It's a yearly tradition

like the Masters in April, Sam Gagner has once again filed for salary arbitration. Everybody else gets big dollar contracts and he gets no love from Oilers management.

Here's the complete list (21 players total):

I figured he would be too old for Salary Arbitration..... or maybe im thinking of Simon Gagner... So many people with the same last name.

Oh, ok. The thread title had me thinking it was about Al and Peg Bundy's sex life.

I was trying to think what it would be too.

The Jets fans booing the commish at the NFL draft?
Sabres fans being disappointed by the Sabres (lack of) free agency activity?
Sather handing out a massive contract to an over-the-hill scrub?
DiPietro getting hurt?

(OK, those last two happen way more often than annually, but still)

NHL salary arbitration can occasionally damage relationships, can occasionally be hilarious | Backhand Shelf | Blogs | theScore.com

I'm happy that Bailey filed. I heard he did a few days ago. At least Isles fans know he's going to have a contract. Wang can be a tough negotiator. Sean Bergenheim found out the hard way.

At least he didn't compare BMo to Steve Rucchin.

Told Sam Gagner has asked for $5.5 in arbitration.

less than Hall/Eberle, more than Hemsky.
he's got an argument.

Edmonton is suggesting $3.5m
..... putting him just above Boyd Gordon


/one is 23 years old with 258 career points, the other is 29 with 122 career points.

Large gap in the Leafs arb case with Mark Fraser. Toronto offering $855,000 & Fraser has requested $2 mil.

that would be a fun meeting.
