Somebody explain like I’m 5. This guy wants more money than we want to offer?
If JBB was smart. he would give him a 2 year deal with an AAV of 3m. year one would be 1.5m and year 2 would be 4.5m so his QO would be higher and right around what his value would be when his contract is up.
expected. with this contract on the books team will have something like 2m left
Before anyone starts freaking out, most players who elect arbitration end up getting a deal done before then. And even if he does take it all the way to arbitration (which I don’t think will happen), it’s very unlikely they would award him anything that would use more than the cap space we currently have available.

He’s coming if a entry level contract it looks like, where he was basically making league minimum level money. He’s been a – player the 2.5 years he’s been in the league. I’m not exactly sure how much he thinks he’s going to get above a $1 million a year. He’s going to be a bottom pairing guy right now even if he makes it through camps and pre-season. He’s a L-shot and he’s definitely not taking the place of Hedman or Mac. He’s going to be competing with Lilliberg. He’s got gumption, I’ll give him that.
Does Moser deserve more money than we’ve offered him? I don’t think I’ve heard of the guy before he came here. No idea what his playstyle is like.
Also I saw some folks explain what arbitration is, still don’t quite get it.
This kid is a top 4 D man, not sure where all the talk about him barely making the team or competing for a third line spot is coming from.
“As for Moser, there are two potential roles on the blue line in Tampa Bay. One option is a first pairing role, which he already has experience with from his time in Arizona. While the 24-year-old would have to play on his opposite side, he provides a vital safety net to an aging Hedman. While his offensive abilities remain late in his career, Hedman is not the 200-foot blueliner he once was. Moser’s ability to defend the rush will allow Hedman to maximize his offensive skill set.
Another idea is to shelter Moser in a third pairing role on the left side. However, this is not ideal for developing the young defender. He can already handle top-four minutes, and this role is a step back. Moreover, Moser will be on the ice with much higher-quality teammates in Tampa Bay next season. With that said, a shutdown guy alongside Hedman on the top pair is an opportunity Moser deserves and can fulfill.”
I am well aware AZ doesn’t have depth, but he was on their top line, and his stats were pretty good there. He has some real upside. I watch, well used to watch, AZ. Wouldn’t call myself a fan, but the kid had moxy and didn’t get attention because no one was watching.

What do you reckon he is wanting? North of 4m?
