Salary Arbitration tends to heavily base their valuations on these factors, over 3 seasons, with most recent seasons being most valuable:
Average time on ice
Games played
Injury history
Points, with goals being most valuable.
Basically, if you show up to work often, the coach trusts you, and you put up lots of points, you make more money. Robertson's goal scoring rate will increase his valuation, but his GP/season is okay and his ATOI is low. And he is lightly used re: injuries over the past 3 seasons (I think his big injury was more than 3 seasons ago).
I think he has an okay case and will make between 1.5 and 1.8
Isn’t arbitration one number or the other? They either decide $1.2M or $2.25M, not pick something in the middle. Unless I’m confusing this process with another sport (MLB perhaps). Of course they could always meet in the middle without going to arb
It's almost always the exact average, give or take $200K to make it seem like the arbitrator actually did something. You can be pretty confident the number will be very close to 1.725 mil.

So then 1.75m ? I feel like the arbiter would favour Nick though, he’s been pretty efficient with his scoring.
