Player Discussion Adam Clendening

[Raspewtin]

Getting scratched for Kampfer while Girardi and Klein are still hurt is the ultimate FU from AV.

He's done here.

Just by a quick show of hands, are any of AV's fanclub surprised that he still scratched the clear and obvious better option in Clendo, when it LITERALLY COULDN'T be more clear he was the better option?

Anyoneeeee?

"I think the stat line, it looks worse than it actually was," Clendening said. "You get a bad bounce on the first one and it kind of snowballs from there. The next thing you know you see a dash-3 next to your name. It's a pretty easy target. At the same time I hope it's not a permanent thing, or just a wakeup call. I haven't really been talked to."

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Yep, and then he sort of publicly criticizes AV's decision not to play him tonight. He's done.

P.S. - This is not to say I disagree with Clendo. He's one of the only puck movers we have on the back-end and has done a good job on third pairing.

But when the coach obviously is not a fan, and then you complain to the press about his decision not to play you ... you're treading on dangerous ground. That's all I'm saying.

 

[Raspewtin]

We can make the smart decision and give Clowneault a nice ****ing severance and keep the good player, just a thought.

Based on the contract extension...my magic 8-ball says "All signs clearly point towards AV staying"

The GM is just as big of a dumbass. Not going to happen.

 

[sabremike]

The way Brooks had to take cheap digs on the guy when he's down is a textbook example of why players hate him and have no respect for him.

People have said it before, he has "smartest guy in the room" syndrome.

When in reality, he's probably the dumbest guy there.

The good news is that it seems as though Adam has done enough to get an NHL contract next season: the bad news is that it doesn't seem like that contract will be with nyr.

Kampfer being put in 3 straight games while clendening sits. Hilarious. Av must really hate him.

It's so strange to me why AV just randomly picks guys to hate. Clendo, Yandle, Stempniak. All good players. All better than the replacements playing over them, or in Yandles case the wonder twins. It's just such an odd thing.

I truly believe with Stempniak a regular on the 4th line that year we get to the finals. Glass was such a detriment to that team.

Also the Yandle power play thing last year. WTF was that?

Prime PP minutes=Higher Contract AAV.

They did this with McDonagh before the long term deal.

Maybe they wanted to re-sign him somehow.

So you're telling me the Rangers purposely didn't put Yandle in the best place to succeed due to contract issues?

No, this is all on AV. And this happened even when they traded for him.

As for Clendo, it's also apparent that AV has a pure grudge against him for whatever freaking reason.

Alright, he does control icetime and schemes.

Fair enough, he didn't want to win enough then. Let stupidity get in the way.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

When he scratched Buchnevich, he did the same thing. AV had Arniel tell him, he couldn't even do it himself.

I really feel bad for Clendening. I know its unreasonable to expect him to play when everyone's healthy, and he probably knew that. This was going to be his real chance, and AV takes it away playing Steve ****ing Kampfer, an average AHL'er.

 

[Raspewtin]

I don't think he doesn't "want" to win, but sometimes I can't shake the feeling that he'd rather be right than win, like that Canucks poster said over the summer.

 

[McRanger]

Sounds familiar. I wonder if he posts on HF.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Pretty certain this guys is going to get traded?

 

[Off Sides]

So Clendening will be a RFA with arbitration rights, I have to wonder if the Rangers even qualify him.

I doubt he is going to sign the qualifier if offered, why would he?

If he takes them to arbitration he won't be awarded all that much but that also means the Rangers have no walk away rights if the hearing happens, maybe he's awarded more than they really want to pay. So why qualify him?

Why would he be eager to sign much of anything with the Rangers?

Could turn out to be a lost asset regardless of how valuable that asset is, because of coaching choices, which is odd, "right thing to do", I thought referred to giving the returning vet(s) playing time over McIlrath, which I guess does not apply to a player who waited as a 7th almost all year for the most part.

Little stuff and whatnot, but what's the point? So Kampfer can play, who will be a UFA, who may be re-signed, so he can play in the AHL again all year for the most part? I guess I see it as trading what could be a decent depth NHLer for a decent albeit underwhelming AHLer.

If they did trade Clendening, what are they going to get back, future considerations?

I don't get it, from an asset management point of view, none of it makes any sense to me.

I think they QO can be two-way, too.

 

[Off Sides]

I think they QO can be two-way, too.

Could be, if so less reason for him to sign,

but all the same is there any reason anyone can think of why they'd take what could be a NHL asset and turn it into nothing?

Even if they played him the 40 games this year, so he met the exposure requirements if re-signed, he'd have more value to some other team than someone who can not meet those requirements.

Kampfer has already been traded a couple times basically at future consideration value, I'd think they would try to some way get more out of Clendening whether through trade or just by keeping him as the depth 7th D even if they don't like him.

I'm really not too sure they have much of a expansion draft plan other than Vegas just takes who they take.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Kampfer should come out the next game now that we have a loss

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

We can make the smart decision and give Clowneault a nice ****ing severance and keep the good player, just a thought.

Your tired argument that Clendening might belong in the top 6 actually does have some merit.

Your insinuation here that Clendening is more valuable to the organization than Vigneault is just you going off the deep end yet again

 

[Vitto79]

Most say no but dude hurt Grabner in practice .... practice .... so he's benched

 

[EXTRAS]

Done as a ranger?

 

[NYRFAN218]

Done as a ranger?

I'd guess so. Coach clearly didn't think highly of him if Kampfer passed him on the depth chart. Maybe they do tender him a contract but I'm leaning towards no. He's the ideal 7th D for me so I hope they do.
