What Campbell was saying was "I hope you enjoyed that one good season you had Tom, because you'll be out of the NHL in two years while I'm making 7.1 a season."

Nah, Vanek did it that year

If ever there was a guy who piggy backed off offensive dynamos letting him play on the PP it's Preissing.

If Nonis can't get Franson and Kadri under contract and under the cap, then I guess we'd have to say that his mistake was in one of 3 possible culprits:

1. His UFA signings.

2. Trading for Bolland.

3. Trading for Bernier.

Personally, I feel he had to sign the players he did. If not Bozak, it would have been somebody else for even more money. Clarkson was a necessary move to make us better in an area we desperately needed: power wingers with some jam.

The Bolland move was decent, especially when you consider we were able to shed Grabo's salary anyway. We get a better option at 3C for over 2 million less.

I guess that leaves us with Bernier. We took on 2.4 million dollars for this upcoming season to address a non-issue. He had better play like the goalie we thought we were getting, or this might be seen as the move that broke us.

I would say he blew it by paying Clarkson 5.25.this guy has scored 30 goals once and hasn't scored 20 in any other season.with such a young team nonis could've signed Brendan morrow(still unsigned)who is same type of player and has a ring,has great leadership for about 2 mill less and then no problem at all.everyone would be signed and under cap.if they let cody franson get away for nothing nonis is a tool.he lead the defenseman in scoring.plus kadri should be happy to take the bridge deal.it puts him in a better position to bargain when and if he puts up points like he just did for a full season.i can't stand all these players and agents who are trying to cash in long term with one season of production.in kadri's case half a season.

Where is he now?

I see that, his stats are so franked up. He had 2 decent seasons, and it all fell apart.

Getting to play on the PP with Joe Thornton in his Art Ross/Hart year, Cheechoo in his Rocket year and Marleau having one of his best ever.

Then Playing on the Sens when they had the Heatley-Spezza-Alfie superstar line.

Too bad he couldn't defend or skate to save his life

Just maybe we give Clarkson a few games as a Leaf before saying Nonis blew it.

Geez, he hasn't even had a practice yet.
