Troy Bodie was given the same opportunity and made the most of it. That's how a reward system works!
Bodie is also 29 years old and had over 100 games of NHL experience. It also helped that he had to clear waivers and had a cap hit that was at least $250,000 less than any of the Marlie youngsters. Plus Tim Leiweke.
As well as Bodie played last year, he was given more of a chance because of Tim, his cap hit and other factors. Let's not forget that he was down right awful some games and any of the Marlies youngsters, given ample opportunity, would probably have fit in just as well. They all would have been better than Clarkson, that's for sure.
