Confirmed with Link: Clarke MacArthur signs 5 year contract

[IranCondraAffair]

He definitely gave the Sens the term and dollars they wanted.

The NMC seems to be the quid pro quo. Gives him the leverage he needs to screw the sens if they try and take advantage of the dollars and term he gave up by trading him down the road.

Very reasonable contract given his production. He doesn't have a ton of bad miles on him. I'm comfortable letting him play to 35.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I actually think MacArthur is not done peaking. I think he could be a very late bloomer.

If Turris and Ryan get better, so will MacArthur.

 

[SixthSens]

Very pleased with this signing! Nice job Murray and co.

I totally agree. I think he will benefit from having Turris and the rest of the supporting cast get better and his point totals could go up as the team becomes more mature.

Am I the only one that thinks the Sens massively overpaid for MacArthur, considering Melnyk doesn't want to spend to the cap?

MacArthur last year was easily a 5m player and a hard working speedy player we sorely lacked, and also his extension still won't kick in until next year so he'll get his money when the cap is higher

Just seems to me that they're putting an awful lot of faith in one player long-term after one good value season...

 

[Scrub*]

Good deal for both sides.

Turris and Macarthur were the only 2 players that showed chemistry together last year. I think when u see that you have to re-sign him, at worst he's our 2nd line centre in 3-4 years.

55 points
20 points .5 ppg(considered terrible year)
43 points
60 points

1 good season? He's also scored 20+ goals 3 of last 4 years.

 

[Stylizer1]

Thanks for identifying the source.

The recording quality was poor, so that is probably why Bryan Murray sounded weak.

I get annoyed when I sign in to TSN videos as a Bell subscriber and then have to sit through two ads.

His voice didn't sound good. good quality or not

 

[DrEasy]

Fair deal. Good player. DrEasy happy.

 

[ErikNorrisson]

I like this deal. I hope we get some more things done before training camp.

 

[Officer Fred]

Unlike the other vets on the team, this guy can actually set an example for team.

This is the thing that I like most about this signing. He play's the game the right way. Every game.

No, there's also another guy who called MacA a 3rd liner.

Just seems to me that they're putting an awful lot of faith in one player long-term after one good value season...

2010-11 Toronto Maple Leafs NHL 82 21 41 62
2011-12 Toronto Maple Leafs NHL 73 20 23 43
2012-13 Toronto Maple Leafs NHL 40 8 12 20
2013-14 Ottawa Senators NHL 79 24 31 55

Last 4 seasons, he has averaged 22 goals and 32 assists (54 points) per 82 games

 

[Benjamin]

and his in his low season he was being used as a defensive 3rd liner...

 

[Tundraman]

The contract is near the going rate. He may have gotten a few more dollars on a much shorter term but it would have also depended on how he performed this coming year. Good security for Mac and good for the Sens to lock up a solid top 6 LW. Mac and Turris are a very good duo. Call it a 1st or 2nd line at least 1 line is a locked in long term regardless of who plays the right side.

 

[Sensinitis]

MacArthur/Puempel/Hoffman/Michalek/etc. is some of the best LW depth we've ever had.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

The obvious downside of this contract is that we'll never see Stone dawn #16 with the Sens. And that's about it.

 

[saskriders]

Hallelujlah

Love Clarke

Man I can't wait until the Sens acquire a #1 line!

He needed some sort of a raise. C'mon now.
