Talent Analysis

Clark has prototypical size for a blueliner and is a well-regarded defensive defenseman.  Clark's never going to be a huge point producer at the next level, nor will he supply a lot of value on the power play, but he is consistently matched up against the opposing team's top line and more often than not has proven that he can come out on top of those battles. He's a smart player who prefers the safe, secure play to the exclusion of risky moves.
