[Duffman955]

Who are the top FA D-men left? Niskanen?

honestly who is left?

 

[legendinblue]

Terrible.

 

[Loosie]

Nick Kypreos@RealKyperconfirming #Leafs Clarkson 36.75M over 7 yrs on new deal.

so that's 5.25/yr for Clarkson...not bad at all.

 

[Hero]

Clarkson at 6 mill, please no.

 

[7even]

5.25 for Clarkson

 

[blue82]

Like I said earlier, AAV of 5.2 for Clarkson. 7 year deal.

who are you?

 

[p.l.f.]

Hell Nonis can buy him out in 4 yrs, no worries

 

[7even]

I'm glad we took Grabovski's salary and moved it to the 3rd line wing position.

 

[JoeyBeans]

Should be 1 - 1.5 less.

Way way too much for a third liner.

 

[TootooTrain]

That JVR contract is such a sweetheart deal.

 

[Ruski]

Clarkson $5.25 according to CapGeek

 

[Leafsdude7]

Clarkson was brought in to play 2nd line minutes

Probably should have clarified that Clarkson would play PP minutes.

Putting McClement, Bolland and Clarkson together just hits the spot, though. Perfect combo of toughness, peskiness, defensive skill and some goal scoring potential.

That said, I wouldn't be overly surprised if Clarkson starts playing alongside Kadri and VR/Lups.

 

[tp71]

Well...it's not as bad as i expected. I would have rathered 5 years over 7. But, it's ok. Not good, not bad.

he will play 2nd line, enough of this nonsense

 

[Cor]

Leafs have talked to Ian White, Matt Cooke and Tom Gilbert today. I have also heard the Kaberle camp contacted the Leafs about a possible return. Nonis doesn't seem interested.

 

[SwiftyDanglesin]

why the **** did it have to be a 7 year deal though?

 

[Al14]

Bozak at over $4M/year, Clarkson around $6M/year.

Bloody hell, I'm out. Time to root for Buffalo.

Bye, please let the door hit you on the way out!

 

[p.l.f.]

You don't pay someone 5 mil per for 7 yrs to play on a 3rd line
the Jaws factor

 

[thewave]

Lol long term fleecing.

Good to know where you have him pencilled in Carlyle....oh right. You don't coach the team.

Nonis? No not that either.

He's going to be on our 2nd line.

This.

****ing ********.

 

[cyris]

I'm glad we took Grabovski's salary and moved it to the 3rd line wing position.

It was always gonna be Grabo or Bozie.

Bozie costs less and brings more intangibles. Better faceoffs, better penalty killer, better chemistry and relationship with our franchise player.
