Clarkson for Horton?

What an absolute steal. Even if Horton never plays another game again, cap relief, sweet, sweet cap relief.

Just kiss me.

Well he is the dumby who signed him in the first place so I guess he broke even, at best but his UFA choices are now suspect.
- JohnFergusonJr

And he's now wasting MLSEs money on a player not playing... Which I dont give a (frank) about, just saying though.

One happy byproduct of the Horton-Clarkson deal. Columbus is three points ahead of the #leafs in the standings & should have an uptick.



No Mike....

its good alliteration though...

Phaneuf for Pronger next

People still think Shanny bad?

David Clarkson had to approve the move to #CBJ. He welcomed the change of scenery.


Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

couldn't wait to get the (frank) out

I'm from Welland and my favourite team just got a Welland guy (or close to it), what a great trade by Nonis
- Conquest

You put that out there like that?

Can't believe that Horton's contract wasn't insured???

Bad GM!!!
- jimmc7722

Well, insurance companies are often bastards so it was more likely a refusal to do so from their point of view. Which would (and indeed is) a prudent move in hindsight...

As an aside, Nathan Horton’s injury is really heartbreaking. “I can’t bend over. I can’t play with my kids. I can’t sleep at night."

poor guy.. feel bad for him

"I'm not close to anything else right now" -nonis

What did the five fingers say to Clarkson's face?

Dunville isn't very close to Welland in terms of proximity or otherwise.

Oops..he just fell.

His health probably prevented the contract to be insured.

alright, who blew their load?

I keep expecting to see us having to also send a first...
Too good to be true

Nonis on Horton: "We get a player back who, if he comes back, can be an elite player. If he doesn't we get cap space." #leafs

Whoever did this did well. I suspect that everybody had a part, but still... awesome day

Good for him. Helps him, helps the team.

Probably their cap guy - Pridham. But Shanny made some smart hires

Who's driving him to the airport?

Nonis said this deal "just fell together" and really picked up today.

Nonis should (frank)ing pick up the Phaneuf trade again dammit
