With Paul Byron re-signed, the arbitration monster is officially done with for another season. Byron and the Flames never even reached the point of exchanging case files, complete with ask amounts, so we'll never know just how far apart they ever were.
Instead, they quickly agreed to a 50% raise, re-signing the speedy, hard-hitting forward to a one-year, $900K deal.
There are a lot of forwards with similar cap hits. An extreme amount, really: and it's because that's entry level contract money. Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau make more than him, despite still being on their first contracts.
