No. 10 Matt Clark

10. Matt Clark-


selected in the 2nd round of the 2009 draft Clark is a big stay at home defensemen. At 6’3 and 215 pounds this is a big kid who could fill out into a 6’5 225-230 type which means he could be a big nasty physical presence in front of the net and on the walls. He had an excellent rookie year for the Brampton Battalion with 3 goals and 20 assists.

He reminds me a lot of current Ducks prospect Mark Mitera so the Ducks could possibly have a nasty shutdown pair in the future if they both reach their potential. Make no mistake about it, the strength of the ducks system is the group of defensemen, which was once weak and is now one of the best in the league, and Clark could be a big part of the teams future.

I’d say he’s about 3 years away from seeing NHL time but he has a pro body so it’s possible he could see action sooner.
