Grabovski's two seasons were in an open offense system. Since Carlyle has come in, he clearly hasn't been happy.
Clarkson is bringing in leadership, and a quality team-mate.
I can almost guarantee you that if both players are on 3rd line minutes, down 2-0 in a game and Grabovski isn't saying anything. Instead he's sulking in the corner about the minutes he's playing. Clarkson the other hand is going to step up and say something and get one of those scrappy goals needed to succeed in this league. Or he'll go out there and stir **** up. Grabovski doesn't fit this team. Doesn't matter what you say if he doesn't fit the team.
You can almost guarantee he'd sulk, eh?
Based on the fact that he didn't do that all year?
Based on the fact that he kept his mouth shut, put his head down, and gave 100% every game?
Can you not shoot your own foot, just once?
This isn't about Grabo. It was about the principle. And it was correct. People were *****ing about that contract the other day, and this one is worse. Plain and simple.
Regardless of how Clarkson plays, people will be *****ing again in a year or two, saying he's not providing 5.25 million worth. It's a cycle, and you're just delaying the inevitable by trying to argue otherwise. We'll talk in a couple of years when you change the record back to the old tune you were harping about Grabovski lately.
