I dont get the hype over Clarkson. Hes never had 50+ points in one season and is 29 (in fact hes had one season of more than 32 pts). Plus he was significantly worse when not playing with Elias. Sort of the same deal with Bozak. Bozak might be the worst player defensively and Kessel played statistically better when paired with Grabovski anyways. Theyre trying to get a "Carlyle-type" team which is dumb because they were seriously lucky to make playoffs last year as it is. They got rid of two of their top possession players while bringing back their worst. Welcome back to the basement.
In terms of edmonton i dont think they did anything particularily good so far. Getting rid of Horcoff was stupid unless they spent his salary on something useful (they didnt) otherwise its just another roster spot to fill on a team full of holes already. Ference is a bottom 6 d which is what the oilers already have plenty of so i cant see how this helps theyre shitty d as it is. Gordon fills horcoffs spot but hes not as good. So ya theyre pretty much where they were at the end of the season which is not nearly good enough. And apparently they offered Clarkson MORE MONEY than TO. Fuck sakes MacT. Obviously theyres still time but if they get rid of hemsky for nothing like horc than seriously fuck the oilers.

Iginla doesn't backcheck, his leadership is overrated, and he always starts slow. Enjoy him, Pearljammer... |
haha, well the Bruins don't lack leadership so that's no problem. Not backchecking makes me think maybe they'll put him with Bergeron to balance it out, although my first thought was he'll be a top liner. And starting slow is no problem, the B's tend to have a lot of streaky players that always seem to turn it on down the stretch (like Horton who he may be replacing).
Either way I'm very excited to see what this team looks like in the fall. They've made some significant changes considering they were two wins from the Cup.
