This is the Bruce Peninsula from last week:

"While I personally find it rather difficult for someone to state or prove that one player on a team of 18 could be single handedly responsible for influencing a teams record(outside of a franchise player), the above numbers are certainly not painting a pretty picture."

I agree with what you say here, and Clarkson is not a franchise player, but the problem is he is getting paid franchise player money. We're he to have a Kulemin-type contract there would probably be no hate towards him.

Going forward 5 million will not be franchise money.

5 million right now gets you Jason Pominville.

For franchise money I think we're talking 6.5 and up...

highbury? you work in town still?

I like how he has a shovel in his hand.......

Lived in the states almost 20 years and never heard it measured in cms...

Yup - was on a conf call earlier this week with a co. in DC, mentioned snow in CM and they asked us to translate that into inches like Canada is the only country in the world that uses a different system of measurement.

5.25 isn't franchise money any more, or they could have saved a lot on the Kessel and Phaneuf contracts. It's definitely top 6 money though, which is why they should play him in the top 6!

I was chuckling about that too...what the hell is that shovel going to accomplish.

It must be an area that they get drifting.

Yep.

Yes, indeed they are.

That's why I find it kind of ironic that we knew how to translate CM to Inches, Celsius to Fahrenheit, etc., but they didn't.

Yep.

A little odd, I think. However, I still talk in Miles per gallon.

Yeah all depends on the plow timing... I would go home unless a plow is coming later
