It's a favour for the Jackets. They can't afford to pay a guy 5mil to never play. As poop as Clarkson is, he technically is on the ice. They don't have the budget to do that.

No. I find it's a good deal. Toronto can flush that money down the drain no problem. The jackets get a body to actually play.

CBJ is paying, best case scenario a 3rd liner, a lot of money for a really long time. I understand the financial side, but still seems crazy.

It takes the Leafs out one hell of a jam. Habs should trade for Marc Savard.

Boston can afford it.

Pretty sure they know what they get. But they can't afford a Horton not playing at all. Also there's a chance Wendel finds his game back in columbus.

And by find his game back, I mean be able to stand on his skates without falling all over the place in every shift.

How can somebody play 112 minutes of power play time and get only one point...like it's almost impossible.

There was this guy in Montreal who likely had similar numbers. His name escapes me but I think he was Mexican

But that would be Therrien's fault.

Honestly, the financial commitment towards Lars Eller from the habs should be ridiculed. It's not Clarkson bad, but it's bad nonetheless.
