Eh, not really understanding the hate for Arnason. He's put in some respectable performances in the past and seems like a reasonable project/gamble given his salary. At worst, I think he forces Boyle to bring his A game if he's going to win a roster spot out of camp.

a lot of people dislike him because he has reportedly had a terrible attitude in the past
Does anyone know the exact rules for 2-way contracts? I know the fact that Arnason still has to clear waivers if he doesn't make the team and that 2-way just means they can pay him a minor league salary if he doesn't make the team, as waiver eligibility has nothing to do with 2-way contracts and everything to do with professional service time.
However, I was under the impression that only entry-level players and players that have not spent significant time in the NHL the previous season, due to being in the minors or injuries etc. could sign 2-way contracts.
Yet Arnason hasn't played fewer than 70 NHL games in a season since the lockout but the Rangers got him on a 2-way contract....
