RochesterExpat Posted July 1, 2023 Report Posted July 1, 2023 Connor Clifton is a good add for the PK. 1 Quote

Not overrated at all IMO. 3 2 Quote

But it's good to be good at board battles. But a lot of times it's also more than just the centers fault a faceoff is lost. The Sabres main problem is that they're worst in the league at them, and that when you take a subset of crucially important faceoffs, special teams and end game stuff, the gap between then and everyone else seems to get larger 2 Quote
Night Train Posted July 1, 2023 Report Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) So Clifton plays in the 2nd pairing ? 18-20 min a game Johnson in the 3rd pairing 17 min a game. Trying to help our top 3 from burning out. Vet leadership/stability.. I have no issues with either and don't give a damn about the $$. My checking account still balances.

GASabresIUFAN Posted July 1, 2023 Report Posted July 1, 2023 KA is definitely playing moneypuck. His last 6 signings and trades are all 1-3 deals and are real attempts at value. Comrie was a 2 year signing with little downside, but huge upside. Lyubushkin was a 2 year deal of a physical player at a reasonable salary. Stillman is a player KA was familiar with who had a cheap contract with term who was easily dumped if he doesn’t work out. Greenway is DG’s guys and could be a huge value acquisition if DG coaches him up. Johnson is a 1 year deal of a leader with a Cup who is connected to DG. Clifton is the real moneypuck deal. He is a guy people think can handle top 4 minutes. If it works you get a top 4 D for only $3 mill a year. If it doesn’t you know you have a solid 3rd pairing D for still a reasonable figure and KA gets another shot at filling the 4 at deadline or next off-season. 2023/24 Dahlin Samuelson Power Clifton E Johnson/Joki Lyubushkin 2024/25 (if Clifton doesn’t thrive as the 4) Dahlin Samuelsson Power ???? R Johnson Clifton 4 Quote
