Reflecting on LA Kings defenseman Kale Clague, I spoke with Golden Knights’ GM Kelly McCrimmon, who coached the blueliner in the WHL.
Having drafted him 51st overall in 2016, the LA Kings had high hopes for blueliner Kale Clague as they looked to emphasize their defensive prowess towards another rebuild. It was just this past season, though, that Clague made his NHL debut for the Kings and while the competition may be tough on the club’s blueline moving forward, the 22-year-old nonetheless made a positive impression with the big club.
