Adam Clendening

[BoHorvat 53]

Acquired in a trade for Gustav Forsling.

Discuss.

 

[WTG]

Any news if he will play tomorrow?

Bob McKenzie said he wouldn't be surprised to see him recalled and have him play tomorrow. Take it for what it's worth.

 

[Canucks LB]

59 points in the AHL last year

59...Damn

 

[BoHorvat 53]

59 points in 74 games played in the AHL last year really gets me excited. I don't think Forsling would be able to put up those kind of numbers in the second third/forth best league in the world.

 

[opendoor]

Offense is elite at the AHL level. Was 2nd in the AHL in scoring by a defenseman last year and was 7th leaguewide in U24 scoring including forwards.

But it makes you wonder why Chicago didn't make room for him or even give him more than 4 games. Hope he's not another Gragnani.

They have loads of depth and players that they felt were probably more suitable to their roles. Runblad's finally starting to put it together. It's also about waive eligibility. This trade is almost identical of the 2nd rounder for Vey.

I don't mind having him on our powerplay

Pretty much. We're talking about a team that had to give up Nick Leddy because of their logjam at defense.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

So then we got this guy. He any good?

 

[Canucks LB]

The only thing I hate about this trade is his name. Clendening is a terrible hockey name.

 

[CRDragon]

At this point in time, this is a very good trade for us. Forsling still has a lot of development to do, and we are sorely lacking an offensive force in the back during PP.

Forsling will be missed, but not for long.

 

[GetFocht]

This looks like a very astute trade on paper, could be Benning's new Krug. He also seems to have excellent PPQB skills.

 

[Ziostilon]

He was one of the many leaders in the Shots on Goal category last year in the AHL

you know if he loads up, it's probably getting on goal

 

[684]

Looks like his defensive game is an issue.. Obviously didn't get a longer shot with the big club because of CHI's depth at the RD spot.

Hope he figures the defensive side of his game out. I remember Gragnani.

Any word on his play this season thus far? Why does he only have 13pts in 38gp?

 

[PG Canuck]

With the Canucks PP being so terrible lately, have to think this is a trade Benning made to try and fix it. Clendening is a good PPQB. This year in Rockford though, TJ Brennan was acquired and given the PPQB duties, therefore, probably why Clendening's numbers are down so low.

Hm, that sure makes sense. Thanks.

Gragnani was older when we acquired him though. Clendening still has time to improve.

Except this time we gave up what was our 5th rounder in that draft, much better trade here

Yeah, I guess it's just reactionary given that we swapped and 18 y/o for a 22 y/o who seem to be the same type of player.

 

[ginner classic]

It's a perfect AHL name though.

 

[The Stig]

Kid can move the puck and knows the PP. This is good.

 

[WTG]

Fantastic trade by Bennenning

Sold high on Forsling.

Although Forsling is just a way cooler name than Clendenning

 

[TL12]

Once he scores a goal we'll call him Clen-ding-ding

 

[canuck4life16]

so basically the player we need since christian ehrhoff left
