23-Year-Old DefensemanD
Los Angeles Kings
2025 Fantasy Outlook
A dynamic defenseman with enormous offensive potential, Clarke exhibited flashes last season of why he was taken with the No. 8 overall pick in 2021. Over the first 41 games of 2024-25, the 22-year-old supplied three goals and 22 points, but across his last 37 appearances, Clarke contributed just two goals and 11 points while seeing his ice time decrease. The deceptively creative blueliner still needs to improve defensively, but Clarke's upside on offense is clear -- Clarke received 17.1 percent of shift starts in the offensive zone this past season, the highest mark among Kings defensemen. He might be sheltered again in 2025-26, but if he can earn a full-time role on the power play, Clarke should be able to reach the 40-point mark. He merits a late-round selection in all formats, but it’ll be worth monitoring what type of workload he receives early in 2025-26. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kings in August of 2021.
Scores PP goal Monday

March 3, 2026
Clarke scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
ANALYSIS
Clarke made it a 2-1 game at the 17:20 mark of the first period after burying a wrister past Mackenzie Blackwood, but the Avalanche would turn things around late in the game. This was Clarke's eighth goal of the campaign. The 23-year-old blueliner is on the verge of setting a new career-high mark in points. His previous season-best output was 33 points in 78 contests in 2024-25, but he's up to 30 points (eight goals, eight assists) in 60 appearances this term. As a member of the top defensive pairing in both even strength and power-play situations, it seems it'll only be a matter of time before Clarke surpasses that 33-point threshold.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Through the previous two campaigns, Clarke has only managed to appear in 25 regular-season contests for the Kings. In those outings, the 21-year-old Ontario native notched two goals on 42 shots and six assists, including four power-play helpers. The blueliner is expected to make the full-time jump to the NHL this season and could be the quarterback for the No. 2 power-play unit. As such, at least a 40-point campaign could be in the offing for Clarke - especially after he averaged nearly a point per game in the minors last year (46 points in 50 games). That may be an ambitious mark considering his limited experience, but the fantasy upside is certainly there for Clarke if he can be a full-time NHL option.
It's widely believed Clarke will make the jump to the NHL in 2023-24, especially after the Kings shipped Sean Durzi off to Arizona this summer. Clarke spent most of 2022-23 with OHL Barrie, racking up 84 points over 43 games between the regular season and the playoffs. He also recorded two points at each of the AHL (five games) and NHL (nine games) levels. At 20 years old and joining a strong team, Clarke figures to be eased into action -- think third-pairing minutes with time on the second power-play unit. Dynasty managers need to know his name, but those in redraft formats can wait to see how he adjusts with the big club this year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension isn't imminent
DLos Angeles Kings
September 7, 2025
The Kings are in no rush to get a contract extension done with Clarke and want to further evaluate him in training camp, James Murphy of RG reports.
ANALYSIS
Clarke is entering the final year of his entry-level contract coming off his best season as a pro, in which he recorded 33 points in 78 games while averaging over 16 minutes of ice time per night. Under new general manager Ken Holland, the Kings are taking a wait-and-see approach with Clarke. Along with his 33 points, the 22-year-old also had a plus-13 rating and 121 blocked shots in the 2024-25 regular season.
