It's insulting when they completely disparage the franchise every April with their lackluster playoff efforts

According to Dreger on TSN…
"[Doughty's] game came at the expense of young defenceman Brandt Clarke. Yeah, there was a little bit of undercurrent of speculation about if he could be in play," Dreger explained. "He’s not in play. He’s a young defenceman who just experienced how tough it is to stay in the NHL.”
"So, this is nothing but a recharge for Clarke."

Winnipeg and cheers for the kings and exclusively shits on the Leafs. The Leafs part is either to troll or just to be able to more depressed about a team than his place of residence.

It's the crazy time of year so I'm not surprised at wild speculation. So props to Dreger for throwing cold water on this one quickly.
The only thing that makes me anxious is ... well, Blake.
I grew up in the Sundin years, where people shit on them all the time as the overpaid muskoka 5. Those guys accomplished more in the playoffs in a couple seasons than this group has in 8 years, and weren't as overpaid compared to their peers either.
And lmfao yea winnipeg sucks big time

I heard the Kings amateur scouting was super high on Gabriel Eliassson as well. Makes me feel better at wasting a 2nd rounder on him if the Kings amateur scouting valued him so highly.

If Clarke is moved it better be in a massive package for an upgrade that is still young like Quinn Hughes.
We have a young, cost controlled, offensive defenseman on a team starved for goals. He does have some defensive warts but he is also capable of being pure offense. He showed this at the beginning of the year averaging point a game for the first 11 games until our idiot coach called them out and then proceeded to neuter him because he wasn’t playing LA Kings hockey. Lately we see what playing LA Kings hockey gets this team. We have the same type of person upfront in Kevin Fiala. You can see the guy oozes offensive creativity, but because of our system being so robotic, and our players lacking, high skill, he cannot play the game he wants to and when he does, we have no players that can figure out what he’s doing.
If Blake does trade him, it’ll probably be for some troglodyte knuckle dragger that would’ve highly been sought after in the dead puck era.
Management has to go

There's no reason to add skill players. The system isn't set up for them & the coach won't play them. They'd rather ice Burroughs.

Impossible to take this at face value when you have Father Time taking half the roster to poundtown every night and Clarke performing better than all but 1-2 other defense men nightly by most metrics...AND being short of OFD in the lineup, for some reason they seem to think we need 6 defense D and are going to grind the game into winning zero to negative one but instead it just means you lose by several goals because no one can move the puck.
In other words if Clarke needs a rest maybe he can call whatever necromancer has reanimated trevor lewis to apparently be in tip top shape
