Does this seem right?

This deal seems to be a little inflated... I don't know... going from $775k to $2.5m in one year after just one half decent season?!?

How can an arbitratoe grant this kind of salary after only doing this once?!

That does seem like a big jump. Maybe he's got family in the arbitration business.

Yeah, this sort of thing drives me a little crazy...

I mean, it's bad enough when certain teams (NYR ;) ) pay a Bobby Holik waaaaaaaaaaaay too much money, but at least he is proven.

A guy like this gets THAT kind of money from an ARBITRATOR?!?!

:mad:

Something ain't right there...
