pleease let it just be 20mil/5 years for Clarkson, 15mil/3 years for Elias. I can handle that... even tho 4mil is still overpriced for a 3rd line winger. 
Bring back Zubrus for 6.5mil/2 years. He'll be 35 in June.. getting older. I wouldn't be surprised if Lou lets him go, thinking Matteau will step into that role. Or even think Matteau will 'replace' Clarkson's grit/scoring.
Zubrus-Lokti/Henrique-Kovalchuk
Elias-Zajac-Horton/Iginla/Ryder/Stalberg. We MUST get someone.
Matteau/Boucher/Zubrus?-Josefson/Henrique-Clarkson
we may see a trade. Lokti, Henrique, Zajac, Josefson are all good enough to be top 3 centers, and there's no reason to break up CBGB.. ever.. for the next 20 years.
Maybe we package Josefson for a LW. I remain comfortable trading any combination of Josefson+Urbom+2nd+Tedenby for a top line LW.
I like Filpulla, but he lacks scoring ability. He's always been a 2nd/3rd line guy. maybe he can be the playmaker for Kovy? maybe?
I just don't know what we do with our center depth.

This!
Clarkson is gonna get paid way more than he is worth. He'll maybe take a small discount to stay but if he hits the market some idiot will give him way more than he's worth. His hot start to the season is going to fill his bank.
