Good for him - surprised its not a 7 year deal though

 

[MMC]

Already as many signings today as yesterday, and more money handed out today than both yesterday and Monday

 

[SI90]

good job for the Islanders when a Clutterbuck eventually gets injured. Guatier could play on the fourth line. Most likely AHL though

Wanted Gauthier on NJ as a depth add because he fits our high tempo + skating profile, not a bad add by Lou.

End of the holiday in the US, it always slows down and picks back up

Cal gets hurt, he gets called up and scores 4 on Igor in the outdoor game.

This guy has some flashes but he cant put it together.

he has 1st round talent

Sounds a lot like Hudson Fasching before this past season. Got a solid shot and managed to put together a decent campaign to etch himself a spot on the roster.

Career AHLer. Speed but nothing to go with it

Better skating than Fasching but less of a grinder. He’ll be in the running as a 4th line option when Clutterbuck hits the shelf, but will probably only be noticable for like 4 out of the 15 games he’ll get.

Clutterbuck belongs on Robias Island at this point. Same with his buddy Matty Marts. Shift Fasching down with Durandeau or someone similar.

he has 1st round talent

What does this even mean? He was literally drafted in the 1st round some moons ago but has been a disappointment bordering on bust. his current trade value would be something close to Future Considerations.

Does one thing well, and that's drive the net for a partial breakaway once every couple of games or so, that he usually doesn't bury.

Other than that, he doesn't generate anything, and is below average defensive player who can't play special teams.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

He has rare and I mean RARE size and speed, but he has no idea how to use his natural gifts. Very frustrating player.


He's good at drawing penalties, though.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

He is really not bad at all. In the right circumstance he can be a solid bottom 6 contributor. A ton of speed and a big body but doesn’t know how to put it all together.

 

[stempniaksen]

If he was consistently physical he'd be able to carve out a role for himself at that size/speed but the interest level comes and goes. For sure can play on a 4th line but if you're a team with any ambition you could probably do better.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Oh he'll be a Ranger killer alright

 

[Icelevel]

If he could consistently play as well as his best games he’d be incredible. Alas,….

 

[SpezDispenser]

It means something when Ottawa is looking for an upgrade to their bottom six and let him walk. 1st round talent my backside.

 

[periferal]

This guy has some flashes but he cant put it together.

Luckily the Isles have an entirely subpar coach to help him finally reach his potential.

 

[Synergy27]

Hated the Rangers giving this guy up for nothing and hate him signing on the Island even more. He’s a frustrating player but his talent combo is super rare. Still won’t be shocked to see him put it all together eventually.

Your typos never fail to brighten my day.
