Granted, but it's not like Eichel had Team Germany around him. This isn't to say that he's going to be a terrible player. He's going to be very good, possibly great. McDavid is just going to be that much better. There was no excuse for the no-shows against Canada or Russia. Darnell Nurse ate him alive.

If the Leafs added a second I'd consider it
- homiedclown



I'd consider it regardless honestly.

Neither are living up to their contracts but Clarkson is doing more to than Cody.

IMO.

Personally, I'd rather have zero bad contracts on my books, but that's just me.

David Clarkson RW
5,250,000
5,250,000
5,250,000
5,250,000
5,250,000
5,250,000 That is a lot for guy that hasn't been the same player since he left the Devils.

- SABRES 89



It is but he does the little things that Cody has zero want to do.

IMO it would need to be Clarkson + for Cody but I wouldn't be opposed to a deal.

Ie: I'm not in love with it but I also don't hate it. It's a "hockey tradel".

Let me ask this..................... do you move Hodgson to the Leafs for Clarkson? just a question.
- SABRES 89

No but I would for Jake Gardiner.....and I think Gardiner has alwaus been incredibly over valued

Agreed but like I said IMO on a Nolan team, Clarkson has way more value than Hodgson does.

If Hodgson isn't scoring he's as usless as presant day gerbe75pts.

If Clarkson isn't scoring, he's at least doing the little things.


I don't like it or love it. Just could see where something like that could be discussed.

My bias against the coach aside, this isn't going to be a "Nolan Team" for very long. It can't be if they ever want to be truly serious about contending for a championship. That contract ties them up in the future when these guys, which we all hope turn out as good as we project them to be, are up for contracts.

Hodgson and Gardiner have similar contracts. It could be a hockey trade.

Both have been benched this year

Contract is off the books when Reinhart and McEichel would need to be re-upped.
