Buffalo Sabres forward J.P. Dumont has been awarded a one-year, $2.9 million contract in arbitration, according to reports.

Dumont made $1.596 million last season, scoring 20 goals and 40 points in 54 games.

The Sabres have 48 hours after their final arbitration hearing with centre Adam Mair to make a decision on the award. If the Sabres reject the ruling, he becomes an unrestricted free agent

Don't know if the Sabres can afford him. Seems like everyone is due for a big raise and I don't think he's that high on the priority list. Sure would be a great fit with alot of teams though.

If I'm not mistaken he'll be a UFA next season. Seems like a prime candidate for trading.

Seems high to me, he'd be the player to walk away from if I had the choice.

Buffalo accepted the Briere salary, so do you think JP will be the odd man out?

Under 4 mil for both last year....this year...almost 8??? And, more importantly....should Adam Mair be worried (j/k).
