Clifford being dealt is pulling on too many people's heartstrings. Kings could still sign him or sign a kid who's willing to play the same game as Clifford for less money.
Confirmed with Link: Campbell/Clifford to the leafs

He’s a 4th liner dude.. no way around that and a 3rd is great value for Clifford possibly a 2nd

Here is my perspective on the deal. From the main board.
People are looking at this deal all wrong. Campbell is the goalie that GM's sign as an UFA in the summer. At 1.65 starting next year, he is almost 1M more than Dubas allocated with Hutchinson and Sparks. One cannot ignore the cap hit and the assets given up for Campbell due to the Leafs current situation. All could have been avoided had the back up goalie position was addressed last summer. When you look at it this way, it was a costly deal for Dubas. And Blake can easily wait till the summer to fill the back up goalie void. Either in house or by UFA without giving up one solitary asset while gaining 3 from this trade.

Because this game isn't played on imaginary depth charts.
Clifford is the last of the Cup vets that should have been dealt. His value on ice may be limited, but thats not why you pay him.

Moore is going to be the new "Long Beach native, Matt Nieto"
That’s great if our culture was up to par and we had a winning culture.. but we don’t and he was also part of that.. I’d rather sign Nic Deslauriers this off-season...

hell, if he sticks long enough to become even just a meme, i think we win
His value overall is limited... he can still resign but if he’s the culture guy and a glue guy then it doesn’t say much considering we’re lacking..
it’s time to move on, time to get the kids their cups of coffee and that’s isn’t going to happen with our vets still around and guess what... nobody wants Carter or Brown..

Exactly, how could you be so excited about giving up two thirds for Clifford and Campbell?

Clifford was definitely going to be dealt.
He's also definitely a possible re-signing in the off-season.
I like the six wins condition but initial reaction is being underwhelmed but here's hoping Moore is a competent 4th liner that finishes checks and adds some fire to this group of p***yes.

Wasn't initially impressed with the return. But after hearing the condition on the other pick, I think it's a pretty good deal.
Thanks for everything Cliffy!

I really don’t understand your whining?
At worse, we literally got great value for a 4 th liner and a backup goalie.. shit we got squat for Bishop and Keumper..
at best, we end up with a 2nd and 3rd rounder aka amazing value.. now if Clifford held some sentimental value, I’m sorry but keep in mind he could still resign(which seems likely) and what then?
The value seems fine to me. A couple of thirds and maybe a second and a throw in prospect seems fine for a backup goaltender and a bottom 6 rental forward.

I think that’s just sentiment for a true gamer..
This IMHO, was also done to show/prove that if guys don’t get their shit together they’ll be kicking rocks... Also keep in mind this guarantees more time to a Pro, Grundy or even JAD since Amadio can play RW
Just a matter of time Doughty asks to be traded.
Kings trade Muzzin, Clifford, Simmonds - these are all his bffs. Plus, the Kings suck. Lewis is next and that’s his other bff.

Its A Kingspiracy !
Exactly. If you thought Cliffy getting a high 2nd, you are dreaming. Go back a few years, many here where crying over his contract and claiming he was an over paid 4th liner hurting our cap. I love Cliffy , and getting a 3rd was right price, same with Campbell. He was a reclamation project that we got some good years out of, and a 2nd or 3rd for depending how his year plays out. That's pretty good for a back up.
Bummer to see Clifford go. The return is fine but I wish the warm body we got wasn’t a midget.
