Sure, if we want to pay him $5 million to play in Lake Erie.
(then again, we are paying Clarkson $5.5 mil to not play.)

I really don't see what other people see in David Savard. I would have rather seen a trade for Savard rather than placing Connauton on waivers. I have watched him time and time again make poor decisions with the puck, which often leads to turning the puck over in our defensive zone. His defensive net presence/net play in our defensive zone is worthless, and believe he only exposes our lack of D even more. It's time to start thinking about trading Savard ASAP.

I'll be honest, I've been thinking for a while that's what we need to do with Clarkson. Make him get his game back in the AHL and maybe someone claims him on re-entry. If he's not going to play at a NHL level, let him decide if that signing bonus is worth riding around on buses for the next few seasons. He has a M-NTC; not a NMC.
Tyutin probably still has some value around the league so not sure we need to go there.
Good luck to #4 in Arizona. It's a team a can actually stand.

This is not my hat.
What's the difference between a M-NTC and a NMC. I was under the impression we couldn't waive him, and the best chance we have of getting rid of him was through an expansion draft.
Granted, if he stays on IR, we come out ahead on the trade from a financial standpoint, as long as his contract is insured, which, I'm not sure if it is or isn't.
Clarkson does have a No Movement Clause.

Non-movement clause is the NMC; you can't trade or place them on waivers. M-NTC is a modified NTC which is just a modified no-trade-clause. You should be able to place them on waivers, unless there is something in his contract that says otherwise (but I would think it would just be listed as a NMC). Perhaps I'm wrong in that there are L and M-NTC's, but I don't think so. In most cases those mean you can list teams you are willing to go to or that you can list teams you don't want to go to. With the new CBA there is even less benefit.
I don't think you would find much relief even if he stayed in LTIR the rest of his career. I don't think they salary bonus would be insured. If you can't insure the bonus, there is no point in insuring the contract. To give you an idea, he makes 7 million next season (and the following) - 5 million of that is a signing bonus.

If he is it's not my mistake.

Hartnell is the only player on the team I am aware of with a NMC.

^Says the same thing.
Should be a 3rd pairing guy with perhaps some time on the 2nd-unit PP if you need help there.
He'll probably play limited minutes. Doesn't always make great plays in his own end, but those won't be too noticeable if he plays sheltered minutes on the 3rd pair.
Many CBJ fans would have preferred the team kept him as the #6/7 option. It ultimately didn't work out that way, obviously. He's not going to be a shutdown guy, but he can be a solid contributor at times.

When debating which of Connauton, Falk, Prout or Bodnarchuk should dumped first is like when all four tires on your car are shot and your mechanic is replacing all of them but you debate him because he started with the "best" one. All four will be replaced it doesn't matter which one is first.
The first 30 would have been adequate.
What this means is that JK and possible JD are even dumber than I thought. Welcome to a few more years of Clarkson as the #13 or 14 forward.

What if your mechanic's name is Jarmo?
. Actually, I am fine with Connauton being gone. We need to continue to build the D for next season.
