DrChill Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hey! Just wondering what you guys would offer Clarkson assuming he makes it to UFA. Would you go for a 7 year deal to bring him in? How love could the average be if it was a 7 year deal? What can we afford? Where would you like to see him 1st with Sedins? 2nd with Booth and Kesler?

Master Mind Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I wouldn't do a 7 year deal. 4 maybe 5 tops. And he'll probably get 5-6 on the open market. Too much for us. If someone offers him a 7 year deal they might be able to get him down to 4.5 per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I am guessing he will get 5 million per year via FA bidding. I wouldn't be a fan of a 7 year deal though that takes him to 36 and players like him who have such a high physical demand on their bodies each year tend to fall off younger. Especially average sized athletes like Clarkson who is 6'1 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Someone is going to offer him one of the following. 4 years @ $5 million, 5 years @ $5.5 million or 5 years @ $6 million. I don't see him hitting the open markets and some rumours have him as good as signed in Toronto. Think of him like Chris Neil, with more offensive upside, younger bigger and worth the money people were saying the canucks should have traded for him 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apples Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 7 year is too long. 3-5 years for around 3-5 mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrible.dee Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Clarkson is one of those players whose production could fall off the map at any time, Whoever signs him to an inflated deal will regret it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Canuck Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I think clarkson is exactly the type of guy we need. A heart and soul and a gritty player who can score 30+ goals. I'd put him with the sedins but I don't think we can afford him unless MG can work some magic and get rid of a lot of salary. I'd also like to take a run at bickell. A 3rd line with bickell and kassian on the wings would be sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Higgins and Hansen on 4th then? I would love to get Clarkson, be interesting to see if he had chemistry with Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrChill Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 I think what he meant was this Sedin - Sedin - Clarkson Higgins - Kesler - Burrows Bickell - Schroeder? - Kassian UFA/Trade - Lapierre - Hansen Looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 nah we have enough players like Clarkson and he'll get over 5M a year based off 1 good season. Not worth handcuffing us for years to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
