Happy Free Agency Day!

mirtle: Flames have signed Corban Knight, Greg Nemisz and Karri Ramo. Ramo gets huge money at $2.75-million for two years.

Josh Rimer saying Leafs got Clarkson.

7 years also.

Eek.  AAV better be a healthy number.

Detroit or St. Louis.

whatever happened to weiss?

People have been saying St. Louis or Detroit.

7 years better be for 2.5 million otherwise that is a garbage deal on Clarkson.  I'm going to boo the hell out of him when he falls apart in half a season.

This team never cease to amaze me when it comes to their incompetence. I put this team up there with the Cubs.

Jesus H. Christ.  Seven-year deals are for franchise players.  People like ... well, like Jesus.

Are the Leafs destined to never ever have a #1 center?

Brad Boyes > MacArthur

He's a guy I've been hoping we pick up.

Why?

Good opportunity for price/performance.

48 GP, 10G 25A, 35PTS last year for 1 M.  He would fit nicely in our open 2nd line RW position, could probably be had for < 3M, and would probably register 25G, 60 PTS.

I don't think Boyes will come close to matching those numbers TBH. He was really just there for the ride with Tavares.

He's had similar numbers for the last several years, save for a recent year in Buffalo.  Maybe 25G was optimistic, but 15-20G and 50-60 PTS should be attainable.

That's MacArthur production with a lower cap hit.

Okaaay.

 

[bustaheims]

Man, Clarkson better become a consistent 25+ goal guy, or that contract is going to look worst contract in the league bad.

oh...too bad, wanted him more than bozak

Detroit or St. Louis.

 

[mr grieves]

Lots of negativity around here today.

Not me. This is hilarious.

That wasn't going to be the outcome of today no matter what happened.

ByKevinAllen: Hearing Predators will land both Stalberg and Cullen.

Clowe set the bar...

DarrenDreger: Typing too fast. Leafs waiting on word from Clarkson on 7 year deal. Interested in AAV...sounds like less than $6 mil per. We'll see.

Extra blargh.

Holy ------  LESS THAN 6.  LECAVALIER SIGNED FOR 4.5.

Clarkson is an animal.  I think he produces good numbers and even if he doesn't he will be out there on one leg throwing himself at defenders on every shift.

 

[AvroArrow]

Please NOT Bozak, unless it's a 1 year deal...
