players only get arb once in their career under the cba. hell get a 1-2 year deal from the arbitrator. he can still sign any deal the pens offer him. likely this makes him an rfa again next year. the rfa numbers will go up again (prob 10% this year and again 10% next year.) interesting move by the club. unless they think they can strike a deal and only need time. id assume fleury will cost them more next year, unless he has a less than stellar season. but he still has this run in his back pocket. so post july 1 the pens will be working on staal, malkin and fleury. or maybe its a great move that holds the core together for one more year? time will tell. shero has earned his pay so far and will earn it in the coming months.
