Copenhagen General Manager Martin Sayle is one of many team officials who had to suppress swear words today. Some might have let them slip out.
Johnny Gaudreau and Marko Dano, two key cogs (both 82 OV ratings) in the Tridents machine, declined Sayle’s offers, it was announced today, and now to retain them Sayle will have to up the ante and possibly risk the dreaded WSH arbitration rulings.
Other big names who thought their owners’ offers too paltry:
- Matt Duchene, Belfast, 91 OV rating
- Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Belfast, 87 OV

Teams will have until Saturday at noon ET to make offers to their own Type 3 free agents. If the commissioner sees 24/24 in the check box section of the left column, he will advance the league sooner.
