CONCLUSION........................................................................................................................10 2 I. INTRODUCTION This is a matter of salary compensation arbitration between Lars Eller and the Montreal Canadiens pursuant to Article 12 of the 2014 Collective Bargaining Agreement between the National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players’ Association. This brief will first provide a general overview of Mr. Eller as a player, and then analyze Mr. Eller’s value in comparison with two other NHL forwards: Josh Bailey of the New York Islanders and Patrik Berglund of the St. Louis Blues. Mr. Eller is an important part of the Canadiens’ organization, and his versatility, playoff performance, and contribution to team success are all factors that add to his value and support an award above the $3.5 million midpoint figure. After weighing the positives and negatives of a player of Mr. Eller’s caliber, and comparing him to the appropriate players, this brief will take the position that Mr. Eller is entitled to an award in the neighbourhood of $3.6 million per season. II. OVERVIEW Mr. Eller was drafted 13th overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. He was the highest ever drafted Danish-born player in NHL history. After playing the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons in Sweden, he moved to North America and made his NHL debut for the Blues. He joined the Canadiens in 2010, in a trade that sent him and forward Ian Schultz to Montreal in exchange for goaltender Jaroslav Halák.1 A. Versatility Mr. Eller has become an increasingly valuable part of the Montreal Canadiens organization since he joined the club in 2010. He has shown growing confidence in his abilities 1 www.nhl.com/ice/news 3 as a shutdown centerman while being also able to contribute on the offensive side of the game from time to time. Essentially, Mr. Eller is one of the premier shutdown centers in the league with an offensive potential that has yet to be fully realized. Mr. Eller’s value to the Canadiens is reflected in his time on ice per game, as his average has risen drastically since he joined the Canadiens to his platform year. In his first year with the Canadiens he averaged just 11:08 minutes of total ice time per game and saw this increase to 15:18 minutes in 2011-2012.2 It stayed relatively the same in the lockout-shortened season and this past year during his platform year, Mr. Eller played an average of 15:57 minutes per game.3 Mr. Eller’s role as a defensive specialist has also been critical to the club’s success. During his platform year, Mr. Eller won 53.2 percent of all the face offs he took which places him first on the team among the centermen, and in the top 50 among all regular centermen in the league.4 He is also used frequently for the team’s defensive zone draws against the opposing team’s top lines. Evidently, the team trusts him enough to use his high level of hockey IQ and defensive abilities in order to gain possession of the puck in his own end while fending off fore- checkers and making smart plays to get the puck out. Additionally, Mr. Eller is also used on the Canadiens’ penalty killing unit and has seen a drastic increase in penalty killing ice time from an average of 0:05 seconds from when he first arrived in Montreal to 1:24 minutes this past year.5 It is evident that Mr. Eller is highly regarded by the team as a defensive specialist. Over his career and time with the Canadiens, Mr. Eller has demonstrated his versatility as a two way forward by being able to contribute offensively. Although his platform year was not his best in terms of showing his offensive ability he still managed to score a total of 12 goals and 2 www.nhl.com/ice/playersplits 3 Ibid. 4 www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats 5 Supra, note 1. 4 14 assists over a 77 game span for a total of 26 points.6 It is also noteworthy that 81 percent of his points were scored while playing at even strength and that he averages approximately a minute per game on the power play.7 Additionally, Mr. Eller has shown in the past that he is capable of a greater offensive output. This is evidenced by the fact that during the lockout- shortened season in 2013, Mr. Eller scored 8 goals and 22 assists for a total of 30 points over a 46 game span.8 He averaged .65 points per game that year. This demonstrates that he has offensive potential which has yet to be fully realized, as he is still a developing 25-year-old centerman about to enter the fifth full season of his NHL career. Regardless, throughout his career, Mr. Eller has scored an average of .36 points per game,9 meaning that he is able to consistently produce at least 25 to 30 points over a full 82 game season, while being able to play tough defensive minutes against the opposing team’s best players. Mr, Eller’s abilities are a highly regarded commodity around the league, and we believe that he has earned $3.6 million per year. B. Contribution to Team Success Mr. Eller is a vital component to the Montreal Canadiens overall team success. This is evidenced by the fact that over 25 playoff games with the Canadiens, Mr. Eller has scored 5 goals and 10 assists for a total of 15 points.10 This is an average of 0.6 points per game and demonstrates that Mr. Eller is able to eleveate his game when winning or losing matter the most. Additionally, during his platform year, Mr. Eller scored at a .76 point per game average in the playoffs by accumulating 13 points in 17 games, placing him second on the team just behind P.K 6 Ibid. 7 Ibid. 8 Supra, note 3. 