Thread: (STL/TOR) - Clifford for future considerations
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Absolutely. If it was any other team, there would be no debate about who wins this trade.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Clifford in the minors doesn't affect the Leafs cap at all. It just cost the Leafs ownership money. Maybe the Marlies are weak at forward was the reason for the acquisition, really nothing to do with the Leafs/</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>faulkmydzingel</b></div><div>Lol. It’s just another gotta hate it because it’s Toronto trade. Literally nothing else. Clifford costs nothing to the leafs. And takes a spot away from a Marlie? Dear god. What if he takes Marc Michaelis outta the lineup.</div></div>

Umm...my point Stl, wins for do the classy thing and sending Clifford back home, rather than to their Ahl team.

And Stl. wins for saving $1.3 million (probably $1 million left now) in real cash.

And Leafs had Gabriel already to extra goon and Mrazek, so Dubas looks bad for bringing in a replacement goon over his big off season signing and I'm sure Petr isn't too happy to see Clifford, if he even remembers him after the concussion he received thanks to Clifford.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>He cleared waivers. He wasn't taking up a roster spot.

And I don't get why having him push out young players in the ahl is a bigger concern than nhl depth. Nhl depth is far more important than worrying about 4th line ahlers.

So I don't really get how this can be viewed as a St. Louis win. It just can't, because one team gets a 4th line/ahl guy (with a buryable cap hit) and the other gets nothing.</div></div>

It's a win for the Blue ownership and management.

You don't waste $1 million of cap space for a part time Nhler and you really don't want to pay $1.3 million in real cash for an Ahler, since he has a 1way contract.

And unlike you believe, Clifford not taking up a young player spot is important.

$1 million cap space is useful to have, come TDL.

Clifford is an Ontario boy for the Blues did the classy thing and sent him home, even if it is to play for the Marlies.

The Leafs win in what way ? 4th line toughness ? Gabriel was suppose to be that extra tough guy, 1/2 a million $ cheaper.

Dubas loses, other than looking slightly better getting Clifford back who he traded for.
