Filed under: Canucks, Western, NHL EconomicsAhead of their scheduled salary arbitration hearing, the Vancouver Canucks and forward Mason Raymond agreed to a two-year deal Monday. General manager Mike Gillis and J.P. Barry -- Raymond's agent -- negotiated a $5.1 million pact that will keep Raymond, 24, in Vancouver.
Salary arbitration could have been a loss for Raymond, but after a career-high 25 goals and 53 points in 2009-10, the talented winger was more likely to deal Vancouver a blow had the sides gone to a hearing.
By avoiding arbitration, the Canucks limited the cap hit they must absorb for Raymond, but they haven't changed the future. In order to become cap compliant, Gillis has one or more tough decisions ahead of him. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Commentsfishing lures
