Jackets Get Some Clitsome
(Sorry, couldn't resist)
Even though Clitsome actually accepted his qualifying offer prior to the start of Free Agency, the club made the extension official today. The owner of the best name in professional hockey, Clitsome had 1 goal, 2 assists and 6 PIMs with a 0 +/- rating in 11 games last season.
He's likely to be a third pairing or 7th d-man with the squad this season, and I wouldn't be entirely shocked if he starts the year in Springfield should John Moore make the club.

Nice Title
Now at the very least we have a semi-tested 6/7 d-man for next year. Even removing my Clarkson-tinted glasses, he didn’t look out of place in his short NHL stay. Beyond one bad turnover (in a game where he essentially set up all 3 CBJ goals), Clitsome played well-disciplined defense.
And while we’re here:

I certainly don’t think he had a bad stay, but so far his game is a stay at home guy with some set-up skills. Which means that even if the team walks away from Stralman and doesn’t bring someone else in through a trade or free agent moves, he’ll still be competing for a job against Klesla, Commodore, Methot, and Hejda, not to mention the more offensive players like Russell, Tyutin, and Moore

"Smart move.
I think increased sweater sales alone justify resigning Clitsome. HIs popularity will be epic if he sticks with the big club.
This is true. His St. Patricks day pratice jersey ended up being almost as expensive as Nash’s at the auction.
