Last month, Horton said he wants to play again.. Is there anyway, we can prevent that from happening?
- PatC80

He's not going to play again.

Even if he does, he can't be worse than Clarkson.

Just can't be

Thanks, that is a nice spot.

For Glucker?

Nah, they'll need one of these...


- BINGO!

This woulda been funnier:

The kind that tells him to bend over cause he'll need to put something in deep.
- PatC80

What's more disturbing is that he keeps going back.

DDD is serious poop...he may try to crack the roster next training camp, but he's 1 more heavy check from being (frank)ed the rest of his life...regardless, whether he plays or not, his numbers/value will always be better than Clarksons

He's not going to play again.

I'd like to hear what horton thinks of the deal. Hes getting paid regardless so it probably doesn't make a difference

Hopes that with enough practice, they'll get up to 10 minutes

Money is not the major issue for the Leafs, cap space is.

It may sound silly to trade for a player who will never play a single game for the Leafs, but it tells you that the Leafs would rather throw 25M dollars in a trashcan then keep David Clarkson.
- Scabeh

somebody deserves a pat on the back for that?

The Horton contract counted against their cap as they weren't a cap-maxed team
- robin_steele264

i know but no matter how you slice it, they still chose Clarkson over capspace (and the ability to sign someone who is actually worth $5 million)

Gets paid in Canadian dollars now

Does anyone know if the Leafs put Horton on unconditional waivers with the intention of mutually terminating the contract, can they pay him out his $26M lump sum and avoid LTIR cap restrictions?

Probably just calls someone else in for a second opinion.

I don't think last night is an indication of anything other than Bernier being a freaking awesome goalie.

He stopped 47 of 49, and the only two goals he let in were both PP, one of which was a 5 on 3 that not even Price could've whiffed at.

I highly doubt he plays THAT well every night. Plus we'll throw Reimer in a couple times.
- mcleafs

It kind of changed my mind on which goalie we should keep around.

If we strike it rich this draft, then having a goalie capable of stopping 47 shots will be something positive to look forward to once some of them start coming into their own 2-3 years from now.

I'd be fine if they pulled a Habs and things turned right around for them next season (talking about when Habs got Galchenyuk).

They chose Clarkson over paying 5 mill for no player that counted against their cap

Not sure but you cannot do it with an injured player.

On a strickly hockey team management point of view, yes.

But I guess that's without considering he's the one that signed Clarkson in the first place.

What's more disturbing is that he keeps going back.

Practice makes perfect, right?

Thanks, that is a nice spot.

Beautiful. Lots to do other than skiing as well. Friend of mine from law school has a house there.

What other team is in full rebuild, has a contract they really want to unload and has the cash to make this happen?

exactly, imagine if I cost my employer $25m...

Probably be in jail

For owning up to his colossal error and SOMEHOW moving that monster contract, Nonis does deserve a bit of credit.

The money isn't ours

EDIT: (frank)er should still be fired for ever getting us in the mess to begin with though

- LeafMan

I think you can if the player agrees to it.


And then give him a front office job.

What exactly are the restrictions?
