Hmm, I seem to recall there were a few teams in on Clarkson, and he took less to go to Toronto. I don’t remember any other UFAs they were reported to be after. Can you? They re-signed Kessel, when many seemed to think he was as good as gone. I’ll be curious to see if Ottawa can keep Ryan. I have my doubts.
You have your doubts? Even after Ryan said that they were working on an extension and hope to have it done early in the summer?
Clarkson had two other suitors, Edmonton and Ottawa. He chose Toronto because they were the only ones dumb enough to give him 7 years (Ottawa and EDM offered 5) and it was his hometown. A decision he probably regrets now as he can't walk three feet without someone wanting to throw a tomato at him for how awful he is as a player.
Please stop, you know not what you speak.
