i wish Claesson becomes good enough to player for us. He's got a cool personality from the small glimpses I've seen of him.
He likely isnt better then Boro. Boro was an AHL all star at the same age. That was the year bingo finished last in the East too.
Boro had 22 when bingo sucked Claessan had 19 when bingo sucked
85K to play in the AHL, nice. He is better than Phillips, Gryba and Boro. Not just saying that cuz hes a swede.
Claesson will be an NHLer. Almost guaranteed. He is so smart and active with his stick.
Thinking there will be a defenseman gone before training camp
Yep clearing a body or two would help ,as for Wideman they could juice his AHL salary ,to corey locke type numbers .I hope so. Haven't heard about it in a while but towards the end of the season I believe Murray said he was going to trade a defensemen and we wouldn't start the season with 8 guys again. Claesson is a perfect guy to fill in if an injury occurs and Philips can also do that.
Probably one of Wiercioch or Cowen but I suspect it might be Cowen. Not sure what's going to happen with Wideman though. Murray wanted to give him a chance and also he played great last season so I doubt Murray would just let him go without offering him something interesting.
Man, if Boro could play a good right side, a Claesson - Boro bottom pairing could be pretty good.
Judging from his interviews Claesson has a great personality and is good leader. He could be Bingo's next captain.
Funny how people think his offensive upside is non-existing. In 2013/14 he actually led all AHL defencemen in ES/SH points while playing zero PP minutes.
I agree. But I seriously doubt its with the sens..
Great news.
I've seen his ceiling as Willie Mitchell for some time now. Anybody else?
Scoring in the AHL and scoring in the NHL are two very different beasts
It isn't just "how much did he score in the AHL?" but also "on what skillset does he rely to get the points?"
It's why I remain skeptical about Lazar's offensive ceiling in the NHL: none of the goals he scored in Junior lead me to believe he'll have similar success in the NHL because in the NHL goalies are much better and there's a lot less time and space which are things he relied on to produce.
Of course players adapt and some learn new tricks so this isn't something set in stone. Still, producing a lot in the AHL is better than not, I'll give you that
