I can agree about Forsling but Benning had to decide how many midgets he would have on the blueline. He did sign Stecher after dumping Forsling. I'll take the midget who can skate over the "giant" that can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Building Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Nobody owned anybody here if Duclair doesn't learn to play defence and outgrow his crap play over the last few years. He's definitely going to a team that can help him do that, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, they just waived Franson who atleast has been a career NHL player not an AHL guy whos jumped all over the league and shown nothing at the NHL level Franson clearly isn't an NHL D-man at this stage. Chicago would know Clendening better than anyone, which is why they acquired him. They obviously still see something in him. I bet he gets an opportunity there.

That doesn't tell the whole story. That's like saying Stecher has been our most consistent D-man. It's easy when everyone else is playing like crap or injured. They're D has actually been the only consistent part which is why they had no need for Franson. It's their offense that's been a train wreck, including a absolutely dreadful PP and almost no production from Toews' line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess he was simply added to balance out contracts. Arizona is at 49 contracts. If they didn't send Clendening over they would be at 50 which limits their flexibility for College UFA signings or TDL deals. Also he might not even join Chicago but rather report to the AHL.

Yeah I think Clendening is just a "throw-in" in the deal. Maybe the Hawks have a need for his services on their farm club (I don't follow the club - so I don't know).

I don't think offense is their problem. They've scored 28 goals in their last 6 games and sit 7th overall in goals for. If their offense is a train wreck I think the Canucks need to have their offense be a train wreck too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no different than when the Hawks acquired Jeremy Morin on three seperate occasions.....Clendening is just a piece that will probably be added to another trade down the road.

They could have acquired anyone as a throw in though. I think they still see value in Clendenning. Plus their goals against has not been the best lately. They've allowed around 3.5 goals against their last 9 games and have had very inconsistent defensive efforts. My guess is he gets a look on their bottom pair.

He served is purpose (being a key member of those multiple Cup wins); much like Brown with the Kings. Both got a "retirement type" contract after those teams won their Cups I *think*.

Of course, but the point is you don't make a move like that unless it's to send a message to the D-core. Saying that their D has been consistent just isn't true.

rekker Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Ugh. Ghosts of that Forsling trade still haunting the Nucks. I love most of what JB has done. That trade was a major, major goof. Clendening was a plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hawks may be 10th in offense, but they're also 7th in GA, so their defense can't be all that bad. The Hawks 2nd and 3rd lines, up until 6 games ago, were out producing the 1st line. After 34 games, Toews had 21 points and Saad had even less. Panic was sent to the 4th line. They were getting no points from their 1st line, that was the main issue with the Hawks thus far.
