Listening to the Whiner Line this morning, I heard a snipet about MacArthur and arbitration but I couldn't believe my ears so I had to do some research. The arbitrator awarded him $2.4 million? Are you ****ing ****ting me? No wonder Atlanta walked away from the contract. This is ridiculous. The whiner wanted to know if his dad was the arbitrator...

Originally posted by SabreElevenNothing was learned during the lockout. The best thing to come out of the lockout was that the Sabres lucked into having a good team with the rule changes...maybe that can happen again.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

Re: Clarke MacArthur
16 goals - 19 assists - -16 = 2.4 million? What a joke.
Evidence that can be used (per Wikipidia)
# 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.

Without looking, Kennedy had the same type of year.. no?“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.

Re: Clarke MacArthur
the arbitrators are to blame. they set briere so high afterthe lockout, and with a salary cap, it cuffed all the teams. if you want talent, you have to pay for it. and to still have wiggle room, you need to play with the cap.
i still don't know how in 2005 the cap was $37MM and now its $58mm. with a global recession occuring in the middle of this with no TV contract revenues to keep them afloat.

But, the owners crying about losing a lot of money must have been lying through their teeth because even Buffalo is making money. Even while paying close to the cap, a figure they never came close to playing to.
