Adam Clendening Facts

Drafted: 2011 round 2 #36 overall by Chicago Blackhawks
Agency: Premium

A smooth skating two-way defenceman that can read the game like a forward. Possesses slick hands, a good stick, and a sharp shot that jumps off of his stick. All-in-all, a productive two-way defenceman that has a high offensive ceiling, and is responsible defensively. (Curtis Joe, EP 2014)
