I am referencing the fact that he was traded for Gustav Forsling in the first place. I'm not overly upset about losing Forsling. He wasn't really a blue chip prospect. The players he got in Pedan, and Tryamkin are more intriguing than Forsling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, don't leave out Frankie! Forsling, Clendenning, and Corrado. That's a defense to be feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning a 5th round D unlikely to make the NHL in to Clendening and turning that and a slow Bonino in to Sutter seemed to work out pretty well...

How is he unlikely to make the NHL? he was Captain of Sweden's U20 Squad. His skating is excellent, his offensive instincts are such that he can effectively QB a PP. Sounds like a lot of what the Canucks need. Now in 3-4 years when he makes the jump those needs may not be the same. And I said he did correct that mistake by trading him for Sutter.... so wtf are you arguing about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladeen Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Just because he was a 5th rounder doesn't mean he hasn't elevated his status in that time. If the draft happened today there is no way he would fall to the 5th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, unlikely to make the NHL may be a bit harsh... But he's likely still 5+ years away from being a marginal/fringe NHL'er and we already have an undersized OFD in Subban who is quite arguably better and ahead of Forsling in his development. Forsling was redundant in our pool. There was no 'mistake'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I think it's important to recognize the team situations he just passed through this year. Pittsburgh has Ehrhoff, Maatta, Letang and Pouliot. Anaheim has Vatanen, Fowler, Lindholm and Theodore. All of those players overlap with Clendening's style so it's not surprising that he wasn't able to push himself in front of their organizational chart in a short time span. We don't have that same redundancy. We have Hutton, Weber and Subban What I'm saying is...Yes...it would make some sense for us to claim him back. Just because he wasn't useful to them doesn't mean he wouldn't have use to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps... but you talk as if JB can do no wrong... he made a mistake (initially IMO) and fixed it (With the Pittsburg Trade IMO)... that works just fine too. And if he picks up Clendening I guess he really won the trade overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
