What would be the cost of buying out a player with a no movement clause and is owed $31,500,000.00 over the next 6 years?
Toronto Maple Leafs off season Summer 2014
- Thread starter Ironhead
- Start date
Maybe just maybe that with Statsny in the middle it would make Clarkson a better player than last year?I can see Nonis making a pitch for Statsny, just buy out Clarkson to clear some space.
TSN reporting Leafs close to acquiring Gorges from montreal. Who goes the other way ?
Clarkson might be the worst signing ever, even worse than that Holik and Gomez contract.
How he got that contract with one decent season is pure witchcraft.

It sounds impossible but it's possible that Broduer could end up signing with the Leafs tommorow. Then, he maybe able to help out Clarkson's game as they were teammates in Jerseys.Clarkson might be the worst signing ever, even worse than that Holik and Gomez contract.

TSN now reports Gorges has refused trade to Toronto and won't change his mind on going to the Leafs, but he can always change his mind. Apparentaly he's pissed off at Montreal for putting him on the trade block and is maybe throwing a wrench into the Habs-Leafs deal just to spite the Habs.Gorges will have to agree to a trade to the Leafs, non of the other Canadian based teams are on his trade list so he can block any trade to the Leafs if he so chooses.
Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Tim Gleason is replacing Darcy Tucker on the roster next year ... Leafs will buy him out but we will see his name taking up cap space for the next 4 years ...
Nuts no ... Cluesless maybe .. One moment they trade for a guy and sign their Captain for a long term contact and the next moment they are buying one guy out and the other is on the trade market ..I thought you were kidding. Is the team nuts? Gleason is hard working, blocks shots, adds toughness and you put him on waivers? Letting Gunner go made sense, he was much too soft. But if the Leafs want to buy out someone, do it with Phaneuf. This is really a shame, you trade away Liles who I also liked, now add both a hit on the cap, and have no return. I can only imagine it having to do with the free agent frenzy, it makes GMs simple minded.
Regardless what Toronto has in mind July 1, I'd still have kept Gleason.
Let's not say it is just the Leafs ... Every Canadian do some weird crap ... Previous summer Sens appoint new Captain and next summer he wants out of this country .. Last summer Vancouver ships out a goaltender in order to end soap opera and next couple of months they trade the goaltender that they gave the keys to the car again ..

One years is a bit premature to say but Clarkson could be the worst signing in Toronto sports history. Right now Vernon Wells is the worst.
No.Are you going to go through the entire list of Hall and potential Hall members one by one ?
Does Pavel Bure belong in your HHoF?
Makes you understand why people have Canadian Cities on their do not trade too list .. Clarkson has to hear in his hometown by so many media outlets how he has been a bust .. His family has to live in this community and constantly here this stuff .. This guy didn't forget how to play hockey ....When was the last time a Canadian team won the Cup?

Your making some valid points ... If criteria is games played for justification for not letting Lindros in then you have to give examples on situations where guys got in and didn't have a long career ..
I don't know, at least Vernon had some productive years.
I see nothing to suggest Clarkson will be anywhere near a 20 goal scorer...would be nice to see him crack 20+, but I'm not holding my breath!

No Rick Dipietro is the worst signing ever.Clarkson might be the worst signing ever, even worse than that Holik and Gomez contract.

Marty Brodeur will be in the hall before Lindros.Your making some valid points ... If criteria is games played for justification for not letting Lindros in then you have to give examples on situations where guys got in and didn't have a long career ..

I think the reasoning is that the Leafs got Polak...
Polak pretty much does what Gleason does but is younger and is a much better skater (though I'm not sure if he takes pucks to the face as well as Gleason)...
So that made Gleason redundant....
I liked Liles but its pretty much the same story with him....except he had two players that can replace what he had in Reilly and Gardiner....

I think you got to give Clarkson another season before declaring worst trade ever...
Clarkson had some bad luck with the 10 Game Suspension and Injuries....
He had trouble finding a fit in the Leafs lineup....and when he did start playing well he had to stop because of surgery to his elbow...
And by the end of the season it seemed like the whole team had lost its mojo and that was it for Clarkson (and the rest of the team)...
Bolland gone for 5 year / 27.5 mil, hate to see him go I think he potentially could've brought a lot to the table but no way Leafs would pay him what Florida did.
Leafs are a rush team, Clarkson isn't a rush player. Just not a good fit.
Bolland to the Panthers...
Bolland to the Panthers...
Good...... Signings happening fast and furious nothing yet for the Leafs.
