Maybe, he looked average in his own end during the world juniors (well the games that i watched anyway). He's not a liability there but I wouldn't have him out there to kill a penalty up by 1 with a minute left in the game.

Again something that can be taught. It's there unlike a guy like Hodgson.

Personally, I'd rather see them just buy Hodgson out.
- buffalofan19

Can't anymore, buy outs are done I think.

Won a cup with 3 different teams.

Had a knack for scoring.

Great in his own end.

Didn't shy from a hit or hitting.

Very good skater.

Made players around him better.

Very good pp guy(400+ pp points).

You can still buy a player out, but he counts against the cap at a lesser amount, which I am okay with.

Behave.
- Sabresfan-365

no he would of ..

eichel had to be the "GUY"

connor mcdavid had other players to take the pressure off him so he could play his game

Let me ask this..................... do you move Hodgson to the Leafs for Clarkson? just a question.
- SABRES 89

It might peak my interest honestly.

Clarkson is a Nolan guy.

Plays the RW which if Stafford and Stewart move on is very weak.

I could see it with parts thrown in.

The free ones are, but the cap hit buyout option is still there.

I wouldn't hate it. I'd rather have Clarkson at 5M than Hodgson at 5M.

Yes he is and I know some here don't like the " Nolan type guy" phrase but Clarkson is that.

The US had enough talent around him to put up much better numbers than he did. Eichel disappointed plain and simple. He wasn't the reason they fell short, but he was a reason.

One of only a few contracts worse than Hodgsons? I'd pass on it.

not like the canadian team i'm sorry ..

His contract is bad though.

Helps get the team to the floor.

But he makes 7 mil the final 2 years.
