    Wow, what's Columbus thinking here? Toronto got a good deal.

      Re: Columbus acquires Clarkson

      It makes sense to me

      Columbus sees it this way: You can pay Horton $5.3M a year to not play a game for you, or pay Clarkson $5.25M a year to play for you although the contract is too expensive. Remember, they don't have unlimited MONEY (not salary cap) like Toronto has.

      Toronto sees it this way: They basically get out of the Clarkson contract. Horton won't count against the cap, but they'll still have to pay him money which they can easily do. They can spend the cap hit somewhere else.

        Oh god, I completely forgot Horton was injured, let alone that his career may be completely over.

          Yeah. I guess the deal just comes down to Toronto having a pretty much unlimited payroll, so they can make trades like this

            But this is a great, great trade for Toronto. They have the worst contract in the league, and they basically end up sending him off for nothing.

              Man I feel for Horton. So glad he won a cup in 2011 before his health started unravelling.
