Scott Clemmensen may not have been able to help the Maple Leafs into the playoffs last season, but he'll get a chance to help them more directly now.

According to Star sources, the former New Jersey Devils goaltender has signed a two-way contract with the Leafs and is expected to be the club's No. 3 goaltender this season, working with the AHL Toronto Marlies alongside youngster Justin Pogge.

Clemmenson, 29, has backed up Vezina Trophy winning goalie Martin Brodeur for parts of five seasons, playing only six games last season and 13 the year before.

On the final day oflast season, with the Leafs needing New Jersey to beat the New York Islanders to get into the playoffs, the Devils gave Clemmensen the start and he played well enough to push the game to a shootout, which was won by the Islanders.

The Boston College grad, a native of Des Moines, Iowa, will replace Jean-Sebastien Aubin and J.F. Racine on the Leaf goaltending depth chart.
Clemmensen was made expendable in New Jersey when the Devils signed the more experienced Kevin Weekes as an unrestricted free agent this week.

This is actually not a bad move by the Leafs.Clemmenson will back up Pogge in the AHL and perhaps tutor him a bit....and if the Leafs get an injury in net with the big club they won't have to interupt Pogges' season in the minors.Also if the Leafs happen to unload Razor they have a capable back-up in place.

I have a feeling with Weekes in NJ now that Brodeur may only play 65 or so games....which in the long run will help him stay a bit fresher.

Someone in the NY media had the bright idea to try to organize a boycott from Ranger fans of "Air Force One" when it was released that summer, because (either at the time, or still) of the relation between the production company for the movie and the owners of the Avs. By boycotting, there would be much less money for Colorado to have to sign Sakic!

It took like a day for them to match.

Ping CR - we have also signed Maxim Kondriatev to come over from Russia for this season, meaning that we can probably stick a fork in Niedermayer's career. I don't think we sign another defensemen if Brian Burke hasn't conceded that we won't have him for next year.

It also means that Jackman and DiPenta won't be back I'd have imagined, unless Kondratiev is being signed for a year in the AHL.

Yeah, and saw the Kondratiev signing. I thought he was going to be our sixth until we got Hnidy. I think he's likely on a two-way, and will play at the AHL level unless we need him. I have been figuring since the Hnidy signing that both of those guys (Jakman and DiPenta) were dust for sure.

I think Nieds is done, but I don' tthink this means anything. I think Burke is taking Nieds advice and going forward like he's not coming back--but that that's separate from Niedermayer's actual decision which is still forthcoming.

I'm more concerned to figure out what's going on with Teemu right now.

The Wings go Back To The Future...

As per a release from the Wings this morning, the team has agreed to contract terms with forward Dallas Drake on a one-year contract. Additional terms of the deal are not available.

"We're very pleased to have Dallas join the Red Wings," said Holland. "He's a very physical player who will add grit to our lineup and make our team even more difficult to play against. He's a veteran player and you can never have enough experience and leadership on a team."

In 14 NHL seasons, Drake has appeared in 944 NHL games, tallying 174 goals, 297 assists for 471 points and 844 penalty minutes

Pumpy Tudors · 07-09-2007, 12:23 PM

Dallas Drake? They still make that? What's next? A Jyrki Lumme signing?

Maple Leafs · 07-09-2007, 12:59 PM

Back when he was with the Jets, Dallas Drake became a charter member of the "Guys Who Weren't Very Tough Who For Some Reason Decided to Try to Fight Wendel Clark and Almost Died" hall of fame.

His bust will be right next to the David Maley Memorial exhibit.

So the Islanders have named Guerin their new captain. Not a bad choice, but wasn't a move I can say I was anticipating when they got him.

Who cares what the commentators said, the replay shows Fetisov lunging forward, missing Clark, then kicking his legs out to try and trip him. Sure, could've been a big hit but turned into a bush league move instead. Fetisov deserved the lumber and the black eye.

I doubt the two incidents are related, but Scotty Bowman was rumored to have once referred to Dallas Drake as "the dumbest player in the league."

Wow. $9 million a year. Well, I can't really argue with that. He's the best player in the league and will now be paid like it. It makes sense. While it's rare for a non UFA (or potential UFA) to make that kind of money, I don't think there will be too much complaining about it in the sense it throws the salary structure out of whack.

Dr. Sak · 07-10-2007, 08:37 AM

Well the Pens had to do something or the teams would be lining up next year to give Crosby the max offer sheet.

Honolulu_Blue · 07-10-2007, 10:21 AM

Vitaly Vishnevski is a Devil. 3 years, $1.4 million a year deal.

I always liked Vishnevski in concept, but the fact that Nashville made a deal with him and then never really played him does raise questions. Oh well, it's a short deal, not too much many, and the Devils have plenty of cap space and a need, so it makes sense.

It's a good deal. About halfway through the contract, I am sure Crosby at $9 million will be considered one hell of a bargain.

And Malkin and Staal can crash at his place, and leave Gonchar and Recchi alone.

SteelerFan448 · 07-10-2007, 02:15 PM

They had local Penguins beat writer Rob Rossi from the Tribune Review and he was already talking about the Pens trading Malkin 3-4 years down the road, while keeping the likes of Crosby, Whitney, Fleury, and Staal. He compared Crosby, Malkin, and Staal to Mario, Jagr, and Ron Francis, which I feel is a pretty good comparison. Pretty funny though how far down the line he is projecting the Pens moving Malkin.

