Resign Klingberg or not? How much?

This is why GM’s make the big bucks! Long term could find us in LTIR. If he agrees to 1 year cheap the following season sees Ekholm Kulak Walman and Klingberg UFA when yer money is all going to McDavid. So easy to paint yourself into a corner

The cap next year will be at least $95.5M, and in the year McDavid's deal starts it is expected to jump to $104M. The year after that we are looking at $113.5M. And these may actually go even higher. With so many key players on longer deals the cap should open up substantially. Next year is the last year that there may be a bottle neck.

Klingberg and Brown might be playing their way off next year's Oilers team if they continue with their strong playoff play. Pretty sure they will be offered bigger contracts elsewhere. But if winning is their #1 priority... maybe they will take less to stay here. Hoping Perry comes back next year as well.
 
If Bouchard takes a 8M x 2 years bridge, and we move on from one of Henrique/Arvid or both. We can re-sign everyone except for Jeff Skinner.

If we trade Stuart and bring in one of Hofer/Soderblom in the offseason with the idea of bringing in Gibson at the deadline, we would be in a good situation.

If we factor how much Brown has been making over the 2 years here including bonus, he's making 2.9M/yr so I expect him to re-sign for somewhere close to 2M-3M.

Klingberg I expect him to re-sign for 2.5M-3.5M.

Frederic I can see signing for 2.5M-3M x 1 year to boost his numbers here and sign in St. Louis after that.

I get the feeling klingberg will be looking to take a bit of a discount for some stability

I'm guessing a 3x3.25 deal is signed

If I were him I’d do 1 year. He seems healthy now but didn’t get to really prove himself for a bigger contract.

He probably thinks about the extra 50mil that should be in his name every night, I would.

Jeezuz... we should sign Bouchard to long term this year then (if possible).

Imagine in three years time you could theoretically have a roster with 12 guys making $1M (ELCs + Perry, Janmark, Brown types) and still have $100M to spend on the remaining ten guys! Yikes.

There is going to be HUGE inflationary pressure on salaries. A bridge on Bouch will make us pay big time in the long term.
