Canucks1219 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 How bad is clarkson? Idk, as bad as this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 what role should his type be playing? the Leafs may be at fault for overpaying him, but have they really put him in the wrong role as well? idts on what teams is he a beauty 2nd liner? He's not. He might be a serviceable 3rd liner at mid 2s for contract, but Nonis screwed up badly with this one. Gave the guy a career contract to play a role he is not skilled enough to fill. Not going to lie - I love it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkin Cookies Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 lol beauty 2nd liner on any team? yeah right you're dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Clarkson and Stephen Weiss of Detroit are probably the 2 worst signings in the recent 2 years. Ribeiro in PHX? he just doesn't seem to have much of that most important muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 It is enjoyable to watch them implode. Fat Kessel, Fat Bozak, Lame Duck Clarkson, Diane Phaneuf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Emerick Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Reminds me of Sather's wishful signings in Holik and Gomez thinking they were superstars trapped in Devils jerseys when in reality they were already being utilized in their best situations. I remember Shero had similar hopes for Paul Martin as well thinking he had another gear. Clarkson just looks lost in Carlyle's system and just doesn't gel with his linemates the same way he did w/ guys like Elias and Zubrus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 He is an Edler but a forward. Had a few great years , got his big money and sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 He is an Edler but a forward. Had a few great years , got his big money and sucks Edler isn't nearly as bad as people make him out to be. Anyways, that's a discussion for another thread. No way in hell does Edler = Clarkson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 He had one year with 30 goals and another year that, if pro-rated was on pace for 26 goals, so I can somewhat see why he was paid so much, but I still wouldn't have taken the risk Toronto did in paying him as much as they did and certainly not for that term.

RRypien37 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Clarkson and Stephen Weiss of Detroit are probably the 2 worst signings in the recent 2 years. Nothing will beat Engelland at just under 3 million per.....for 3 years. He was a fringe #6/#7 guy in Pit and wasn't even in the line-up every night. Madness.

Warhippy Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Just uhhmm...wanna point out. Before he got signed, a large portion of the CDC crowd demanded Gillis pay what he wanted and were convinced he was worth $4.5 to $5 million a year. Just think on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Pretty bad but it's hilarious to watch the Leafs suffer so it doesn't bother me how much they're paying him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Considering he scored 30 and then 25 (pro-rated), I think the better questions are: 1) How bad is David Clarkson's coach?, and 2) How bad is David Clarkson's team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The funniest thing about Clarkson is they bought out Grabovski to sign him. So you can indirectly tack on a few more million to that contract, not to mention the loss of their best possession-driving player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
