D Brandt Clarke - Ontario Reign, AHL (2021, 8th, LAK)

[CanuckistanFlyerfan]

5g 16a 21pts in 16gp

idk how there isn’t more talk about this kid. One point behind his team lead while playing 2 less games.

really, really like this kids potential.

Thought he was the best player on the ice last nice. Not sure how he didn't even get a star, but he was all over the place and ended up with 3 assists.

He leads all OHL D with 23 points in 17 games. No one is even close to his 1.35 pts per game. All this on a mediocre 10-7 Colts team (9th overall) and he's 18 until February. 6.02", 188 lb frame. He still screams Dougie to me which is exactly what LA ordered.

Glad to see some non-Kings fans starting to notice, Clarke has been fantastic

Lambos is better

Lambos is better

The f*** he is

 

[JohnLennon]

Can anyone explain why they would snub him? Seems to be having a fantastic season?

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

The f*** he is

I mean I’d rather have Lambos, but to each their own.

 

[Dominance]

Absolutely mind-blowing omission.

Stats are there, history of top-quality play and leadership with TC is there, and from everything I have heard and read he has been Barrie’s top player by far.

The f*** is going on here. Our top RHD isn’t even getting an invitation to camp?

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Lambos is better

Spoken like a true homer.

Canada always seems to do something that makes you scratch your head. This is it for this year.

Cutting him at camp is one thing, but not even being invited? Damn.

 

[HughJazz3dg]

There has to be something we’re all missing.

Which NHL team do you root for?

That right there tells me it's political between Hockey Canada people and L.A. management people.

What the actual f***? Hockey Canada is embarrassing. First with handing Perrault for free to USA Hockey and now this shit.

They didn't hand Perrault to USA hockey lol I agree this is a crazy omission to make though.

You're right in that lol but just letting him go the US team when he's a PPG in the AHL this year? That's an embarrassing f*** up and this is just as egregious.

I mean end of the day Canada can't force him to play for Canada. Perrault also isn't going to be playing for the States this year either. Clarke is just them making a terrible decision. Perrault is a dual citizen picking one of them. Not in the same realm.

Hockey Canada couldn't spell his name imo so autofill couldn't save them

Would be a better reason than whatever they end up giving

 

[BondraTime]

Aren’t the Colts in the midst of a big Covid outbreak?

Or they played the Wolves this past Sunday and Sudbury have 15 guys out with Covid or something?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Just came back to amend my post to mention this, heh.

Especially with camp coming up vs. covid protocols, he may HAVE to miss.

But he's vacced and was sick w/covid already too, poor kid.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Spoken like a true homer.

Correct. And somebody who had Lambos higher than Clarke on draft day. Oh, and aren’t you a kings fan?

Was it Covid or Mono?

 

[jfhabs]

Is this real?

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Is this real?

Yes that is a tweet from one of the most credible sources in hockey. Huge shocker Clarke didn't get an invite, especially with our lack of RHD. Maybe its COVID related, maybe it's something else idk.

He should dominate the OHL while the other WJ guys are gone for a month or so.
