I've given you my reasons, I don't think I'm alone.

This was Poile's worse move as a Preds GM, his second worse move in his career.
you misquote and misunderstand me. I absolutely do not think arbitration was a good move and I suspect Poile would have liked to avoid it if at all possible. Hes not stupid or he'd be at home typing on a message board like the rest of us.

But it appears Weber gave him no choice. We will know more if we ever hear what Weber was asking for.

answer me this, would you have paid weber 10 million for one year just to avoid the negative PR of arbitration? how about 9 million? what is your definition of "unreasonable"?

the fact is you have no idea if this was even poiles move or not. it may have been webers.
