Luongo going to arbitration

but seriously, who cares?

That doesn't mean much...

That means that a guy who is a neutral 3rd party will hear both the team and Luongo and when then decide how much Luongo will make the upcoming season...

Niedermayer was awarded 7M this way.

yeah, but niedermayer was awarded 7mil under old arbitration. Now Luongo submits a number, the panthers do and the arbitrator picks one. This should mean that luongo tempers his request to ensure his number wins.

Are you sure about that? I thought under the new arbitration the the arbitrator could pick a number somewhere in the middle if he so elected?

"Under the NHL's collective bargaining agreement, a player who takes arbitration receives a one-year deal worth any amount between the team's and player's offers. Those hearings will be held Aug. 22 through Sept. 1."
