Roszival back with Chicago. Hopefully we can dump Brookbank somewhere and bring up Stanton or get Johns signed.

You guys can have Brookbank.

Poor Brookbank never got a chance haha.

 

[yyzjohn]

He's from Mimico, he's gonna fucking bring it!

 

[BigJonsson]

Low 5's for Clarkson

 

[Plinko]

Wings announce they're not going after Grabovski. Not surprised after that rant against the coach. Holland/Babcock can't deal with that.

 

[Fei]

I know Clarkson has a complete game, but a 7 year contract is crazy. His last two months of the season:

28 GP: 5 goals, 2 assists

 

[Wingfan19]

Wait? Phoenix is getting renamed to be the Arizona Coyotes?

 

[Plinko]

I know Clarkson has a complete game, but a 7 year contract is crazy. His last two months of the season:

27 GP: 5 goals, 2 assists

Wow, he would have fit right in with Detroit's top guys.

 

[Heretic]

Ducks need to go after Grabovski. I like the speed he bring to the table.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Wait? Phoenix is getting renamed to be the Arizona Coyotes?

Yes. Part of the new deal they voted on.

 

[Marvie_3]

Poor Brookbank never got a chance haha.

He did, but he wasn't that good and Chicago's defense was really deep this year. Not really any place for him.

Wait? Phoenix is getting renamed to be the Arizona Coyotes?

Yes. It was part of the lease agreement with Glendale.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

And we got Olesz!!!

A fucking AHL player thats never sniffed the playoffs...

Jim Matheson @NHLbyMatty
Weiss is going to be $6 mil a year signing for Wings or Blues.

$6 million for Weiss but PPG Ribeiro gets $5.5 million?

 

[BigJonsson]

Joffrey Lupul ‏@JLupul 27s

Oh thats sweet. It's probably time for him to start paying some rent, right? RT PKessel81: My buddy is back leaf nation


lol

 

[Simon Belmont]

I like the Clarkson signing. Toronto boy, and he fits Carlyle's style like a glove. I would have traded Grabovski for Clarkson straight up.

 

[Osorio]

I know Clarkson has a complete game, but a 7 year contract is crazy. His last two months of the season:

He doesn't know how to skate and takes really stupid penalties.

Great as a third line forward, awful on the first two lines.

He went on a scoring tear when goalies had been in training camp for only a week.

At least he drops the gloves? And his terrible skating bring lots of rebounds his way.

 

[kassatsu]

Scud missile back to the burgh, thank fucking god!

Where you been man!

 

[Coldnoodle]

$6 million for Weiss but PPG Ribeiro gets $5.5 million?

Weiss is 30, Ribeiro is 33.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

$6 million for Weiss but PPG Ribeiro gets $5.5 million?

Dang it

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Derek Roy is still available guys!

The Stalberg contract is making Clarkson and Bozak's look reasonable.

 

[Osorio]

What're you trying to say?

From what I gather he had double digit goals and assists on some bad Florida teams.

Still, underwhelmed is not even close to the word right now.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Nothing will hurt as bad as losing Grabmyballski.

 

[yyzjohn]

I like the Clarkson signing. Toronto boy, and he fits Carlyle's style like a glove. I would have traded Grabovski for Clarkson straight up.

Clarkson has to score 25 goals or this deal is shit.

 

[Merguson]

Nick Kypreos @RealKyper
confirming #Leafs Clarkson 36.75M over 7 yrs on new deal.

Okay, I just fulfilled the purpose of this gif. I'm done.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I'm hoping if we sign him for 6 that it is for a shorter term like 2-3 years. Not liking this at all right now if that is the cap hit.

 

[Samyy]

I already see Leaf fans trying to rationalize this
Fucking idiots theres nothing good about this deal with Clarkson

 

[Fei]

Derek Roy is still available guys!

:lol I think I'll always view him as the personification of the last five years of Sabres failures.

 

[BigJonsson]

5.25 AAV for Wendel Clarkson

 

[Curufinwe]

I wonder if Bryz ends up in Calgary.

 

[Stasis]

Derek Roy to Habs? Complete the trio of Five-Niners? Then move DD. Two inches gained.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Okay, I just fulfilled the purpose of this gif. I'm done.

 

[Smiley90]

What's he going to do, retire?

This is my response. Is he gonna retire? Not respond? Demand a trade (like that's gonna help)?

 

[bonesmccoy]

Clarkson, 36.75m over 7 years.

 

[purg3]

Where you been man!

Moved in with the girlfriend a couple of months ago, so haven't been very active on here due to Internet issues at her place so now that its worked out I'll be around more. Was probably for the best I wasn't around during the playoffs hahaha

 

[lamaroo]

Mike Komisarek has been the best signing today, let that sink in.

 

[Plinko]

TSN just had Weiss shown as signed with Detroit.

If he signs for 6 million I'll :lol all night.

 

[bishoptl]

If this is where the FA ceiling is (re: Clarkson/Stallberg) I'm glad that the Canucks are sitting this out. Ye gods.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Clarkson has to score 25 goals or this deal is shit.

Of course, based on the universal and well known market value of exactly $208,000 per goal.

 

[Smiley90]

I'd just like to say that Briere to Montreal and Alfie to Detroit are the most "confirming the stereotype" signings there possibly could've been.

 

[Merguson]

Clarkson - Bolland - Kulemin

truculence, pugnacity, belligerence?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Mike Komisarek has been the best signing today, let that sink in.

Komisarek and Ballard got really reasonable deals.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Clarkson also has a limited no trade/no move.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

TSN just had Weiss shown as signed with Detroit.

If he signs for 6 million I'll :lol all night.

Yes, may change to a NOOOOOOO if it is 6 million for 4+. 6 million for 2-3 is OK, not good, but not that bad. 4+ and then I will riot.

 

[Socreges]

Woah, Boyd Gordon got $3m per season? I doubt anyone else was willing to pay that much

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Over under on the inevitable Clarkson buyout.

I'm calling three years tops

 

[BigJonsson]

Yes, may change to a NOOOOOOO if it is 6 million for 4+. 6 million for 2-3 is OK, not good, but not that bad. 4+ and then I will riot.

Which big UFA has signed for 2-3 years lol

 

[lamaroo]

I'd just like to say that Briere to Montreal and Alfie to Detroit are the most "confirming the stereotype" signings there possibly could've been.

Nathan Gerbe to Montreal.

Komisarek and Ballard got really reasonable deals.

Forgot about Ballard, good signing.

 

[DopeyFish]

Clarkson has an NTC and NMC? Are you kidding?

 

[Wingfan19]

Yes, may change to a NOOOOOOO if it is 6 million for 4+. 6 million for 2-3 is OK, not good, but not that bad. 4+ and then I will riot.

How the fuck does Weiss think he deserves to get 6+ mil a year??? He's had like 1 good season. Filppula wasn't even looking to get 6+.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

How the fuck does Weiss think he deserves to get 6+ mil a year??? He's had like 1 good season. Filppula wasn't even looking to get 6+.

Apparently Flip is looking for 5-5.5 for 7-8 years.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Odd how there has literally been no buzz on Iginla
