Garrioch said last night that the "budget" is going to be increased so unless you believe he's a liar and doesn't have an in with the Sens... the Sens budget is going to increase going into next year.

Melnyk is pretty slimy though but like Ev suggested hopefully he's smart enough to figure out he needs to pretend he's not.
That's exactly what he said during his "Smart Spending Tour", 55M this year, 60M next year. Real dollars not cap hits. Mind you he is closer to 57M this year than 55M so there may be hope.

Yep, done deal. Clarkson is a blue jacket while Horton may not play again.

Brilliant move by Columbus to help Toronto. I guess they didn't want to pay Horton to sit on IR.

Leafs are so lucky it makes me ill. Diddle you Columbus!

Leafs aren't lucky at all. Stupid to pay for a guy who won't even play for you.

Doesn't count against their cap though. And they have tons of money. Clarkson is worthless. He might as we be on the IR.

Drop in the bucket. Only downside is if they run up to the cap again he counts against the offseason cap therefore there could be some future tagging issues. Since they are going full rebuild it shouldn't be an issue.

I hope Clarkson lights it up in Columbus.

It doesn't matter, Leafs always in trades according to people but they forever suck.

The strange thing is that I thoght the top few contracts on each team needed to be insured under some obscure NHL bylaw.

By that rationale then...couldn't they have just kept clarkson? Cap space is cap space, might as well have a player who will play.

I understand the stink of clarkson, but...

Should be a good chance for Clarksie to get his career back on track.

MacKenzie just explained that the BJs were waiting for Horton to return from shoulder surgery before insuring his contract. By the time he returned the degenerative back problem was diagnosed so he was uninsurable. Columbus was cheap and paid dearly for it.

Nice to see the TSN panel drinking Nonis' man gravy for his great moves.

Nice move for both guys. Clarkson wasn't going to be a factor there one way or another, Leafs aren't buying themselves out of anything so.
