More on Zajac filing for arbitration.


Here is an interesting article about former Fighting Sioux hockey Travis Zajac and him filing for arbitration. It will be interesting to see what he gets for a contract. Zajac played in 82 games scoring 20g-42a-62 pts and was a +33.
The short-term and initial good news is that Travis Zajac will (almost) definitely return next season. I emphasize almost as teams have "walk-away" rights after the results of arbitration that they can invoke within a vast number of requirements. Based on past arbitration hearings with the Devils that I can recall, the player has returned next season. Moreover, I don't expect the Devils to walk away from Zajac, not with their current lack of depth at the position and with their current surplus of cap space. So expect Zajac to continue to be the center for Zach Parise. However, considering the process, this could turn out to be some serious bad news for the Devils. [In Lou We Trust]
