I really hope you understand Clarkson "thriving" was him getting 17 goals and 29 points a season (those are his numbers in NJ excluding his time in Toronto, btw). When you look at it like that, he was actually on his way to approaching his career averages in Toronto this season.

That is all to say he is a fucking terrible hockey player and should not be wearing a NHL jersey. Columbus shoved a 6 foot dildo in their asses by acquiring him, regardless of their financial situation.

That's perhaps a bit unfair. Probably more fair to say he shouldn't be making nearly the money that he is.

But as a guy who can, under the right circumstances, put up 15/30 for a team, he can provide some value. He should be getting only about $1.5M per though.

Only way I see it happening is Leafs eat $1 million and take Stephen Weiss while getting a top prospect.

If not, just wait for Edmonton to make a dumb proposal.

Either way, I don't know why the fuck anybody would trade for Phaneuf.

You've been justifiably critical of Holland for giving Weiss the money he got from the moment he signed. What is your honest reaction to the possibility of the Leafs trading for Weiss?

you may want to backcheck you're stats his stats rose each year with the Devils. His lower numbers were while playing on the 4th and 3rd lines while his fighting stats were up. He worked his way up to the top lines and the 1st pp unit. Had a 30 goal season, played a big role in the Devils trip to the finals a place the leafs haven't seen in a long time. I understand your frustration tho. The leafs did overpay for a player that didn't fit their system

The Coyotes are stockpiling picks. They're going to be a great team when they eventually move to Las Vegas or Seattle.

I'm not even sure that's fair. This season especially, he really had zero understanding of what was happening around him. Even when the Leafs were winning earlier on, he'd get the puck and would be dispossessed no more than 2 seconds later. He couldn't put shots on goal, he can't skate, he was on the power play half the season and didn't put up a single point. Maybe there were "intangibles" he was capable of providing before, but whatever they were he simply doesn't have the skills to do so today.

Only 3 years left. Leafs will suck for 3 years anyway. What's the harm?

At best, he re-gains some value and the Leafs can eat some salary and peddle him for more picks.

Blues giving up assets for a concussed guy!!!! GOD DAMMIT!!! WAIVE YOUR FUCKIN NTC BIEKSA!!!!

Not only the picks, but their current youngster crop (it's way, way more than just Domi) is outstanding, too. Maloney's doing some great work down there.

If he was such an integral and valuable piece for the Devils, and if his stats were so fantastic and ever-rising, $5.5 million would've been a bargain to re-sign him. Wonder why Lou didn't...

So Petry went for draft picks? At the very least bottom 5 in 2nd and 5th round which pretty much makes em 3rd and 6th rd picks

Sounds a lot like a player in the wrong system

You're right. A player in an NHL system who has no business playing in the NHL.
