We were right there
Because the same damn poster's schtick is to come to every Kings prospect thread and make damn sure we know some Ducks prospect is better. It's neverending. Smartest thing to do is just ignore it.

Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.

Did anyone say Perrault is a better prospect? He is a year older. I'm saying right now he is a bigger snub then Clarke.
I would trade Perrault for Clarke in a second. This is not a rivalry thing at all.
Edit: Really funny because going into their respective drafts I wanted all of these guys at the Ducks spots:
Clarke (after Eklund and Hughes)
Grans
Turcotte
Kaliyev
I'm probably a bigger fan of Kings prospects then some Kings fans lol.

My guess is he couldn’t get an American passport in time, he mentioned to Stéphane Leroux he did not have one

17 year olds are almost never good at WJC though. Even 18 year olds rarely dominate.
You need a team, not just the highest PPG players.
Right or wrong on Clarke I have no idea.

It shouldn't be confusing if you've spent any time seeing Ducks fans post around these forums.
Omitting Clarke is just sad.

Team Canada can do no wrong, in the eyes of TSN.........ESPECIALLY during the WJCs.
Pumping their tires all year round, and once the tourney hits its' stride, anything less than Gold is catastrophic.
Been like that for quite some time now, and even if this review took place after the Clarke snub became public knowledge, I'm willing to bet the talking heads at TSN still wouldn't dare question it.

Hall, Duchene, Nurse, Nuge, Chychrun I can think of...now Clarke.
Need a few more to round this roster out.

I didn't start closely following the World Juniors (and for that matter most prospects in general until the about 5 years ago or so), but that seems like an egregious snub.

Meh kings fans are alright… I prob spend more time on their forums than ducks forumsBecause the rivalry supersedes logic.
They may dislike the Knights more now, but the Kings will always be their primary rival just based on geography.
They see a lot of Kings fans

I love snubs like this. Similar to Kaliyev dropping to the 2nd round. Kid is going to have a chip on his shoulder for a while. Thanks to Team Canada!
Honestly, I’ve always considered it closer to a strength than a weakness. Then again, it seems the majority of people insist on critiquing his skating, when I have always thought it’s the biggest part of his game (however clunky it looks).

Same. I guess I"m just curious how he's improving this year all around. Didnt mean to suggest it's a weakness; just that we KNOW the offense is there for sure!

I've never really considered him "weak" or "poor" defensively, I simply questioned some of his choices looking for offense that led to chances against.
He's improved in that area, IMO.
However, I've always been high on him, I believe if you search this thread (not sure if this thread or another), I had him as the #1 player going into the 21' draft.
Edit - It was here, when he was snubbed by Team Canada LAST YEAR, lol

Scored 17 points was +10, in 10 games, in January.
8 goals, 43 points in 32 games, is +19 with 12 penalty minutes and 107 shots on goal.
Still leads the d-men in points.

It's possible.... Zellweger was basically in his spot for Team Canada
Clarke: 32 games, 43 points, 8 goals, 34 assists, +19 , 107 sog turns 19 in 9 days
Zellweger: 30 games, 39 points, 8 goals, 31 assists, +33, 118 sog turns 19 in 8 months
Clarke has way better size but Zellweger is a lot more mobile and an elite skater, depends what you like.
There are more players but I know the most about my teams prospect so just throwing a comparable out there.
