So Glencross basically coasting puts up 65 goals and 117 pts the last 3 years.
Clarkson is a Glencross type player who is playing all out all the time get 57 goals and 88 pts.
The reason that people like Clarkson is that he plays with emotion.
Clarkson , one year younger than Glencross just got a 7 year 5.25 contract.
Glencross with this year and next year at 2.5 M is worth more on the market than Iginla AND Bouwmeester.
If Philly wants him it would be for both Schenns (first one a prospect and the older one a salary dump) and their 2014 1st.
Think Regehr and a 2nd for Butler.
They really pouched the pup this summer...
Streit 35 gets 5 years @ 5.25,
They "won" Vinny at age 33 5 years for 4.5,
They locked up Hartnell at age 31 for 6 years at 4.2.
They are paying Giroux 8.25 M for the next 8 years to carry this team . Is Giroux a generational player?.. Cosby , Ovechkin, Chara... Even compared to Doughty he got more money and longer term.
They have their #6 dman Luke Schenn locked up for the next 3 years at 3.6.
This is the core of a team that without winning their last 4 meaningless games would have been as bad as last years Flames.
