Le défenseur vétéran John Klingberg se dirige vers les Oilers, rapporte Darren Dreger de TSN Hockey Insider. Étant donné qu’il n’a pas joué depuis plus de 14 mois, que peut apporter Klingberg à Edmonton ? Quelle place occupera-t-il sur la carte de profondeur défensive ? Ryan Rishaug rejoint Domino’s That’s Hockey pour partager ses réflexions sur la signature.

Whaaaaaaaa
Maybe it’ll be a good pick up, but I assumed the team would try to hold as much extra cap space to get a current top 2 or 4 D man.
When, i mean omg open your eyes, when type thing are you going to admit Bouchard SUCKS, defensive liability, scared to take a hit and had one lucky season of points put up yet no one looked at he cost the team double that. Fml people are duped by hype
perfect oilers taking leafs scraps again ohh well gl oilers hope we meet in the playoffs this yr edm vs leafs
You gotta be kidding me. The Edmonton Maple Leafs done it again. Another ex-Leaf ends up here!
broburg wiff
Good luck with that one, Oilers! 😂
Dark Roast runs a top tier D corps
I think any success on the blue line is entirely due to Paul Coffey. Please quit measuring defensive success by goals scored. Bouchard is crap defensively and there's no speed there either. Nurse may be better than he was, but certainly is not much at making a play.
And the Leafs crap the bed again. Another opportunity missed by the Leafs…. Again….. 😂
Tony DeAngelo is available isn’t he?
Isn't Tony A younger, healthier and a better offensive dman than Klingberg?
I am relieved that the Leafs did not take a flyer on another broken down player trying to make a comeback from injuries.
He will likely be a bust like that other Leafs retread – Zach Hyman 😅
This is going to Boom. Janmaark snd Klingberg have deep ties
I love the oilers farm team (leafs) some pan out some don’t. Just keep the pipeline strong leafs
god bless klingberg… but ive yet to see evidence, a risky defenceman like klingberg ever wins you cups..
Lol!
More Leafs table scraps. Oldest team getter older and worse defensively
Sign Rempe too.
Must be a lot of very stupid people running this organization……..we are second in the league, why do we need defenceman?
And Klingberg has visions of Stanley Cup in his eyes…. Hunger for Lord Stanleys mug is a Great motivator, I don't remember what Klingberg was like but this should motivate ,Brown, Stecher and Emberson also…. Oilers just got STRONGER!!!!
This is extremely low risk, you can waive this guy and bury this contract for no cap penalty if he isn't taken on waivers, worst case scenario. My biggest issue here is that the Oilers do not have a roster spot for him if he needs 10+ games to find his game again (which I think he will need, his injury and subsequent surgery were serious). Edmonton is competing for a division title and doesn't have the room for him to play poorly for an extended period of time. Stetcher and Brown as a platoon in that spot has been alright out there, Knoblauch has made it work.
He’s got the d-man smile, so I’m ok with him.
Coffey probably knows how to maximize his strengths.
oilers have to LTIR him until the playoffs.
Big mistake, the guys hurt all the time, hasent played in a long time, what the hell you thinking. Were not a rehab team we seem to always pick up old players, hurt players.
Coilers will still NOT SNIFF the Cup this year it don't matter who they get
Depth is a factor come the run, the teams depth is challenged in the farm system and Brown and Stretcher can be a number 7 so having a seasoned player who can fill the gap. Klingberg is not top a 4 he’s fitting in the bottom pairing as depth, I still believe there’s room for improvement on the D line.
Choke on it leaf fans lol hope he does well. If he doesn,t then you can waive him.
If Klinberg works out, bonus, if he doesn't, AHL with little loss. This is such a low risk signing with potential huge upside. WTF doesn't bring their best when you're playing with 97/29?
Leafs be like, we're out 1st or 2nd round, but we want everyone else in Canada to join us!
Oilers: Get bent.
This fit makes no sense at all lol. He’s a pp specialist that’s horrible defensively. Oilers have Bouchard for pp and they paid a guy 1.74 cap hit coming of hip surgery that a defensive liability.
What do we think? New starting goaltender or top pairing D-man?
Need bodies in a play off run
How did I miss this news the oilers need D so this should help
Same surgery Kane had right?
I'm getting Nikita Nikitin vibes, at least it's low risk.
I like this trade
Why????????
Klingberg has got to hate his former agent so much every day lol
Oilers should have signed Mark Giordano and Tony DeAngelo. The pizza boys would have delivered
The Hyman contract is one of the worst contracts in the NHL. Possibly in NHL history.
