Agreed, aside from maybe Kessel the Leafs have a bunch of second liners essentially. Decent enough talent overall, but not Cup contenders yet. Kessel is a pending free agent anyway, and will probably be asking for 8 million. So no guarantee he'll be there next year anyway.

Can live with Bozak at $4.2 but to buy out Grabovski's 4 years and $5.5 only to then go and sign Clarkson for 7 years at $5.5 is ridiculous.
No idea what Nonis is thinking here.

There really needs to be an over/under thread on when some of these dumb contracts will be bought out.

Can we lock Feaster in a closet somewhere far away from a phone?

Too much for Clarkson, and I like him.
But it's the first day of UFA signings, so most of the bigger deals will be bad. Happens every year.

Yay, very happy about this. Two less guys that the Flames can open the vaults for. Now I want to hear that Mayson Raymond has signed, elsewhere.

The Clarkson deal is leotarded. Why did we have a lockout?

$36.75 million is the amount over the 7.

Why? All the big guys are gone and Feaster hasn't handed out a terrible contact yet this year.

Yeah I agree he's done well so far I'm not being hard on him. I'm just hoping it continues. Even if he gets someone for a decent price I like the situation right now where our prospects are going to get a lot of ice time and will be relied upon in key situations. I think that's fantastic for development. And I want these European goalies to get a shot, signing Ramo was a good step in that direction. I don't want him to say "Oh we can get Bryz/Thomas for really cheap lets go for it".