9 Ibid. 10 Ibid. 5 Subban.11 Also, 11 of these 17 points were scored at even strength, while the other 2 points were scored while Mr. Eller was playing on the penalty kill.12 Mr. Eller was also second on the team in the plus-minus category with an impressive +6 while taking on tough defensive assignments throughout the playoffs. Evidently, the Montreal Canadiens rely heavily on the play of Mr. Eller when the team needs him the most. The team was highly successful with him in the lineup as Mr. Eller utilized his two-way play throughout the playoffs and helped propel the team to 6 games against the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Finals. III. VALID COMPARABLE PLAYERS A. Josh Bailey, New York Islanders During the summer of 2013, Josh Bailey signed a five-year contract extension with the New York Islanders worth an annual average value of $3.3 million.13 Although Mr. Bailey became an NHL regular two years prior to Mr. Eller, both are 25 years of age, and similarly sized, defensive-minded forwards. Both Mr. Bailey and Mr. Eller were drafted in the first round of the NHL entry draft, Mr. Bailey at 9th in 2008, and Mr. Eller at 13th in 2007.14 Both players are regarded as two-way forwards who are useful in all situations on the ice. To make a valid comparison between these two forwards, we will use Mr. Bailey’s numbers up to and including his platform year, the 2012-2013 season. Last season, Mr. Eller averaged 15:57 of time on ice, including 1:06 of power play time and 1:24 of penalty kill time. These numbers are very similar to those put up by Mr. Bailey in his platform year, as he averaged 16:22 of ice time, including 1:17 of power play time and 54 seconds of penalty kill time.15 Also, both players sport similar career points per game averages. In 329 career games, Mr. Bailey has tallied 139 points, good for 11 www.nhl.com/ice/teamstats 12 Supra, note 3. 13 www.capgeek.com 14 Supra, note 3. 15 Supra, note 1. 6 a career average of 0.42 points per game. In 287 career games, Mr. Eller has put up 103 points, good for an average of 0.36 points per game. Both players also have career plus/minus ratings in the negative, with Mr. Bailey at -25, and Mr. Eller at -14.16 The slight difference here can be attributed to the fact that the Islanders were only playoff contenders in one of the five seasons that Mr. Bailey has played for them, while the Canadiens have made the playoffs in 3 of Mr. Eller’s 4 years with them. One area where the two players differ is playoff performance. Mr. Eller significantly outperforms Mr. Bailey in the postseason, and has helped the Canadiens reach the playoffs in 3 of his 4 seasons with the club. Mr. Bailey, on the other hand, has only reached the playoffs once with the Islanders, and lost out in the first round. Mr. Eller has experienced great success when games matter most, and seems to strive under the intense pressure of the NHL playoffs.

    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada Canada's Game - The Modern Era Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprints videos for Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Father David Bauer, Bobby Hull,Wayne Gretzky, and The Forum. Throughout hockey's history, though they are not presented in the Footprints, francophone players like Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemieux, Raymond Bourque, Jacques Lemaire, and Patrick Roy also made a significant contribution to the sport. Parents still watch their children skate around cold arenas before the sun is up and backyard rinks remain national landmarks. But hockey is no longer just Canada's game. Now played in cities better known for their golf courses than their ice rinks, hockey is an international game. Hockey superstars and hallowed ice rinks became national icons as the game matured and Canadians negotiated their role in the modern era. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey players as innovators and their contributions to the game; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey has evolved into the modern game; to understand the role of memory and commemoration in our understanding of the past and present; and to critically investigate myth-making as a way of understanding the game’s relationship to national identity. Background Frozen fans huddled in the open air and helmet-less players battled for the puck in a -28 degree Celsius wind chill. The festive celebration was the second-ever outdoor National Hockey League game, held on 22 November 2003.

  • Ten #Nhlstats About the Washington Capitals, Who Are Headed to the Postseason for the Seventh Consecutive Season and 31St Time in Franchise History
    Ten #NHLStats about the Washington Capitals, who are headed to the postseason for the seventh consecutive season and 31st time in franchise history. 1. Washington has reached the postseason for the 13th time in 14 seasons (since 2007-08), one of two clubs to do so in 2020-21 – the Pittsburgh Penguins have extended their active run to 15 straight postseason appearances. 2. The Capitals’ run of seven consecutive postseason appearances is the second-longest stretch in franchise history (14 straight trips from 1983 to 1996). It also is the second-longest active run in the NHL behind the Penguins (15; 2007–2021) and ahead of the Nashville Predators (6; 2015–2020) – Nashville can match Washington this season. 3. Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom, who between them have the Capitals records for career playoff goals, assists, points and games played, will extend their shared franchise benchmark for most years in the postseason (currently 12). They are two of 13 active players with at least 100 career playoff points, and one of five sets of current teammates on that list (also Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, PIT; David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron, BOS; Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, CHI; Patrick Marleau and Logan Couture, SJS). 4. Alex Ovechkin ranks 18th in NHL history with 69 career playoff goals, trailing only Patrick Marleau (72) among active players, and is among the top 50 in career playoff points (131; 44th). Ovechkin has scored at least four goals in 11 of his 12 previous postseason appearances, second to only Wayne Gretzky (12x) for the most such playoff performances.
