Jets Claim Defenceman Grant Clitsome Off Waivers from Blue Jackets

The Winnipeg Jets have claimed defencemen Grant Clitsome off of the waiver wire.

Illegal Curve’s Richard Pollock: “You never want too many defenseman, he’s a left handed shooting defenseman, not the tallest guy, but built tough. He can move the puck out of his own zone. he does a lot of what Johnny Oduya does, at less than half the price. If you are going to be the Winnipeg Jets and can fill the 5th or 6th defense spot with Clitsome for less than $2 million, and move Stuart up to the 4th defenseman, this is a good move by them.”
