If you don't want him to play low minutes, then play him for more minutes? It just feels like Clarke is going to get traded in some package for a goal scorer.

Just said as much on the trade board. Reading between the lines—all the bizarre comments, the mismanagement, and being the only real piece of value that’s forced out as odd-man-out of the lineup all the time, I think he’s a goner. Kings would probably just hold onto hm and tank his value for another year or two but he’s one of the only valuable assets they have left to flip for a mediocre scorer that will come to the Kings and be a 30 pt guy.

Unless gavrikov is re-signed nó chance that happens, but who knows with Blake

That quote coming from the one guy that actually has the power to give Clarke more minutes is pretty hilarious.

Kind of feels like saying the quiet part out loud and indicative of the issues with this team?

I don't know what everyone is worried about the Kings have a 35-year old 4 Nations Champion they can rely on for another 10 years to anchor the blue line.
