John Klingberg played hardball with the Dallas Stars as he refused an 8-year-deal at $7M AAV in 2022 and it backfired on him in spectacular fashion as he was forced to take a 1 year show-me deal with the Ducks. Basically he f'd around and found out, and missed out on a huge long term deal and tens of millions in the process. About $45M. OUCH.
To make matters worse he was injured early in his Maple Leafs stint and barely played in 2023-2024. It's July 4th now and Klinger hasn't signed. Is he done in the NHL for good? And how crazy was his reluctance to sign with the Stars? One of the absolute biggest fumbling the bag moments in NHL history.
