A week of Calgary Flames development camp has come to an end, and for all us hockey junkies starved for the sound of skate blades hitting the ice, it was a pretty darn good week. While it was tough to get any accurate reads on where exactly the players are at this point, it was still fun to watch and make some observations.

Arbitration time is nearly done, so there's been quite a bit of activity happening around the league. In today's round-up, the Flames and Ian White beat the hangman, Frolov and Poni find new homes, and the Coyotes, well, who's surprised by that nonsense anymore?

It would probably be fair to say that an arbitration hearing is something you want to avoid if possible. Numerous players have done so this offseason, and Ian White did the same this morning, signing a one year contract with the Calgary Flames worth $2,999,995. So, the two sides avoid arbitration, which might end up being the best case for both sides.

According to the Fan960, the club and Ian White have agreed to terms on a one year, 2.999M deal. It's likely right about in the middle of where the two sides would have come into the hearing this morning, because every decent comparable on White's behalf was well north of 3M. I can live with this. Now, time to clear out a body or two, because the club is officially over the cap.
We'll have more as we hear from the club and White.

A truncated afternoon session today filled with line rushes and a brief 4-on-4 scrimmage. The activity was more interesting and more instructive, but at 45 minutes or so, not enough to really watch everyone in question. Some items of interest:
