7th D Man

Clague is an offensively-minded puck moving defenseman that is fairly bad, if not terrible, at defense. He has played in 33 NHL games so far in his career and has yet to score a single goal. He does have the benefit of being able to play on both sides (most of his AHL career has been on the right side).

You're welcome to take him if you want. As an LA fan, I won't be too sad if he gets claimed. He has been given numerous chances to solidify his spot in the lineup, and even with injuries to Doughty and Walker this season, hasn't been able to do so.

The development of Sean Durzi (who had a remarkable 5:35 PP Time on Ice in Saturday's game against Ottawa) has made Clague expendable, but I have a feeling that he still has upside and can be an NHL defenseman. Good luck!

IDK, not too worried about goals from the D corps and I’m also interested specifically because he’s offensive defenseman so I don’t really care about his defense. It’s a pure upside bet that doesn’t cost anything.

If you're not worried about goals from defensemen and don't care if he's bad at defense, then I'll happily join the Wild. I guarantee I won't score any goals and will be pretty terrible at defense.

He’s a .5 ppg guy everywhere he’s been. Scoring the goal is not the only thing that matters. He’s still getting on the score sheet. And the best part here is that if he doesn’t work out, you waive him and no harm no foul.
