Are Klefbom and McDonagh that far apart in value anymore?
The contract strongly favors Klefbom. Age favor Klefbom. Experience and current play, still in favor of McDonagh, but for how much longer? Klef was a solid top pair on a 103 point team and scored nearly 40 points last year. How much of a gap is there between him and McDonagh really... I mean more than reputation wise. Another season like last and I'd say they are equal... but at that point one still has years on his contract and the other is only signed for one more year.
So then the deal is Pulju and a 1st for Grabner. I think we can all see that would be a hard pass for the Oilers.
Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Yes, "add words." I like Klefbom but right now the difference is more than age and contract
