GDT: Free Agent Frenzy Part II - Awful deals galore! (Clowe to NJ)

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

$21M over five years for Bozak. Little over $4M.

 

[nyr2k2]

Not awful.

Yeah that's pretty solid for him.

 

[Loff]

Dreger says the offer from Toronto to Clarkson is 7 years less than $6m per year.

How is that putz worth that kinda cash!? laaaaaaaaaaawlz

FUBAR.

 

[Kershaw]

Got this from the main boards, but Clowe (right) and his agent (left):

 

[Tawnos]

Bozak deal isn't terrible. $4.2m for a 50 point center. That would be awful if he was an RFA, but he isn't.

 

[hagsfan924]

Im starting to get the feeling the rangers may not make any signing at all...If they make a move at this point, I think it'd have to be a trade (Boyle, Pyatt, Powe, Del Zotto, etc)

 

[NYR Viper]

Yeah that's pretty solid for him.

Yeah. Solid #2 center who is a good 2-way guy. Good on face-offs. Has chemistry with their #1 winger.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Bozak contract is the only one not horrible

 

[Kershaw]

Not awful.

On par with Callahan/Dubinsky, so it's a fair deal.

 

[Inferno]

my stream died, anyone have a stream that still works?

 

[0ddManRush]

LeBrun: Clarkson to Leafs, seven-years.

 

[NYR Viper]

On par with Callahan/Dubinsky, so it's a fair deal.

I would take Bozak at that contract very easily. In this market, that's a great deal.

 

[Tawnos]

Daniel Friedman ‏@DFriedmanWFAN 6m
#Preds sign Viktor Stalberg and Matt Cullen.

Stalberg out for sure.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 55s
Clarkson agrees to leafs. Details being worked out.

7 years is the word.

Don't worry they have a horrible one coming up they agreed to a deal with Clarkson according to Dreger can't wait to see how bad.

 

[Kershaw]

I don't think Bozak is anything special outside of playing with Kessel tbh. Look at the graphic chart I posted up. Kessel carries him. He's a 3C making 4.2 mil.

 

[nyr2k2]

Seven years for Clarkson...holy ****ing ****.

 

[NYR Viper]

The Leafs are going to be hard to play against for a few years with Orr, McLaren, Fraser, Clarkson, Phaneuf.

 

[Loff]

LeBrun: Clarkson to Leafs, seven-years.

Hope he fails hard.

 

[NYR Viper]

I don't think Bozak is anything special outside of playing with Kessel tbh. Look at the graphic chart I posted up. Kessel carries him. He's a 3C making 4.2 mil.

Eh, I think he is a pretty solid 45-50 point #2 center.

 

[kovazub94]

So glad that our RFAs keeping the Rangers out of this craziness.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Should bozak's contract help Stepans deal a little bit?

Thanks for the Mcd update guys

Given the deals being thrown around and the lack of top end quality available I'm totally cool with that. At least by keeping Richards it prevents the Rangers from going out and doing something else stupid without the safety net of a compliance buyout remaining.

What does it matter what he'd be in a different situation? What he's worth to the Leafs is what he's worth to the Leafs.

 

[The Gloaming]

Bozak's contract is alright,

Leafs make up for it by giving 7 years to Clarktard. Amazing what one good season will do.
