Holy ****, on paper it looks like we robbed them.

 

[canucksfan]

Is Clendering any good? Seems to put up points

 

[LiquidSnake]

Promising young swede dman? Trade him!!!! Lol

 

[Pip]

lol what

 

[shortshorts]

I think we see Clendening up sooner rather than later based on our depth on D...

No idea what kind of player he is though.

 

[nekyvGkOPaiWICTscLl6]

Not sure what to think of this.

Adam Clendening

2014-15 Rockford IceHogs AHL 38 1 12 13 20 -4

 

[tc 23]

wat.

 

[canuck4life16]

make no sense to trade a young potential good dmen for depth d-men.......

 

[hattrick3518]

Hrm, why?

 

[Orca Smash]

Im not sure what to think either, liked frosling, i liked what little I have seen of clendening as well.

 

[canuck4life16]

we still overload of Defenseman so unless we get rid of Sibsa weber or Straton?

 

[PG Canuck]

Clendening is 6'0" 190lbs according to Hawks website. He's 22 years old. Shoots right.

For a young, right handed pmd who can play now.

 

[Uhmkay]

He's actually a pretty good prospect. Very good puck moving dman and on the Right side to boot. He's also pretty solid in his own end.

I liked Forsling, but I actually think we win this trade. Forsling isn't nearly as good defensively, as good as a puck mover and in my opinion was a longershot at actually making the NHL as a solid dman.

 

[IntangiBo]

None of those 3 screams "overload".

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I'm confused by this deal. At best you could say Clendening is further along in his development?

 

[LiquidSnake]

In the AHL.

 

[el_capitan]

This guy is 22, can play the North American game and has put up an amazing amount of points (for a defenceman) in the AHL.

BUT FORSLING WAS COMPLIMENTED BY BOB MCKENZIE!!!

Never change HF.

 

[BassMason]

Had 59 pts in 74 gp last year. He's 22. Seems good to me.

 

[Spectrefire]

Makes perfect sense actually. Clendening is basically just a bigger version of Forsling that's more ahead in his development. He was a high scorer in both the NCAA and AHL.

Forsling, as nice of a prospect he is, is still a longshot to make the NHL and was a project. Plus, with McNally and Subban in the system, he's really redundant.

 

[Pip]

Good year in the AHL least season. Not as good this year (statswise).

I assume we'll see him up with the team fairly soon. Wonder if this is the end of Frankie's stay up here or if we plan to move/waive a defenseman.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Benning is appearing to be stocking up on depth players.

Pedan and now Glending
