CAL CLUTTERBUCK - Right Winger - 31 - $3.5MM - UFA in 2022-2023
LAST UPDATED 12/17/18
Since coming in a trade from Minnesota in exchange for Nino Niederreiter, Clutterbuck has proven to be a fan favorite for the Islanders, using his toughness and grit to kill penalties and contribute on the fourth line. Like his linemates Matt Martin and Casey Cizikas, Clutterbuck is not an offensive factor in most situations, despite nearly scoring 20 goals as a twenty-three year old. Where Clutterbuck does factor in, though, is on the penalty kill and in more physical situations. He never runs from a fight, and he's eager to agitate his opponents and get under their skin. Although Clutterbuck is a serviceable fourth-line veteran grinder, his contract, with its $3.5MM cap hit and several years remaining, is a very poor one, which greatly diminishes his value, making him arguably a negative-value asset.
