ALL ABOUT THE FUTURE
CAL CLUTTERBUCK A GYM RAT. ALL things considered, he’d rather be at the rink than under a stack of weights. His regular season debut has been put on hold 4-6 weeks by by a leg injury sustained in camp, but he does eventually plan on providing physical workouts for his opponents more regularly Clutterbuck, 25, had never been traded by any team at any level until he was acquired from the Wild in June, but he’s not harboring hard feelings. He’s saving those for for opponents. “There’s definitely excitement,” he said. “There’s an opportunity for me to come in there and grow with the team. There’s a lot to like and build with.” The Islanders parted with prospect Nino Niederreiter – the fifth overall selection in 2010 – for Clutterbuck and a…

RETURNS & EXCHANGES
The American League’s new All-Star Game format is pretty Swede. The AHL all-stars will face Farjestad BK of the Swedish League, the first team from outside North America to play in the league’s mid-season showcase. A perennial powerhouse in Europe, Farjestad is a nine-time SHL champion and has won four titles in the past 12 years. “If we were going to do this, we wanted to have a marquee team,” said AHL president and CEO David Andrews. “It’s a good platform for our league and it’s going to be an interesting experience for our players.” The All-Star Game and skills competition will be played Feb. 11-12 at the Mile One Centre, home of the St. John’s IceCaps. The AHL returned to St. John’s in 2011 as the affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets, following…
ASK Adam?
QUESTION: Miikka Kiprusoff: Hall of Fame worthy or not? Joe Cordova, Burnaby, B.C. ANSWER: Not. Definitely not. Yes, Kiprusoff has a Vezina Trophy on his resume, but he simply did not function at a high enough capacity for a lengthy stretch of time to warrant Hall of Fame consideration. When you look at his best years (including Calgary’s run to the Stanley Cup final in 2004) Kiprusoff was clearly at the top of his game. However, his save percentage dropped every year after that until the 2009-10 campaign and the Flames never won a single playoff series again during his tenure. He earned a special place in Calgary’s collective heart, but he isn’t a Hall of Famer. QUESTION: The NHL has touch icing and the CHL has no-touch icing, plus the NHL lets…
