Say I have my commander in play and I have a Skullclamp attached. He gets killed by say a Lightning Bolt and I want him back in the command zone. Do I get to draw two cards from the clamp trigger or does my general never hit the graveyard?
Moving a commander to the command zone when it leaves the battlefield is a replacement effect. You will not get any "dies" triggers if you choose to do so.
To clarify a bit just in case, "dies" means "put into a graveyard from the battlefield."
If a creature was not put into a graveyard, or if the creature card did not originate from the battlefield, it did not die.
