I don't get how people are unhappy with this, be grateful the first time we retained actual talent since a long time.
We resigned a hard working player with talent at both ends of the ice for fair value. On the open market he could potentially get a much bigger pay day next year.
Good player
Fair salary cap
Reasonable term
This is the epitome of a "sweet spot" deal. It isn't a "steal" and it isn't an "overpayment", it is just "perfect".

I'd never considered MacArthur for captain. Makes more sense to me than Phillips or Karlsson.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.
Ottawa has a captain that leads by example, and gets chastised for not having a more vocal captain. Ottawa names a vocal guy captain, and gets chastised for not having a captain that leads by example at both ends of the ice.
Yay Ottawa
One of Turris or MacArthur should get a letter for sure. Doubt they both do.
Having Neil wear one is a joke. Spezza is gone and Phillips should be. We should have three new candidates from the pool of the "new" core. MacArthur is one who should be considered.
If Ryan signs, he may get a letter as well. Won't have all three on the same line for sure.

I wouldn't say a "joke"... I mean, Neil has been a great community guy and teammate here for over a decade, so I understand the "reward" part of it... but he should not have a letter under any circumstance whatsoever. He has too much of a reputation with the refs, you can't have a guy like him who is a notorious victim of "reputation calls" against him be the guy who is the official voice for the team with the refs.
Tactical error on our part giving him an "A".

I understand that HFers have really strong opinions about what they feel as hockey fans. But I'm going to put you in a context just to open your horizon a little bit
Imagine if you walk into the Sens room after a game or before, or even at a practice (doesn't matter) and you throw away that statement when you have the attention of everybody, even the coaching staff. Just imagine it. I don't think Neil would try to fight you but I wonder what would be the reaction outside of hysterical laughs... Conclusion : we have no idea of what goes inside that room
I understand that Neil is on the downside of his career and might be out of the league in not so long, but IMO we are not qualified at all to have anything more than an "outsider random opinion" on it.

Mostly off-topic, but does anybody know how to find out if you are related to someone?
There seems be some circumstantial evidence that I am in some way or another related to Clarke.
I know about ancestry.com, but while finding this out would be cool, I'm not gonna pay 40+ dollars to find out haha.

doesnt it have a free trial or something?
otherwise a quick google search came up with this being the best free alternative https://familysearch.org/
The only other options i can think of is building out the family tree yourself by calling/asking family lol

That'd be really cool (and then you could update us on Ryan
), the 40$ would be worth it IMO. I dunno, just don't drink beer for 1 week or skip a restaurant and you won't even see the difference in your wallet.
If ancestral relations are your thing, if any of your ancestors lived in Europe, especially western Europe, then it's almost certain that Charlemagne is one of your ancestors!

It does have a free trial, but only for the domestic American database. I need the Canadian records, hence the $40. Thank you for the link though, I'll check it out.
Don't drink beer for a week? Not worth it
My Mother's maiden name is MacArthur, which actually means son of Arthur. My descendents are from Scotland...put those together and.. King Arthur
Anyways, I looked up Lloydminster AB where Clarke is from, and I realized that was ~5 hours drive away from the Moosejaw / Regina area where both my Grandfather and Mother are from. That, coupled with the same last name + the relatively small population of the Canadian praries made me think there could be a connection somewhere.
Also, I found a picture of my Grandpa when he was in his 20's, and he looks eerily similar to Clarke. Kinda funny actually.

My grandfather emigrated from Scotland to Canada in the early 1900s.

I believe it allows him to identify 10 teams he can't be traded to. At least that is what I read in one of the mainstream media stories.
