OMG this day is phenomenal. It's gone that well I'm going to ask the missus if the bum is an option tonight. I feel that optimistic, I'm going to suggest in hers tonight.

David Clarkson is owed $27.5M in real dollars over the next five years. Nathan Horton is owed $26.1M.


thought it was Monopoly money this whole time...
- MCharisma91

Well, Horton has a higher cap hit but it was more front loaded I guess.



RIP capgeek

I don't think a trade like this takes a capologist.... its pretty simple math...
- jribout

No but someone knew that it was worth CBJ's while to take Clarkson to get out from under Horton's payments

Nobody (frank)ing pinch me.

CBJ initiated trade proposal with TOR. They wanted to lose Horton's financial commitment for player who couldn't play. CBJ wanted Clarkson.

Nonis is a genius!!! All he had to do is not say "NO".

5.25 extra million cap space a year to make the team more competitive is nothing? Leafs make a tonne of money so who cares
- GardinerExpress

AGREED! If there was no cap the Leafs would be the highest spending team in the NHL. Also the value of the Clarkson contract being removed from the books and revving up the whole rebuilding process into high gear is way more valuable to MLSE than 5 million. They spend so much more on TFC players and got little to nothing outta them after 1 year and still keep going after more. It's a moot point.

let the bad contract acquisition speculation begin

I'm calling bickell from chicago

edit..damn auto correct

Play this song at my funeral thx guys:

also I can die happy now

The three trades made in the last 10 days haven't seemed to me like they are Nonis like moves. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think this is a coincidence.
- mcleafs

This is similar to the first Franson trade, and if I remember correctly burke said nonis had been working on it.

Remember how we got that new capologist this summer?

Think he had a say in this?
- Feeling Glucky?

I think everybody had a say in a deal this big, including a board willing to spend $26.5 million for a player who will probably never play again, in exchange for $5.25 million in cap space for the next 5 years.

Is Yashin still getting paid?

Praising Dave Nonis for this Clarkson deal is like praising a guy for doing a really great job of cleaning up after he puked on your floor.

He still gave away 26 million dollars.

I don't care how much money you have... it's a lot of money.

The leafs arent the only big company to lose big. But honestly, who gives a sh!t? The leafs won today, and youre just pissed off because the leafs made a good move and you cant troll.

not when you bring in 195 million a year

Here's my question now. With all the acquired draft picks and cap space do they continue the rebuild or try and take a short cut and use their cap space on ufa's. the core is awful and still in tact but after seeing this i truly believe we will have no issues moving Kessel and Phaneuf. I hope these guys stay the course and dont go half assed on this rebuild.
