The LA Kings just locked up defenseman Brandt Clarke with a massive five-year, $37M deal — averaging $7.4M annually — securing his future in LA through the 2029 season. At just 20, Clarke exploded last year with 8 goals, 32 assists, and 40 points in 82 games, while leading the NHL with 185 blocked shots. Drafted 8th overall in 2021, he’s already amassed 81 points in 185 regular-season games and 3 playoff points in 10 appearances. This contract is a clear statement: the Kings see Clarke as a cornerstone of their defensive future and are fully committed to building around him.
