"PR is asking too much". Arbitration is your chance to prove it, and get your RFA for what YOU think he is worth!
Tell Me About Arbitration!
AKA Please tell me about arbitration?
When a player is an RFA (and only then), a team and/or the player have the option of arbitration - a committee organized to settle a contract dispute for RFA players.
How Does this Whole Process Go Down?
AKA Tell me More. Please?
1. Normal negotiations between the player and PR take place. If the two sides have reached an stalemate, the player enters the RFA market.
2. If no team submits an RFA offer sheet, and PR and the team still cannot come to an agreement over salary, Arbitration comes into play.
3. The GM, the PR, and the Commish will each select 1 member of the Arbitration Committee, forming a 3-person jury.
4. PR and the GM will seperately and confidentally submit ONE PM to each of the 3 jury members selected, outlining their proposed salary, and reasons for it. After this time, neither the GM nor the PR will have any further input/rebuttal to contribute to the process, keeping it smooth and clean. and avoiding a messy debate PR will inevitably win. SO MAKE THAT ONE PM COUNT!
5. The jury will discuss salary and all 3 must agree on a salary for a 1-year deal.
6. If the team accepts this deal, the player is signed to a 1-year contract (with no other special terms - no NTC etc). This 1-year deal will conclude as a UFA not an RFA regardless of age.
7. If the team chooses NOT to sign the player, he enters UFA as a free man.
Information:
AKA What to include in PM to arbitration committee
- Player Name
- Proposed Salary
- stats
- justification for proposed salary. Detail is your friend here, as are similar producers with similar salaries on your team.
Notes
AKA Additional Info you should know
- After the settled 1-year contract, the player is a UFA.
- Only members of the arbitration committee can access the arbitration negotiation process/board until it is finalized. Once finalized, the whole hearing/transcript may be made public.
- Only members of the selected jury for a player are allowed to contribute to the discussion
- If Commish (Leafs) is taking a player to arbitration, the third jury member will be chosen via random number generator.
- you can't select the same member to your teams/players jury twice (until you have cycled through all committee members once) This way there's no chance that PR has a specific member in his pocket, and no way you do either.
- Obviously, you cannot be on the committee for your own teams hearing.
- there is no limit on the number of times you can use an arbitration process, as long as the guys are RFAs, obviously.
