Quintessential replacement level defender. Idk how much better clifton is, but i guess the real value is the presence of both pushes lyubushkin out of the lineup for good. Thats worth ~2 wins already.
- Michael Ghofrani

Clifton will be better, for the sole fact that he bring things to the team Henri doesnt (hitting, blocked shots) but I have no doubts that Henri could bloom to be a better version of himself, no doubts he could be a better d-man than Clifton. Both have 5 seasons under their belt, Henri's 4 years younger though.

Didn't Clifton work with Donnie at the USNTDP? Highly doubt he plays joker more if that was the case.

Clifton wasn't brought in to rotate with the likes of that group. Could he play his way there? Im sure he could. He'll be given every chance to be a top 4 guy this year though.

so will joker

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't look like it unless Donny was an assistant there prior. According to the internetses, Donny got there in 2013-14 season and was there until 2016, Connor left for Quinnipiac after the 2012-13 season.

I could be wrong, twas why I asked. Im really not familiar with the USNTDP

True that, they definitely still like him.

Me neither, just wanted to see. You're right, if he's another USNDTP player like Greenway, we could assume there will be some special treatment.

Pretty solid field on that 12-13 team. Not completely stacked like more recent teams, but

Eichel, Compher, Tuch, Larkin, Demko, Bjork, Milano, Hayden, Clifton, Frank vatrano, Buffalo boy Sean Malone

Wonder why it shows the coaches on the 2 you posted but the one year before that I posted doesn't show the coaches.

Side note, Granato does not look 6 foot

And I don’t want Bryson on this team.

Anyone see EK says Kane already knows where he's playing, says it's a Contender.

Toews comes back from his cabin the same time Kane heals up and they both join Pittsburgh

so we know none of that is true?

Well the evil side to a EK rumor is the opposite, so know does that mean he signs with Buffalo. I don't consider us contenders.

frazier is horrible on nfl network


super bowl or bust year, he must have been relieved from his duties and to keep the money had to stay off the field this season

Stanley cup contender this season, probably no.

Sabres paying +4000. Last I looked.

You think pk88 takes a 1 year deal? He may take a 3 year deal from the Sabres and consider us a year or 2 away.

Maybe

Their current cap makes a multi-year deal at any kind of cap hit difficult.
