Is there a neither option?

joey anderson

Knies

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Neither of them have any business being on the roster of a team that's trying to win games

 

[Mitch nylander]

Neither,

But I'd say Simmonds is the superior player.

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Kerfoot- Tavares - Nylander
Mikheyev - Kampf - Kase
Blackwell - Spezza - Engvall

Rielly - Lyubushkin
Giordano - Brodie
Muzzin - Liljegren

Campbell

I think we’re at the point that we have 12 better forwards when healthy that neither should be dressing.

 

[Captain14]

Superior and Simmonds just don’t belong in the same sentence lol

Simmonds. Just because I've seen actual aggression out of him. Clifford is very passive it seems. I don't know why, cuz he's a good skater and not horrible defensively....if he just brought a nasty game most nights he'd be a lock I'd think, and I'd vote him over Simmonds. But if crap hits the fan in a game, I think I'd rather have Simmonds there than Clifford. Seems to be more about "sticking up for the boys" than Clifford is

They should be something like our 14th and 15th forwards at this point. Both are warriors but just don't have the legs anymore for their role. When they dont have the speed to get in on the fore check and crash and bang, neither of them provide much value at all

 

[Knies iT]

Neither are NHL players on a contender anymore. Maybe not any team.

I threw up in my mouth reading the subject line of this thread.

Curdled milk or rotted meat?

Rather go 7D than play either one. I guess we need a token tough guy. I trust Simmonds to be smarter about physical play, so I guess him.

 

[Buds17]

Clifford has the advantage in playoff experience (and obviously also the Cups), but I'd say that Simmonds is the better player at this point.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Clifford played in double OT with the Stanley Cup on the line; actually assisted on the Cup winning goal so he does have experience.

Though according to my calculations you guys should just ice me. I'll kick em in the nuts.

 

[Magic Man]

At full health neither plays. Down a man, I'll take Simmonds. It would be nice if he scored a couple before playoffs.
