He’s basically David Clarkson at this point. Hopefully the Flames can get out of this contract just like the Leafs with Clarkson.

Leafs traded Clarkson to Columbus for Nathan Horton who is still on there books but career is over due to injuries. Anybody else like that?, I think there was some talk about Roberto Luongo "retiring" due to injury but staying on the payroll to avoid recapture penalties mainly for Vancouver.