Travis · 07-10-2007, 02:20 PM

Don't forget Espo in there now too.

So disgusting.

bbor · 07-10-2007, 02:25 PM

Question is in 3 years can they afford to pay Crosby,Staal,Fluery and Espo for the 30 mil it will prolly cost them?

The new arena is happening. They also recently signed Whitney to a 6-year $24 million deal. Considering Crosby set the bar as far as the pay scale goes, the Pens should be able to keep their core, including Fleury, Staal, and Malkin (at least in the near future) in tact. Ray Shero is building from within, which is why you only saw the Pens sign two free agents to short, relatively cheap contracts and not overpay. He is doing this so the Penguins can keep their young stars.

Espo will still be on his entry deal in 3 years...he's not making the roster this season without a HUGE camp.

Whitney, as posted earlier, is signed to a 6 year deal. So he and Sid will both be UFA's in 2013, but they are locked up until then.

And Staal and Fleury have really done nothing to prove they'll command anywhere close to the max amount. Good, maybe very good, players, but certainly not elite.

Karim · 07-10-2007, 07:45 PM

Does this set the bar for Ovechkin? Can he demand as much or more than Crosby? Does he wait for an offer sheet?

I heard an interesting discussion today, asking who in the NHL would you pay to see. The only players "worthy" of that distinction for me are Crosby, Ovechkin, Kovalchuk and Sakic (still). There really isn't anyone else out there that peaks my interest.

Staal will be a 7 mil player by then....Fluery a 5 mil player.

I think Ovechkin is establishing himself as one of the best goal scorers in the league. I think he could make a case for getting numbers near Crosby's.

Staal has two more seasons on his entry deal. IF, and that's a huge IF, he's commanding $7M after that, that should be nowhere near the max.

More likely is he'll get a one year deal in 09-10 if he goes to arbitration, and won't see a big money/long term deal until 10-11, he's fifth year in the league.

Then again....people are paying Chris Drury $7M a year.

Honolulu_Blue · 07-11-2007, 12:32 PM

I found this somewhat amusing. I loved the Transformers cartoon and toys when I was a kid.

hxxp://www.lcshockey.com/content/071107.asp

That there "Transformers" moving picture show is making all sorts of money. I haven't seen it, but I loved myself some Transformers back in the day. And since I tend to think in terms of hockey, I started wondering about the similarities between Transformers and certain NHL players.

Optimus Prime

AUTOBOTS

Optimus Prime: He's the leader of the Autobots and arguably the best Transformer. Sidney Crosby would be the first name that comes to mind, but Sid's kind of young. Optimus Prime is more of a veteran leader. Mario Lemieux would have made the prefect Optimus. Or Steve Yzerman. Ron Francis. Of current NHLers, though, I'd say Joe Sakic is the closest.

Bumblebee: In the cartoons, Bumblebee was always the scrappy little guy trying to prove his worth to the older Autobots. Now that's Crosby. But in winning the Art Ross, Hart, and Lester Pearson last season, Sid may have gone from Bumblebee to Optimus Prime.

Jetfire

Ratchet: Ratchet's an ambulance. No doubt, he's Peter Forsberg.

Jetfire: Aw, he was a bad man. Big, sleek, and powerful, Jetfire was the definition of cool, even if he did rip off Robotech. I'm gonna go with Vincent Lecavalier on this one.

Cliffjumper: A little red buggy, Cliffjumper was always eager to mix it up with the big boys, using his speed and aggression to his advantage. Sounds like Martin St. Louis to me.

Mirage: He's a fancy Formula-1 racecar who can disappear at will. It's like Joe Thornton has a twin.

Mirage

Bluestreak: He never shuts up. He yaps and yaps and yaps. Put Elisha Cuthbert next to him and you couldn't tell the difference between Bluestreak and Sean Avery.

Prowl: A police cruiser, Prowl was the ultimate defender of the law. And if you want someone to enforce justice, look no further than Derek Boogaard.

Dinobots: Chris Chelios, Dominik Hasek, Ed Belfour, and Jeremy Roenick. They could also double for the Golden Girls.

DECEPTICONS

Megatron

Megatron: I think Brian Burke would make the best Megatron. They're both evil geniuses who believe
in brutality.

Starscream: Starscream was Megatron's right-hand man. So who better to support Burke than Chris Pronger?

Soundwave: The Decepticons' communications expert, Soundwave
transforms into a boombox and is hated even amongst his fellow comrades for his eavesdropping and manipulative ways. Basically, he's a robotic Mike Keenan.

Rumble: One of the little cassette's that popped out of Soundwave's chest, Rumble talked big and liked to fight at the drop of a hat. Matthew Barnaby would be proud.

Starscream

Laserbeak: Another of Soundwave's cassettes, Laserbeak was a robotic vulture who never entered the battle until the opponent was already wounded and close to defeat, making him the Kirk Maltby of Decepticons.

Devastator: All the Constructicons banded together to form the behemoth Devastator, making them almost as tall as Zdeno Chara.
Shockwave: He was a big purple ray gun that lit up. No one gets lit up like Jose Theodore.

The rivalries will be heated and fierce! __________________ *Steve Yzerman: 1,755 points in 1,514 regular season games. 185 points in 196 postseason games.
