What It Means:

Mrazek is in a unique situation, as he is the only player this off-season going through team-elected arbitration. Serving as a team's primary goalie last season for the first time in his career, Mrazek posted a .921 save percentage and a 2.33 goals against average in 54 games played. Those numbers imply that he should see a significant raise over his $737,500 salary from last season.

Mrazek, who is just 24 years-old, had played only 40 NHL games prior to last season, but showed he is capable of serving as a number one goalie. He played three games in the playoffs, posting a .945 save percentage and a 1.36 goals against average, showing he should have started every game in their first-round defeat. (Jimmy Howard saw two starts and posted an .891 save percentage and a 3.59 goals against average.)
