If Condra is looking for term and anything over a million and the Sens sign Clarkson... he's gone.  It's not even a question who the better player is.

I'd give him 1.2-1.5 X 3 personally.  These are hugely important players on your team - and signing Clarkson shouldn't affect that IMO.

It might affect Greening though - who I'd also like to sign personally.

Harder to get tough, big guys than to get smaller defensive forwards.

I don't see why one would have to affect the other.

No offense at all, while Z.Smith can pot some goals.  Big difference IMO between the two.  That said, Condra's a better overall player.

Because you can only dress 12 guys up front.
