In a 30 team league with those categories, I'd definitely prefer having Clifford. Big Red has no quit in him, and has already made some progress with his skating(biggest thing going against him when he was drafted). Hes still got a ways to go before he'll be on a scoring line but I see him as a high quality, character player who plays on the 3rd line who will help you in PIMS and hits for sure. As time goes by I could see him producing as many points as a Derek Dorsett or Chris Neil for sure.
