Confirmed with Link: RD Adam Clendening - 1 yr, 650k

Rangers fans on Twitter are having a fit.

Most felt Clendening got held back by Vigneault who "loves his veterans too much"

I don't know that a 650k deal with a guy who has 81g of NHL experience impacts a potential trade for a established vet making 4+ million/yr.

Unless Clendening got a two way deal, Demers would be 8D on one ways.

 

[_Del_]

I actually like the signing, and he can probably be a regular if needed, but I don't know that he's an upgrade on Murphy.
I'd certainly rather they play him as a regular than KConn who I'm over as anything other than a #7.

Has more to do with Girardi than with Clendening. And I disagree. Lots of disrespect for an old soldier just because of his contract. Clendening isn't bad but by no means a sensation...

Unless KConn goes for Demers. Or Schenn.

I like both. KConn is loved in the room and an ideal #7. Schenn is needed for the physicality.

Not advocating. Just saying. Clendening isn't the type that rules out the acquisition of a guy like Demers. Murphy went for Hjalmarsson. It happens.

I see it like:

5v5:
OEL-Hammer
Goose-Schenn
Chych-Clendening

PP1:
OEL-Goose

PP2:
Chych-Clendening

I like it.

Wow. Postma goes to BOS for 725k. Very interesting.

Can someone explain these things. Other than the obvious that the numbers are good, I've no idea what these numbers represent, particularly when comparing with others like Daley.

 

[Summer Rose]

Well done, Chayka. Very, very well done. Good thing he's not s steak.

 

[SniperHF]

Can't complain for 650k.

 

[Jakey53]

He should be an overall upgrade on Murphy. Hjalmarsson should be an overall upgrade over DeAngelo. If OEL bounces back and Chychrun doesn't regress, it's hard to imagine this year's D corps being worse than last year's, even without additional movement.

I'm not a Murphy fan, be he the sure hell is better than Clendening.

The PP as a whole was broken last year, but this didn't seem to work.

If Strome makes the NHL this year, having him play on the half boards where he'll have the time and space to make plays could be pretty lethal.

I hope. In the end, there was nothing exciting about the Yotes drawing a P.

....there was nothing exciting about the Yotes drawing a P.

The shorties we kept coughing up all year long kept me pretty excited, but not in a good way.

GAR measures a player's impact in every phase of the game and then stacks them like blocks on a chart. If a player has a negative impact in a phase, their number is red and to the left. That's bad. If they have a positive impact, it's to the right and blue. The larger the impact - good or bad - the larger the bar section.

Clendening has no bad, but his sample size is small. The other names around him represent players that have roughly the same impact on the game.

Here is Shattenkirk's by comparison:

Even if they have to cut this guy or KCon if they bring in someone else or someone like Wood makes the team, it's not like they'd have to eat a huge contract. I know we are a budget team but these contracts shouldn't keep us from doing anything to improve the talent on the club.

 

[Englishcoyote]

650k is a good deal even if he only plays 40ish games its a good cap hit, wonder what duclair will be offered thinking a 1 yr deal at 1.0million

 

[Jakey53]

I agree. Both on the cheap as well.

These guys are cheap and gives our D a bit of security in case of injuries.
