Kale Clague's Player Profile

Eric Engels of Sportsnet - June 20th, 2016 - "Kale Clague is a young, mobile, offensive defenceman with exceptional vision and the ability to play against top opposition.

If there’s one thing Clague is known for, it’s his blazing speed. Add a good set of hands and a knack for making the right play, and it’s easy to see why he’ll be a solid offensive defenceman at the professional rank."

The Draft Analyst - June 15th, 2016 - "The Wheaties may be a stacked team, but there were periods when Clague was the back end’s calming presence, a telling sign about his upside. He can break out with hard, accurate stretch passes or a smooth, calculated rush up ice. Clague’s stick is always in the right position, and he’s quick and decisive on his reads. His hands are soft enough to deaden an errant pass and whip a strike up the ice to a counter-attacking teammate."

Sportsnet

Damien Cox of Sportsnet (Nov. 18th): "He's Smooth and skilled and Had an excellent start to the campaign, but has tailed off. Last season played only 20 games because of injuries."

Damien Cox of Sportsnet (Oct. 14th): "Canada’s best defenceman at the Ivan Hlinka summer showcase is silky smooth on the back end."

Future Considerations

Zenon Herasymiuk of Future Considersation (Oct. 19th): "“Clague is possibly the most purely talented defenseman I have seen come down the pipe in the last few years. He has soft hands and a powerful stride which he uses to dynamically transition the puck and create offense for his team. He has a big, booming shot, poise and an electric skill set which make him difficult to contain when he has space and a threat to create offense at all times. He has the potential to be one of the top defenseman in the entire draft class.”"
