(in all seriousness. he needs to play more often. 1 game out of the last 4-5 isn't enough)

Yea, with your mom.

Not sure I feel like we got the W on that one yet...

We did. Ference would be doing female genitalia all here anyways. Clarkson at least has the potential to be of use.

Let's get off the mom jokes... I just got off your's

Just because he's the only guy on a crappy group doesn't mean that he should be paid world class money. With him as the number one guy I dont see a scenaroio where he's raising the cup. Good 2-3 on a true contender like the kings.

Contract wise.. I would much rather be stuck with Ference.

I fail to see the potential in clarkson, and I didn't before he signed either. There's no shortage of third line grunts making less than 3 mil who can bring everything to the table he does.

Ference at least has a chance at playing up to his contract..

I was promised id love clarkson by now, and not give a poop about his contract. My opinion hasn't exactly changed.

but do you know in which order

Always loved him but he is drastically overpaid. As id Bozak, as is Kessel, as is Gunner, as is etc... Cup winners dont have overpaid players let alone several...

Yea...about that....nevermind. You seem content. Ference rules, the O'Doyle of the modern era.

Some do. But the difference between contenders and pretenders is that players take discounts to play with contenders and rape the pretenders for their services. That and the fact most cup winners have their own draft picks as stars, meaning they didn't have to over pay in the UFA market.

As for Kessel being over paid, no. No he isn't. Salaries are always on the rise and the more recent ones are going to be the more outlandish ones.

I have no issue with kessels contract.

The rest are definitely overpaid, and I agree.

Those teams also project well. So instead of bridge deals like subban got and now will get 8 million they sign guys to 4-5 million dollar long term deals like JVR making accurate projections that they will be good players. Chicago also did this with their d. Good gms make good projections, bad ones dont. So as much as its drafting its also knowing the game and players . Kessel isnt much overpaid. But he is by a million for sure, if he was a all around great player then no, but he isn't overpaid like some others thats for sure.

That wasn't exactly the point..

Are you going to pull a Captain Serious on me too now?

Dude, we're on the internet. Please dont come to hockey chat threads and expect maturity and total seriousness. Most of us joke here, if you cant take it, don't come.

Nope.. Was just pointing out that as is usually the case, you completely side stepped the point to make some peckerwood over the top assessment than can be expected from a 14 year old. Yeah dude, I remember billy Madison to.

Are you about to pull some internet rank? Lay down the clique laws?

STFU man, you're right.. It's an online forum. I don't have to achieve your pre pubescent standard to post here.

don't come? Get a (frank)ing life man..

That's why I love being here. It's like family, we talk hockey, we clown around, we rib each other. I love how how hilarious it gets on here. We are all loose on here. This aint some boring site where everybody is so serious & nobody likes to joke. That's what makes HB so unique.
