Alex Chiasson could be pricing himself right out of Ottawa.
Numbers confirmed by the Sun reveal the Senators winger will be looking for the arbitrator to grant him a salary of $2.475 million at Thursday's hearing, while the club will counter with an offer of $1 million.
Although it's believed the Senators will win the case, there are, of course, no certainties. And if the arbitrator does rule in favour of Chiasson, the club is expected to try and trade him.
At that price tag, it won't be easy to do.
The Senators, however, will not consider their option of walking away from the deal.
