I'm more worried that after the injuries, every line he was on experienced a marked drop in effectiveness. He was on the line with Couturier and Read and their level of play dipped, then back with Schenn & Simmonds and they saw a decline, too.

I liked the Vinny signing, but man, I'd trade him for a mid round pick if I could dump the bulk of his contract

Would you trade him for Clarkson and Gardiner?

Ugh...I'd actually have to ponder that.

Probably not, because Clarkson is more money and more years. Even getting Gardiner-who I really like-doesn't take the stink off that deal.

I really think the Leafs will show strong interest in him. They have their 2nd rounder but no 3rd rounder. They do have two 4th rounders though.

Hell, I would take the one of the 4th's to get him off the books.

As would I. Would wish him the best, but am hopeful that we find another way forward for next season.

If he's still here next year, I'd consider moving Voracek to LW with Giroux and use Vinny as the trigger man on the right side.

What if Clarkson offered to bake you a set of fresh pancakes every Sunday morning?

I wanted them to do that from the start. VL was bad but he was just awful at LW.

There's a lot of strikes against him. The contract is fine if he can rebound, but he's missed 57 games in 4 years, with a variety of injuries. His possession numbers the last two seasons have not be especially good. Even using the eye test, he doesn't look good out there.

He's still a smart player, and can be a lethal shooter, but I don't know that I'd risk much if I was a GM and I'd want at least $1mm eaten by the Flyers.
