Happy Free Agency Day!

I could care less about MacArthur leaving to be honest

3rd best Leafs scorer over last 3 years

TSNBobMcKenzie: Scuderi is 4 years, $13.5M with PIT.

Teams are going to feast on the bottom two lines when they play Pittsburgh. They have no money left.

Ugh...this day is shaping up to have Clarkson to the Leafs all over it.

Looking at what Clowe got, this is going to be a complete disaster.

 

[ZBBM]

Scuderi gets $3.375 million for four years with Pens.

Leafs were in the mix too.

Scuderi just said on Sportsnet it came down to the Pens and Leafs.  He chose Pens with the win now thought in mind, and familiarity with the org.

Way to go there, Nik.  Your stupid stealth rebuild theory just cost us Scuderi. 

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Clowe deal in New Jersey: 5 years, $4.85 M per year

Yeah, Clarkson is going to get paid.

What the what?????

His last season and a half are.......meh. 3 goals in 40 games and he gets close to 5M?

I'm totally lost.

Well on the bright side Scuderi said Leafs were his 2nd choice.

Mac and Grabbo are both good players.

I'm not all that upset about him leaving. It's more that I don't like the fact that he's going to Ottawa. Just doesn't feel right.

 

[bustaheims]

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Sharks have re-signed Scott Hannan, one year, $1 M. Also re-signed Tyler Kennedy, $2.3 M per year, two-yr deal

 

[bustaheims]

NHL_Sens: #Sens have agreed to terms with forward Clarke MacArthur on a two-year contract.

TSNBobMcKenzie: MacArthur is 2 x $3.25M with OTT. Done deal.

Man, when Horton says he wants a no-pressure hockey environment he doesn't mess around.

It's his right to get to play for a team where there's no pressure to work his hardest. That's why Florida was such a match made in heaven.

 

[Corn Flake]

why do we have such a hard time parting with our players?

 

[princedpw]

We gotta hope for Gilbert on the cheap, I think:

MolinariPG: Penguins have about 30 cents worth of cap space remaining and several RFAs to sign. Hard to imagine trade isn't coming at some point.

I'm good!

 

[Jolly good show chaps]

NHL_Sens: #Sens have agreed to terms with forward Clarke MacArthur on a two-year contract.

Gutted that he's gone for that. Wanted us to re-sign him for a year or two.

 

[mr grieves]

NHL_Sens: #Sens have agreed to terms with forward Clarke MacArthur on a two-year contract.

TSNBobMcKenzie: MacArthur is 2 x $3.25M with OTT. Done deal.

No worries. Clarkson at 5 x $6.5M will be a huge upgrade.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

MolinariPG: Penguins have about 30 cents worth of cap space remaining and several RFAs to sign. Hard to imagine trade isn't coming at some point.

Yeah, but unless they are trading Malkin, it's not going to be very good players leaving.

Always like the guy. Decent money and term, but REalistically this team doesn't need more 3rd line wingers.

Scuderi gets $3.375 million for four years with Pens.

This might cause the Pens to unload a player. Before the Leafs do something stupid on a center, I'd take Jussi Joikinen for $2.1 mil for a year over a few of the UFAs - including Bozak.
