Rumor: Pagnotta: John Klingberg has requested a trade

[Stephen]

If he would take 5-6 mil Dallas would have already signed him. Hell if he took 7 mil a year Dallas would have done it. But he wants close to 9. Not sure where you think he will take 5-6.

I’m just laying out the conditions in which I would bring Klingberg in via a potentially expensive trade. I don’t care what he’s looking for or what Dallas has offered.

 

[HFBS]

If you move Klingberg out our friend in Miami will go along.

 

[BB88]

Would love to see Florida make an offer for him

Florida needs better defense, to be able to shut down games.
Their offense is top level

 

[SlyIslands]

I don't think they will trade him unless they really fall out of the picture. They are only 3 points behind 8th place and won their last 4

To help the Leafs with their cap problems, propose a trade starting with Klingberg / Nylander

I’m far from a Leafs’ fan, but…

Nylander is 25, with 2 more years of term on his deal. Klingberg is 29 and a UFA to be. One of these is not like the other.

I don’t think the leafs would part with nylander right now. Even though klingberg is pretty much what the leafs need .

Awful for the Leafs Klingberg is a rental

 

[BfantZ]

Even as a rental , klingberg is the highest value expiring contract for defenseman this year . They could get a good haul for him as a rental . But it’s not gonna be a player like nylander coming back from a playoff team . Only chance stars have of getting a roster player back of that quality is if klingberg can find a team to resign with .

Nylander has been the best leaf forward this year. They are not trading him for JK who has struggled...aleast not right now.

Wasn't meant as a straight up deal, just a base for a trade.
The move to have Nylander's salary go the other way was a thought that the Leafs could re-sign Klingberg. And the most likely scenario where this would happen would be if Klingberg had agreed to an extension prior to the deal happening. Definitely not an easy task or anything, but just a thought with everything going on and especially since both team are looking to make the playoffs (at least for now).

What I’m saying is , you don’t usually see two teams that are trying to contend swap important pieces .

Yeah, its not likely by any means. Just something that would sort of make sense personnel wise.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

Habs wouldn’t be interested. His offense is too good and he doesn’t get pinned in his own zone 70% of his shift.

 

[bert]

I don't blame having to play for Rick Bowness. Would not be surprised to see him get back to his form from a couple years ago. Once he plays for a coach that lets him utilize his strengths.

Lol oh yeah you played for Rick Bowness? Never heard a player say a bad thing about him.

Klingberg would be a pure rental for us because Jack Campbell exists

If an extension can be worked out with Klingberg, definitely something workable in principle.

However Nylander has been fantastic so might be a hard sell.

Klingberg is a better contributor to hockey tho. Nylander is good and I've defended him when he had a poor season right after aigning his deal, but he remains a perimeter winger. Klingberg is a first pairing dman who was a major factor for the Stars making it to SCF not so long ago. If he was open to an extension with the Leafs, it isn't to crazy to consider imo

 

[Stuart Little]

Would Dallas do
Muzzin straight up

 

[Stuart Little]

Muzzin for
Klingberg

leafs save 1.4m this year and get the better player

dallas
Gets player with term (price leafs pay for the rental)

benefit to
Leafs too is they free up 5.6m to allocate to
Campbell
Possibly mikheyev
Etc

 

[Dynamite Time]

Would Dallas do
Muzzin straight up

Let me think about it… no.

We don’t need an older Lindell/Hakanpaa.

 

[jackjohnson]

He is exactly what Vancouver needs.
Trading For him makes no sense though, because he’s a UFA.
Just give him a good deal in the off-season

Canucks dont have the cap to sign him though. Boeser straight up for Klingberg could work as a trade and open up cap space for Canucks to sign him.

You're bad at this.

Stop it.

no?

I think Dallas holds on trading klingberg. I expect Dallas to be in the mix in a wide open western conference. They will try to sign klingberg in summer, if not, let him walk and let some team overpay
