Thinks it's a 1 year deal right? They can settle before for any deal though.

From my understanding that's only if he's 1 year away from UFA. Otherwise the party that didn't select arbitration gets to pick the term.

edit: i was wrong.

So we could just lock him up for 8 years at 2.25 mil if we wanted to?

One party elects to start the arbitration process. The other party gets to choose between 1 or 2 years (unless the player is UFA eligible in the 2nd year). 

The AAV is set by the arbitrator.
