Player Discussion Adam Clendening

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

He couldn't crack Chicago

Someone mentioned Greeley connection, thats a very good point. He played at BU, Greeley knows him intimately.

Those are both great points.

Good that Adam Clendening got signed by NYR. Got talent and shoots right but consistency has been problem

He has shown flashes, needs to get back to his game

 

[nyr2k2]

Oh..and 4th team in 2 years? WOW

Three of those four teams are good organizations, so while they did move him, they saw something in him to begin with.

Edmonton is a dumpster fire. Being let go by them is neither good nor bad since that organization is completely clueless.

 

[Beacon]

This confirms that we signed nobody today. Otherwise he'd leak it.

 

[Tawnos]

Well someone brought up Anton Stralman. Just making sure everyone's expectations are realistic.

Stralman couldn't make the Devils out of training camp and your criticism was that this guy got bounced around.

I brought that up to say that he's the only UFA who even fits the mold of a defenseman who is still young enough to turn his game around.

Stralman wasn't expected to make the team when we brought him in. I think his name was mentioned as evidence why a move like this is a decent gamble.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Certainly as a good a gamble as any. AHL depth at worst. Dirt cheap.

 

[Tawnos]

By the way, how embarrassing is Zipay about this? Yet again...

NYR sign Detroit's Adam Clendening

No, Steve, he wasn't from Detroit.

CX: Clendening former Wing, was with Oilers

No Steve, he is not a former Wing.

 

[Mac n Gs]

This a very good depth signing.

 

[darko]

Lol Zipay.

He's thinking of Luke Glendening

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Decent signing. Should help in Hartford and be an OK call-up when needed.

 

[Fitzy]

Would've preferred Schultz but this is alright.

 

[Tawnos]

He's thinking of Luke Glendening

Well, that doesn't make it better, does it? One is a defenseman who just went unqualified and the other is a forward who isn't even a free agent.

Maybe an acceptable mistake from a poster around here, but c'mon.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Sad that the best defenseman the Rangers have signed so far hasn't played in the NHL since 98-99....

 

[nyrage]

He's thinking of Luke Glendening

Thinking of? Yeah right. It's more likely that he googled the last name.

 

[JT Kreider]

Stralman wasn't expected to make the team when we brought him in. I think his name was mentioned as evidence why a move like this is a decent gamble.

Torts fall all his faults helped turn his career around. Same with Brian Boyle, Prust, Johnny Mitchell, etc.

More likely the Rangers medical staff. That being said, the point here remains the same.

 

[Trxjw]

Good depth signing.

 

[Matz03]

decent pick up, pending NYR moves he might be in the mix or at the least solid D in Hartford.

This is a guy that kept getting plucked off waivers by other teams when they tried to seak him back to the minors.

 

[JT Kreider]

AV on the other hand put our entire roster in a position to fail. It's no coincidence nearly all our players had the worst years of their careers or regressed hard. Basically everyone outside JT. And the team had their worst playoff showing since 2006.

Eh. We've debated this a lot. I'm still of the opinion that he was handed an unbalanced roster and didn't hit on any successes to address it.

Either way, Clendening is as likely as not to even make the roster.

 

[offdacrossbar]

good move for hartford

hes an upstate ny kid.

a younger version of raphi diaz

good wheels and some offensive upside. not terrible defensively either. size is issue along with strength.

good play here.

 

[Joey Bones]

This was the only potential Anton Stralman on the market...

I could see it. Would need to gain consistency, though.

Can someone fire this idiot? my god he's awful to read
