I'm expecting somebody to pay at almost 5.5 per for Clarkson and considering this will be his biggest payout, lots of term to boot. As said he's probably the most attractive UFA so unfortunately that will make him too rich for what we can give.
Perhaps an older defenseman like Ference, move out Butler (probably just a fan pipe dream) and that would be considered a good summer. If Feaster is able to add a player that would grow with the team over the next 3 years, by all means go for it.
