Is Klingberg not good anymore or something?

He's the only available RHD who played 20+ minutes on a playoff team. Hes also consistently been a positive offensive force his entire career. He's been mostly healthy. Some of his advanced stats are good.

That said, his plus/minus on mostly good teams is deeply concerning.

Norris , Formenton and Dman addition to still come. Zaitsev needs to get moved out.

Did I read somewhere today that our internal cap is like 78Mil or around there? If so (and I could be making this up its been a wild day), we still have a good amount of cash available

I'm kind of hoping now the RHD we get is Klingberg if it's not an absurd price. Would be great to not have to spend assets to acquire another dman. That way we can ship off the 2nd from brown and another pick or two to ditch Zaitsev and we're set.

And then we can try and get Weegar next year when he's UFA.

I spent a bit of time on the Dallas board during the playoffs. Basically Dallas fans feel about Klingberg the way Sens fans feel about Zaitsev.

They used to love him. They always used to say he was better than Karlsson. LOL

Unfortunately, fan opinions are one of the more accurate ways to assess a player. Like crowdcourced knowledge.

Klingberg seemingly wants a major deal and shouldn't be the target imo, I think we need a Methot type to round the D out...Manson would have been ideal imo especially for what he signed for and being UFA.

Gaudreau to Columbus is so odd unless he has a baby momma there or something. Why leave money on the table for a spot that isn't close to home?

Strangest signing of the day

Seems like he wants to be completely out of the spotlight and Columbus is one of the most lowkey hockey markets in the league

John Marino for two 2nds

Chychrun for Zaitsev, Branny, JBD, 1st

Just spitballing but with how the last week has gone this seems somehow realistic.

I mean why wouldn't we? We can get middle six wingers like candy, heck there are 3-4 available in free agency right now. True top 4 RHD's are so rare and hard to find. Pretty simple logic really.

The optimist in me likes to think that at least one of Brannstrom, JBD or Thomson can step up and be a top 4 D next season.

I don’t even think JBd and Thomson will start the year in Ottawa.

If we don’t bring someone in we will be rolling with Zaitsev in the top 4 and that will kill our playoff chances.

Eventually I think at least one will. But it will take some time. I think the best scenario is land Chychrun with his contract, and by the time it coming up we can flip him and JBD can take his spot.

Pens just signed Rutta I wonder if that is their insurance to losing a roster guy, like Marino?



Shouldn't this make us want to trade him more?
Click to expand...

Unfortunately it makes other people not want to trade for him (is the assertion).
