Picked up his first win for the Italian Mens NT today in a 5-2 win over South Korea.
He had 23 saves for a .920sv%.
He made the mens NT for the World Championshop as a 16 year old but didn’t play a game.
I’m telling you - many are sleeping on this kid.

I hope they keep sleeping and the Habs can nab him at high value.

He is playing for Italy at the D1A WC. Italy has a chance at getting promoted to the top division.
Clara has split games with former OHL goalie Justin Fabio and posted the better totals through one game a piece, posting a .947sv% compared to Fazio’s .889sv%.
If anyone wants to get a look at my Favourite goalie in this class against some pretty high level competition, the D1A WC is where you can Catch Clara.

Clara has all the makings of an elite goalie. Tall, athletic, sick glove, etc. Super underrated.
How do you know Montreal is interested? Do you have any private source for that?

I don't no.. just seems like the type of goalie they'd be interested in. Goaltender with size and athleticism, coming from one of the less traditional countries and could be had in the mid rounds.
Maybe somebody who knows the Swedish league can answer this question: as an import but NHL selected young player, how many chances may Clara have to get regular TOI at senior level in SHL and/or Hockeyallsvenskan?

Färjestad has Matt Tomkins signed as starter and is rumored to sign swedish world jr-goalie Carl Lindbom who was great in Hockeyallsvenskan this year. Getting games in Hockeyallsvenskan would be ideal for Clara but I could see him playing in J20 Nationell next season again.
Edit: Signed with Tampa Bay

Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if he looks at N/A next season if he can’t get time in one of the Swedish Mens Leagues.
He would be highly coveted in the CHL.

I don't think being an import and drafted really has much to do with his usage, it applies to any number of guys, your Bichsels and Pastrnaks. If he's good he will play.

Played for Italy yesterday against Lithuania in the World DI A Championship tournament and saw that he's ranked 6th amongst European goalies according to Central Scouting.
Like Devils' goalie Akira Schmid he is a large man.
At this point in his development, he does not play with the same patience as Schmid and often makes big moves; leaving large areas of the net open at times.
His tool set is interesting.

It kinda depends if he has shown any interest in moving to the CHL, doesn't it? And I assume staying in Sweden is his first option. He can always get a loan to Allsvenskan if the crease at Farjestad is too cramped.

Didn't play in final game vs. England as Italy went with one time Sarnia Sting goalie Justin Fazio (lost 5-3).

Confirmed loan to Brynas in the Allsvenskan next year. Interesting that he will be the backup to Lindback (former Nashville Predator) and physically they are very similar. Less confusion to the goalie coach I suppose 
This week he participated to a development camp organized by the Kings in Berlin. Source Development Camp 2023 in Berlin | Eisbären Berlin (only in German, sorry).
According with this article 2 Goalies New Jersey Devils Should Target In NHL Draft, also the Devils may show interest in him.
