My gut tells me he really does like Jersey. He knows how lucky he is to be playing in the NHL and that Lou is the one that gave him the chance to do that. Deboer is the coach that made Clarkson what he is in the first place, and is the reason he even kept playing hockey. He's doing a TON of charity work in the area, is part of the Hockey in Newark program and has Clarky's Kids in the area also.
All those things leads me to believe he'll take a slight discount to stay in Jersey if Lou wants him to. I'm going to go a bit higher then SMantzas and say he signs for 4.5 mill per or if Lou thinks he can hold up to a longer contract 4 mill per.
4/18 or maybe 6/24.
I can see him getting 5 mill...that's why I said with the discount maybe he'd stay in Jersey for 4.5
For what it's worth, unless something has changed very recently, Clarky's Kids is based in Kitchener, Ontario and is run through the Kitchener Rangers. Doesn't mean he doesn't do anything in the NJ area but I don't think his personal charity is going to make or break whether he remains a Devil.
thanks for sharing pics. I definitely have the 2nd and 3rd cup you showed. I don't have the 2010/2011 cup, and the first cup I'm not sure what that is. is that just a logo cup or there something on the other side?
For what it's worth, Brodeur's padding (both legs and upper body) has gotten noticeably larger the past 2+ seasons. It's still not the size of most guys but the gap has closed considerably.
