Confirmed with Link: Klingberg signs in Edmonton

[McDrai]

Agreed completely, and I don't believe he can be asking for that much considering everything.

Either way, I think the team sees him the same way I do, free player who might help, but they still need to look at options for further improvement (Unless Klingberg blows the doors off)

He would have loved The Ranch

No assets out and a sizable upgrade on stecher imo

It's pretty wild that Edmonton has become a destination. Many teams would have taken him on this contract

Agreed, plus Nurse has shown track record of success with puck movers. This could low key turn out to be shrewd signing.

I am kinda hoping he returns to form and we run into Florida again in the finals. The battles he had with Tkachuk when he was with Dallas were epic.

As for Edmonton becoming a destination; winning will do that. Also, doesn't hurt that winters have been pretty tame lately, a guy can get used to this climate change thing.

Usually I enjoy bitching out TML fans, but those players didn’t do shit in TO. Until they win in Alberta ima gonna hold powder before showering them.

Does anyone here know if Klingberg played any significant PK minutes in his career?

 

[McTonyBrar]

So I will say it now, like it or now, Klingberg will get his first look with Nurse, but Stetcher and Brown have been there before the signing.

It's not an ideal spot, but it's the most realistic for right now.

Stauffer had said they may first try Ekholm and Klingberg

Power play yes. Not penalty killing. He has zero short handed pts in his career and his played over 600 games. Most games I have seen him play he a liability in his own zone

2017-2018/2018-2019 he played some time on the PK, but no, this guy is not a defensive stalwart.

If klingberg has less gaffes a game than Bouchard, we good

 

[Ritchie Valens]

The Oilers trying to become Team Star Trek? We’ve got Pickard, now a Kling-on. May as well trade for Ryker Evans too.

Legit did not know that Pickard was ever a Leaf.

 

[McHelpus]

Does anyone know when he can start playing legitimate games? I would assume skates with the group when they get back to edmonton.

Bouchards has been money last 3 playoffs, I don't get all the bashing this guy receives. He was on par with Hughes last playoffs was clutch time after time. I'll go ahead and say it. This team isn't winning a chip without Bouchard.

 

[McTonyBrar]

He had no leverage and still got a contract we can't fully bury when it turns out he still blows.

When Brown gets sent down, Klingberg's cap hit becomes 824k. How can we not bury him?

So they're still accruing space (or will be, once Brown and Ryan/Philp are sent down), but if/when they need to go into LTIR space, that extra mil is ticked on


Basically they're still on path to have 2 to 3 mil accrued, but they'll only be able to add another (roughly) 4mil on top of that vs. the full 5.15mil of Kane's LTIR space.

Seth Jones 50% accrued over his whole contract.

Book it

 

[Biltmore]

He looks like a 73 to me

They all look like 10s after midnite.

I'll let the GM who is no longer with the team know.

 

[Mr Positive]

Is it really such a big deal that he hasn't played in 14 months? It's not like most dmen are playing from May to October anyway. It just feels like a footnote that is meant to sound like a bigger deal than it really is. I do assume he'd have some rust, but it's nothing like if Landeskog would come back for the Avs, for example.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Btw, what's up with that kid they got for McLeod? I thought he was supposed to have potential.


Looks like Johny Sins before he lost his hair.

The kid we got for McLeod is currently tearing up the AHL... He's 2nd in AHL rookie scoring

The funny thing is.

Klingberg is how everyone thinks bouchard is.

 

[McTonyBrar]

What number is he getting? 3 is retired and Arvi has 33

The number Oscar Klefbom wore
