Mike Cammalleri Arbitration

[Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA]

Anyone hear anything about it?

You disappoint me. I thought you had news on it.

Judging by what continues to be said, Cammalleri won't be an LA King for much longer. He's rumored to be exactly mad at management for even refusing to get a new deal in place before arbitration.

Something tells me he will play for the Kings this year, because it's only standard that they except a 1-year deal. Plus, I believe their still under the cap floor. After next year though, he could be gone.

It is reported a two year deal 3.1 million for the first year and 3.6 for the second

What a steal for the Kings. This guys is easily a $4-5M/year player.

I'm still not sure why they didn't try to lock him up long term.

If the team accepts the arbitration offer does he have to take it or can he say I want more?

How does it work after this point for the player?

If the team accepts the arbitration award, its over. He must sign with the Kings for the awarded amount. This is why professional sports leagues have RFA status'.

[Opie 308]

So he got one year at 3, is he a free agent next year or does he have to wait until his 10th year in the league still?

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

In two years, when his RFA status is up, he can sign with anyone or re-sign with LA as soon as July 1st, 2008.

Thanks for the info!!

One more question:

Is it too late for a team to throw him an offer sheet. I would think yes, but just curious.

I would be willing to bet the Kings will look to extend his contract before other teams get a crack at him.
