Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Antti Niemi and his agent, Bill Zito, are confident in their case should they head to arbitration with Chicago Blackhawks. But anything can happen in the wild, dog-eat-dog world of arbitration cases, and Zito is well aware that despite a solid case, things may not go the way of his client.
Despite Niemi's impressive showing during the Hawks' drive to the Stanley Cup championship, Zito said he'd rather not leave it up to an arbitrator to make sure his client gets a nice raise from his salary of $827,000 last season.
"We're confident we have a good case, but with that said, there is always risk," Zito said of the unpredictability of a hearing. "It's just like going to court ... Did O.J. (Simpson) really not do it?"
