Best Case Scenario?

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.
Flames sign Ian White (for real, I think)

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:

I limited my viewing to the afternoon session today, so I won't be commenting on the morning power skating stuff.
The guys participated in a number of drills today, mostly end-to-end rushes, break-out formations and cycling drills. Aside from one drill to end the practice (4-on-2's in split ice) there wasn't a lot of competition exercises so my ability to really differentiate between players was again limited.
My thoughts after the jump:

Wednesday on ice sessions have wrapped up as Calgary Flames development camp continues at the Saddledome. While it's tough to get an accurate read watching drills and power skating, the FlamesNation crew continues to post their observations. I've got thoughts on Mitch Wahl, Greg Nemisz and Tim Erixon (pictured) after today's sessions.
