yeppp... i'll eat some crow. i was completely wrong. Macky has been awesome, he brings 110% every night.

 

[God Says No]

I'm not real happy with this signing. Not a real scoring machine, not physical, not a defensive specialist just everything 'Meh'.

I'll make a prediction that this guy won't be with the team for the full 2 years. Either gone next off-season or at the trade line in a year and a half.

Yip, I was way off as well. That's why I don't work for any NHL team.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Happy to say I was very happy with this signing and still am

 

[UnHappyDude]

Haters Gonna Hate, but he is a pretty decent player. People are just so negative about he Alfredsson thing

OH YEAH BABY!!!. Who is the prediction king!!! Haters gonna hate. MacArthur is a decent player!

 

[Magix]

Good for 15-20 goals, good signing for a second liner. Still need a first line winger though.

A little off on the goal totals but this was a pretty solid signing, although was surprised some were hating on him.

 

[Knave]

50+ points and going beyond just the numbers - I like the way he plays. Good signing.

 

[Countdown0]

So much hate at the start of this thread, and so much love for Mac now.

Good job Clarke. Silence the nay-sayers.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

He's kind of walking into a volatile situation right now. Everyone's too pissed to celebrate getting a former Leaf.

That said, I like the signing.

No crow for me, ha-ha!

 

[Emerica]

What about this prediction?




Gosh, I had a lot of fun in this thread

congrats buddy

 

[Slack]

I wasn't mad but Mac definitely exceeded my expectations big time.

This makes sense as a replacement for Latendresse, but if we do nothing else today we are in serious trouble.

At the end of the day this ends up looking like a decent signing. But man, at the start of the day it looked kinda sad. No, he isn't an Alfredsson replacement, but in terms of pure points he'll probably be good for about the same as our 41yr old former captain.

 

[Caje]

Good signing, stop whining.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

so this is the pat yourself on the back thread now? lol

 

[sens2k9]

Underrated player, poorly utilized in Toronto.

Smart, cheap (for a UFA these days) signing.
Competes well enough but more importantly should harbour some ill will towards Toronto for not believing in him.
I like it already

so this is the pat yourself on the back thread now? lol

sure looks like it

I bet no one on the planet was more relieved to hear that Bobby Ryan had signed with Ottawa than Clarke MacArthur after hearing Alfredsson signed with Detroit. That would have been one hell of a burden to bear for a former Leaf to replace Alfie in this town. And as it turns out MacArthur will now play on a 2nd line likely with Turris & hopefully have a productive season & not have to worry about the Alfie comparisons.

 

[God Says No]

Don't see any prediction there on the player. Just where he will play, which was pretty obvious after the Ryan signing.

But I also didn't say that it was a terrible signing. I thought it was a decent signing & he had been a decent player throughout his career & he exceeded my expectations of him.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I thought he would be more of a tweener bouncing around the lines, but he's a legit top 6 forward for sure. I like these trial runs Bmurray likes to do as well. See if a guy fits before you hand him a Clarkson contract and be stuck with expensive dead weight for a long time.

 

[Icelevel]

deserves an A on his jersey

 

[LynxBud]

deserves an A on his jersey

Yep. Been thinking that for a while now. An outspoken leader by example.

 

[Whippet]

deserves an A on his jersey

No doubt about that.

Has he been invited to the World Championship? He should be a lock imo considering his chemistry with Turris.

 

[Sun God Nika]

please dont be a top 6 player....

Darn it Senz!
