Regin and Campoli file for arbitration

Time to get those RFA's locked up.

What are their comparables? Any one hazard a guess as to what they'd get in arbitration? I'm sure Murray will get deals done before it goes to that.

Geez, as much as I don't think Kulemin is a comparable, the Regin camp might fight for that in a big way.

Too bad Regin won't sign a similar contract to the one Elliot signed last year.

Cuss it, they won't get Kulimen money, the Sens can choose a 2 year deal and it'll be in the 1.2 area. Maybe less, he had only 29 points in almost a full NHL years.

Screw that, he hasn't proven a thing yet. 2 years, 1.2 a year would be perfect, then we can do what the salary cap dictates - evaluate him.

Give him 2x5. We might win a cup based on that alone.

Campoli: 25 yrs old (4g, 14a, 18pts) $633,333K

Possible comparables: Grebeshkov, 26 (~$3M), Kris Russell, 23 ($1.3M), Kurtis Foster, 28, ($1.8M), Ladislav Smid, 24 ($1.3M), Alex Goligoski, 24 ($1.833M),

I hope EDM is interested. They might give us a nice forward prospect.

Regin awarded 1.3
Murray should sign him 4 years 8 million.


Campoli awarded 1 million
Murray should tell him to take a look at our depth on D, and offer him 2 year 2.5 million.
OR
Call Edmonton and offer Campoli and Cody Bass for Penner.

He wouldn't take that IMO. 3 X 5....maybe, but 2 X 5 is a bad idea. His agent would tell him not to.

Can Folingo file? He's an RFA too...

Most players must have four years of NHL experience before they are eligible for salary arbitration (the term is reduced for those who signed their first NHL contract after the age of 20). The process is used by restricted free agents, because it is one of the few bargaining options available to them.

A decision must be made within 48 hours of the hearing. When the decision is announced, the team has the right to decline, or "walk away" from the award. If the team exercises this right, the player can declare himself an unrestricted free agent.
The evidence that can be used in arbitration cases:

The player's "overall performance" including statistics in all previous seasons.

Injuries, illnesses and the number of games played.

The player's length of service with the team and in the NHL.

The player's "overall contribution" to the team's success or failure.

The player's "special qualities of leadership or public appeal."

The performance and salary of any player alleged to be "comparable" to the player in the dispute.

Evidence that is not admissible:

The salary and performance of a "comparable" player who signed a contract as an unrestricted free agent.

Testimonials, video and media reports.

The financial state of the team.
The salary cap and the state of the team's payroll.


Foligno signed his entry level contract March 2007 when he was 19, and only played three years, I believe that makes him ineligeble for arbitration. Lets not get too ahead of ourselves with Regin, remember Foligno scored 17 goals in 08-09, then broke his leg. I am not convinced Foligno is a worse player than Regin.

He should hire Zetterberg's agent.

Exactly. Forward thinking. Looks like too much right now, but will be a deal 2 years from now, if not sooner. If you really believe in your young players, follow the Filppula model, BM!

Again, why is Foligno seem like the forgotton guy here?
17 goals in 08-09
9 goals in 09-10 with a freakin broken leg

only 22 years old.

Regin 13 goals. 24 years old

I agree Regin could be good but do you walk away from Foligno to keep Regin? I'm not sure i'm on that wagon yet.

Regin!???!!! Campoli!!?!??! ARBITRATION?!??!


Good thing that's the last of our RFAs...
