Value of: John Klingberg to the Oilers

[ConnorMcMullet]

I feel like Klingberg would be a great fit on the Oilers. He's on a great contract and is only 25, and scored 69 points on a struggling team this year. He is a RHD and can quarterback a powerplay really well. A defense of Nurse - Klingberg, and then Klefbom/Larsson looks really solid imo. I'm really not sure how high his value is. How's this:

2018 1st (9th Overall) 2019 1st (unprotected), Jesse Puljujarvi, Ryan Strome, Ethan Bear

John Klingberg, 2018 2nd

I would think it would be an easy pass from Dallas. Klingberg is clearly the best player in the deal and it creates a big hole on defense for the Stars.

You could insert any team there. Why does Dallas consider this?

 

[EDMOILERS9729]

I would think that Klingberg is untouchable in Dallas. Absolute steal of a contract and hes a young RH 1D.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Draisaitl+ or there's not a discussion to be had IMO.

and the oilers aren't gonna do that so there's no deal.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Your not adding a player of Klingberg's ilk without giving up a major core piece. A question mark in some draft picks and another prospect who hasn't played up to his draft ranking don't get the conversation started

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

I think the value is there for sure, but the only way we make that deal is if we are rebuilding. Klingberg and his cheap contract are to important to the team.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

i'd think it'd be something like Drai + Bear/Klef and the Oil still might have to add a pick while Dallas sends a lesser pick back.

You don't acquire a defenseman of his caliber and age through trades without blowing up your team and farm.

Klingberg isnt available. Theres bo package you can put together that Oilers fans would be ok with to get the stars to say yes.

 

[Homesick]

Thats a brutal quantity for quality deal - Oilers fan

 

[member 157595]

If my team had Klingberg he'd be unavailable, so I can't see Dallas moving him either. Great young RHD on cheap contracts are absolute gold.

 

[McJesusSaves97]

take out the 2018 2nd and Dallas still does not consider this for a quantity package of "maybes"

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Ouch that stings.

Oilers easily get the best player.
If Klingberg were older, quickly approaching ufa status this might make sense for Dallas.
He is not though and I can't understand why Dallas bites on this proposal. Want younger talent? Trade older players for picks/prospects.

Lmfao

We gonna have to lose like.... probably drai in order to move the needle. No deal to be made unfortunately. Could use a decent winger (not interested in RADiator)

 

[Magic Mittens]

The only scenario where id move Klings is if Dallas won the draft lotto and the drai was part of the trade. But even then I don't know.

Which would be better long term

Seguin and ?? As our 2C with
Heiskanen - Dahlin
Lindell - Klingberg

Or

Seguin and Drai as centers with
Heiskanen - Dahlin
Lindell - Johns/Honka

Guess it all depends on who would be the other C and what it costs to get that C

I won't comment on value, but i don't see Dallas trading Klingberg....kid is just to important to them.

The 2019 unprotected pick is nice though.

 

[WhatWhat]

Uhhhhh Kling is a legit #1 D signed at 4.25 for 4 more years. I dont think there is a reasonable offer Dallas would consider for him from any team

 

[Johno]

McDavid or GTFO. No other piece(s) on the Oilers make sense from Dallas POV to move Klingberg.

Draisaitl and 2 1sts would...

These are the reason Dallas would not move him. And surely not for a bunch of lesser pieces.

I hate posts like this. I get it, Klingberg is untouchable. But STFU about McDavid, okay?

Not saying the value is equal, or that other pieces couldn't amount to equal value. Just that the hole that Klingberg would leave would be okay if someone of that caliber was coming back. Anything less, or few lesser pieces are simply not worth it from DAL point of view
