would not be surprised if he gets traded back to the leafs at somepoint. Maybe thats how Dubas planned to avoid moving the 2nd back to LA

Apparently Dubas offered 3 years at over a million so idk why Clifford took this unless he just didn’t like Toronto

Apparently the Leafs offered more than $1M on a 3 year term. So either Clifford thinks the chance to win in St. Louis is substantially better, or he over estimated his ability to get a bigger contract and ended up losing out on the offer after Simmonds was signed.

Either way seems like good value for the blues.

I wasn't that impressed with Clifford during the play-in, and I'm glad we're keeping the 2nd over re-signing him.

Clifford is a very good fit in St. Louis physical game. Every team should have at least one player like him in their roster. Specially in playoffs.

That sounds like a serious tampering

I'm glad we didn't resign him. He isn't worth turning a third into a second. Plenty have his skill set this time of year

Good value but I don't get it from St Louis perspective unless trades are coming. I guess he's better than de la Rose but I feel like this gives them about 15-16 NHL forwards

Him, Spezza, and Engvall arguably had the best line in terms of forechecking.

Clifford kept saying he wanted to sign in Toronto and then he took less to sign with the Blues?

I thought conditions are terminated once Player gets off the Team to hit FA, but maybe im wrong....

Not really, Tampering would be if he gets immediately traded. Even then NHL wont do anything as there would be little proof. In general for the 2022 season Dubas can go to St louis and trade for clifford saving him a 2nd and getting him on a 1mill cap hit.

Pretty Sure De La Rose is out Steen is apparently injured and it’s not getting any better so it’s believed he might be retiring. Rumors are Barbashev and Bozak might be out of the lineup to do it’s some big changes.

See I'm not up on St Louis rumours so that explains things. Thanks.

Guys “rumored” to be out Dunn (doubtful), Bozak, Steen, De La Rose, Blais, Sanford, Barbashev.

I would have been totally okay offering something from Leafs to Clifford.

But I was only prepared to do this now, not before.

Depending on our cap I'd be interested in Barbashev from the Leafs perspective. Think he can handle 3c?

definitely. If Bozak wasn't on the third line. Barby probably takes it. I personally want to trade Bozak, and move Barby up the lineup.

One year in TOR was all he could take. Looked around at that defense and said "this ain't never gonna work" tears of joy
