GDT: Out of Town NHL Thread Part V

[Blitzkrug]

I thought Jarmo knew what he was doing over there...

What a horrible trade by the Jackets. Good on the Leafs for finding a sucker, but man...

How is the Toronto zoo ?

[Terrier]

Whatever happened, we need the Hawks tonight. All together now, here come the Hawks...

 

[Over the volcano]

clarkson for horton lolololololololol

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

 

[EverettMike]

I thought Horton's cap number was a lot higher than 5.3.

What the **** is Columbus doing? What the **** are they thinking?

That's an all-time "Get-Out-of-Jail-Free" card for Toronto.

 

[Rumpy]

I'm thinking they know Horton is done and much like the Bruins with Savard will LTIR him for the next 5 years and have flexibility. Only reason this trade makes any sense for either team...

 

[Paddington]

How is the Toronto zoo ?

Fantastic....but I love the zoo.

Maybe I'll run into Nasty Nate this summer.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I don't get it. I understand Columbus had him uninsured but why in the hell would you ship him to Toronto? You could probably give somebody a pick and Horton to stick on LTIR and they would have done it for them. Probably get something better than Clarkson back too.

Awful.

 

[Rumpy]

Any chance the Horton Clarkson deal is vetoed by the league??

 

[Blitzkrug]

I doubt it. If it hit the media odds are the deal has already been put through a trade call.

I don't think that's right.

The Blue Jackets will be covered by insurance for most of Horton’s salary — $6 million this season — once he misses the club’s 21st game of the season, on Nov. 25. Future seasons would work the same.

Indefensible by Columbus.

I dont see why.

Its, to me, no different than us trading Thomas to the Isles so they could reach the Cap floor.

 

[Fenway]

It comes down to this

TSN’s Bob McKenzie reports that it ultimately comes down to pure dollars: the Leafs can afford to pay Horton to not play (thus saving cap space with him on LTIR), while Columbus needs that money to go to someone who’s on the ice.

But there is a rule agains us trading Savard or Philly trading Pronger is there?!?

As others said I guess it wouldn't have out unless the NHL approved it.

I honestly dont know about that rule.

That's even worse then.

CORRECTION:

Bob McKenzie says Horton's contract is not insured. Big market move by the biggest market team.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Great deal for the Leafs, Clarkson was a complete bust for them, getting to move that contract, wow, as for the Jackets they better hope that Clarkson returns to his NJ form, huge risk in that happening.

Brad has info of this.
Teams have a limited amount of contracts they can insure. Hortons was not one Col chose to insure.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Which is an even stupider point because everyone and their grandma knows Horton is made of glass.

Horton's contract has been covertly the worst in the NHL under those conditions then.

 

[EverettMike]

Columbus went to Toronto with that offer.

I bet they could have received a draft pick from Toronto if they pushed for it. Horrible horrible horrible by them.

 

[22Brad Park]

Kane down his replacement scores right away haha Go Hawks

 

[TMac21]

Hawks basically with a home game.

 

[Budddy]

CBJ need their heads examined...unbelievable

 

[Flannelman]

holy crap. didn't expect that!
