With a massive 6-foot-6 frame, Clara is balanced and makes strong, confident pushes. Great skating ability for such a large goaltender. Clara is also very smart when it comes to setting his feet on quick developing opportunities. Setting his feet early allows him to focus squarely on the shooter and the release of the puck. This also leaves him less susceptible to being beaten on fakes, because his feet are set and he has access to both of his edges. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
