No tears this year? NHL’s most interesting salary arbitration cases

As a rags fan I think Lindgren is an interesting case to navigate. Love what he brings to the rink and historically, he’s been rock solid but struggled transitioning to Lavs system. Wonder if they settle on a 1 year deal to avoid locking up future cap space.
Marchenko is likely a nothing situation. Waddell seems to have just thrown out qualifying offers as starting points while he gets his bearings. I don’t expect they were anything more than the minimum amount of work so he could stall and figure out the proper value afterwards.
