?

Just because you have no clue what a No Move Clause is doesn't mean you have to get salty about it. Go look it up instead. Chicago isn't going to make the playoffs for at least 4 more years, Calgary will probably make the playoffs is at least 3 of those next 4 years. So tell me, why would Markstrom waive to Chicago?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>I am probably in the minority here. This whole situation with Kurashev kind of seems like lip service and has the makings for a possible trade in the near future. I'm not even pointing fingers or insinuating it wouldn't be justified, and i'm also not saying Kurashev shouldn't ask for more. I like Kurashev, but, personally, I don't really see a clear place for him in next seasons roster, let alone with the future of the Hawks, and I wouldn't be the least bit upset if he weren't back next season. Sure, in hindsight it could be a regrettable decision, as could trading any player away, but hindsight is 20/20.</div></div>

I like Kurashev but I am not really seeing how this could possibly head to arbitration. Like dude...your career high is last season at 9-16-25 in 70 games. Sure, I think the box score doesn't reflect the player he completely is, he plays hard/gives great effort but you're 23 and have scored 62 points in 191 games.

I do agree I think within the next 2 seasons he won't be here anymore but I am curious to see what Davidson has offered him...anything more than $1.5M is too much for his current production imo.

Well, the thing is, people automatically think of arbitration as a negative, but it is a players right to elect for arbitration. It really doesn't have to be a negative thing. Look at it more as a tool to get an outside perspective that helps everyone get the right deal. I think, by giving him a baseline qualifying offer, he full expected, and probably encouraged, that Kurashev would file for arbitration. It's a tough time to figure out what the right numbers are because of the flat cap coupled with the predicted rise in the salary cap, players would like to get ahead of the curve and teams don't want to treat their players fairly will not getting themselves locked into contracts that could become a problem.

Sometimes the situation becomes negative, but it isn't inherently a negative thing.
