Keeping 7 or 8 guys in needed, there is a cap floor. You can't replace everyone with an ELC player.

Isn't it amazing how, after the nuke, we will laud Clarkson's contract for helping get us to the floor

You can always Florida it up with large stupid short term deals.
- Bigzby

Like Bolland? ha!

Give him two years and tell him to show he deserves a big time deal
- Canada Cup

That was the conversation with him during the last contract when he wanted big money but didn't get it. Kadri hasn't shown that he deserves big money and term. He still has upside but how long do you wait for it? If you give him the money and term he wants and doesn't get any better then your stuck with him. I would only keep him if for some reason the offers they get are horrible. Sign him for two years and try to trade him next year.

He's actually a great player if on ice performance and contract become irrelevant.

It's silly to think you can just tear it down and play all ELC players, what will that get you to, 23 million cap floor.

I agree.

I'd 100% move JVR he'll get a sexy return.

Remember fellas the we're nuclear storming this roster.
- Bigzby

Plus, as much as his deal is great compared to production, he is a huge liability defensively, floats far too much, and therefore part of the entitlement culture...

League would love it, more revenue to share lol

(I know that number is impossible)

I agree.

you'd have to be getting a top 3 pick to move him imo

contract is awesome.. and he is a solid producing big body

Quite possibly our next captain

Komarov = 3
JVR = 4.1
Gardiner = 4.5
Clarkson = 5.25

There's 16 million already. Not counting what Kadri and Bernier will get.

Hitting the floor will not be an issue, methinks

I said sexy that's pretty sexy.

He was good defensively before Carlyle. I'd like to see if he can get that back.

Quite possibly our next captain
- Bigzby

He should be Tank Captain for the next 4 years, he's the perfect fit...

Quite possibly our next captain
- Bigzby

Sure, why not! He likes the city, he's got.... good hair I guess. I don't know, it all most doesn't matter for the next few years.

Yup. And sign more bargain bin guys you can deal at the deadline.

load up on guys who can throw up 6 points in 5 weeks

i hear those guys are awesome!

I thought Clark W said to get rid of them all.

Clarkson will be one of our vets for a long time.
- Jeffmt

The only way Clarkson gets traded is if we trade a good prospect to go along with him to sweeten the pot. the return would be awful but we get rid of a contract, and also a good prospect.

He is too lazy, that is not the coaches fault... Whole top line needs to be gone...

So JVR-Kadri-Clarkson is your first line next year?

Well when we blow this poop up and JVR-Kadri-Clarkson is our top line and top PP unit, his production is BOUND to go up

- LeafMan

true...but JVR and bernier are very tradeable. we are keeping at least some dead money in clarkson etc..and we will fill out a team. But if we keep jvr and bernier, the rebuild takes MUCH longer. those are 2 of the most tradeable guys we have

So JVR-Kadri-Clarkson is your first line next year?
- BINGO!

YYyyyyyyyyuP!

A rebuild makes his contract pretty irrelevant, and I'm pretty sure that's what you're getting at. I think he's probably a good guy to have around a young team, insane contract notwithstanding. I'm not concerned about Clarkson at all if they're going to tear this down.
