What Will Tim L Do?

Yeah, I don't hold out much hope for any improved play from Clarkson. He a) can't keep up with any of our top 9 forwards, b) has the passing skills of a blind man, and c) is a ****ing dumbass.

Him and Bolland had chemistry but then again do you really want to have $10 million tied up on two third liners? Waste of cap space. If I'm Nonis I try to either peddle him off on the first sucker that comes calling or I buy him out, either way he shouldnt be back here next year.

Not really, no. But I agree with your conclusion regardless.
 
So looks like Nonis has been a disaster since taking over. Clarkson signing, Bolland trade(2 2nds for a combined 25ish games), non-activity at the deadline.

The Bernier trade looks to be mostly Leiweke.

F*ck, i wish Clarkson was better than he is. So much hype, so little result.

The inactivity at the deadline looks to be the true killer.

Clarkson's contract caused for the inactivity...

Disagree about bolland tho. No one could foresee the injury that he had. He was pretty damn good before it.
 
In hindsight anyways. I was a huge fan of the Bolland trade. Didn't play out in our favor, and looks like we might lose him to UFA.

You win some you lose some, and unless we resign him, we lost the trade. Those picks may never end up anything, but at best it would be a non factor. If Chicago ends up drafting the next Bergeron with either pick, i will burn down the ACC.

1. The Clarkson signing was by far his hugest **** up, I don't how how you can justify giving a 3rd liner that type of contract, it looks even worse now given how poorly hes preformed, and yes folks Paul freakin Ranger is outscoring him this season

2. To be fair about Bolland- It was a fair valued deal for him, and in Nonis's defense nobody could forsee that freak injury occuring. However the trade looks really bad IF we cannot resign him, then yea we lose assets for nothing. Nonis has two courses to reedeem himself here and its either a) resign Bolland or b) trade him at the draft floor for a pick or prospect, at least he'd be getting something back in return.

3. Signing Raymond to a 1 year/1M deal was pure genuis on his end. For what he payed, Raymond has 18 goals and 45 points excellent for such a cheap signing, a-plus move.

4. Another beef I have with him was using the buyouts on Komi instead of Liles.

5. Him refusing to do **** all at the deadline was BS, I mean there were tons of good players to be had for picks... why he sat on his hands and did nothing I'll never understand, for that alone he should be shown the door.

Hate when ppl say that about picks that aren't high up in the draft. What are the odds if we kept the pick we would chose the same guy? And develop that guy in the same manner as the hawks?

Ya, easier with the #2 overall pick, In the kessel deal, to point and see what we gave up. But that far down the draft, it's open season to who we would take. All it is, is we lost an opportunity to steal a decent player out of the draft as we trade a pick.
