Confirmed with Link: Klingberg signs in Edmonton

Is that Austin Mathews with the gut.

Looks like Auston's father. btw, did Auston get off the toilet, or he's still crashing it on youtube?

The media seems very impressed with how Klingberg played tonight as a starting point

Did he play well? I was kind of pleased when they signed him. He was a legit No.1-2 in Dallas and is only 32, which is prime years for most d-men in the NHL. Hope he can get over his injury issues and put together a few good seasons.

I’m bamboozled as to why he hasn’t been given any PP time. If there was nothing else you brought him in for, surely some second unit PP time wouldn’t hurt. Ekholm is getting up there, there are worse things in the world than giving him an extra minutes worth of rest a game.

He's only on game 3. Maybe there's a plan for him

Imo he could be great in a PP role with his mobility and that quick passing

I didn't notice him at all in game 3 but people said he was bad. He had his lowest minutes. He might have been one of the ones fighting the flu

The main concern with him was how he'd react to his surgery. Imo his mobility and puck skills were great. He needs more time to adjust but I'm confident he will be as good as he was for Dallas. His style is a perfect complement to Nurse.

There's still the chance he doesn't pan out. We'll see at the deadline where we are at with him

He’s played 5 games, not 3. How long does it take a guy to get used to a second unit PP in practice?

Maybe it's one beer too many tonight but I can't recall the other two games.

He's getting back up to NHL speed. Give him some time.

I just feel like if we had an actual top 4 RD he would be much better as a bottom pairing guy. It's a huge risk putting him in a top 4 role with basically rookie behind him. That's calling for disaster during the playoffs.

Stetcher is a better player right now.
