Not entirely true. Don't forget. A team always has the right to walk away from the arbitrator's decision. The Thrashers did that to Clarke MacArthur, making him a Free Agent

We would still end up getting nothing for him. That is why you need to trade him now.

This

Everybody needs to understand this. Some nutty arbitrator who merely looks at pts is going to award this clown over 4 million a year, maybe 5 million. And like the BullDozzer said, then we are STUCK with him for the entire year.

He needs to be moved NOW.

Shat........ I just agreed with the Dozzer.

Now i'm really confused

a team cannot walk away from the decision unless its over 5 million now

welcome to the new CBA

Favouite young D story comes from Ottawa. They had to make a choice between two young players. Redden or Chara.
Anyone want to ask Ottawa how that one worked out?
- ILoveLamp

I think the Isles wound up with more egg on their face about Chara than anyone.

But then they wouldn't have Tavares

they had carcillo to ice when they won the cup last year.. like i said to french.. i bet both chicago and anaheim grab tough guys at the deadline.
- Dozzer

No, they didn't Dozzer. Carcillo was in the press box.

EDIT: Bollig is a heavyweight, BTW.

Reimer and Franson for Giordano an overpayment???

IF it goes to arbitration i hope like hell its plus 5 so they can walk away

they need to ink him to a multiyear deal or trade him at the deadline.

I think the Rags got ripped off.

- Dozzer

He didn't play in the Finals. Might have played against the Wild.

agreed.. but clarkson will get the nod everytime.. for the next 7 years anyways
- Dozzer

ashton has been no favourite of mine, but damn clarkson has been a disappointment of epic proportions.
ashton plugs a hole on the cheap, I can respect that......clarkson at 5 milly, not so much.

Yup it was bad, but made a lot worse by the deal they signed Yashin to after.

you see what MDZ just got the rags?

looks like the market just isnt there for d-men this year.

cause sather is usually the guy owning the trade market.

Someone didnt like the waterbottle meme

No way do you compare Franson with Gards.

Gards has brain farts, without a doubt. Skill wise...... Franson can't even hold Gards jock strap for him.



- faceto27

Gardiner has 1 skill...skating...zero hockey sense...ZERO

Franson makes great hard passes..actually harder passes then Gardiners shot.



I give up...Gards ice went up...Leafs points didn't...move him back to 3rd pairing where he should be and bingo!!!! ( Gleason hasn't hurt either )
