Cal Clutterbuck is a fine fourth line player. At one point, I’d even go as far as to say he was a very good fourth liner with the New York Islanders. It’s hard to justify is $3.5 million cap hit which is exactly what we are forced to do now.
Listen, I love the Martin – Cizikas – Clutterbuck line as much as the next guy but these players aren’t getting any younger. Clutterbuck is 31-years-old for example. A guy like Clutter is at his best when he’s hitting people. He did that a lot less this year, partially due to his age.
