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?
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.
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.
I would really hope Klingberg spends until the 4 nations cup in Bakersfield to get his game back. IMO it would be really stupid to throw him in the lineup right now as he will be rusty for sure. No one has said if he's reporting there or not - may find our more tomorrow on Hockey Day in Canada
If he pans out.. great. If he doesn’t no harm! Wave him before the deadline. Oilers are looking to add another top 4 man before deadline. Kane will be ready to go for the playoffs, Oilers add another big strong stay at home, heavy checking D man, klingberg works out to be good ( don’t even need him to be great) and just like that… the oilers have gone nuclear right before the playoffs start! Sitting 4 points out of first place in the league right now is great but means nothing when the playoffs start. Need some grit. We have the experience. Now let’s finish this! Go oilers go!
He can be waived if he doesn't perform. This won't harm the Oilers deadline. Of course the bonus would be for him to perform and keep him of course. It's essentially a Josh Brown replacement for the meantime
Klingburg is a Forward playing defense and he is going to make Skinner a better Goalie in practice because his specialty is the Chicken-wing shot,and hes great at finding it. Hes just to small @185 and not gritty enough. Oilers need a Moritz Seider type not a Skinny Bouchard type.
Stars fan in peace. However bad you "think" Klinger is at defending. Think again. He is FAR worse than you're thinking. You may do the usual thing of "well he can't be as bad as...". Stop. Stop right there. He is the worst defensive Dman in the NHL and it isn't even close. Klingberg IS the standard of "well he can't be worse than..", and it doesn't go lower. As for his offensive game? Well we all know what he can do there when he's on it. I personally never liked him, despite the numbers, as he had a tendency to slow the play down too much at the blue line and get fancy with it rather than just being decisive to keep the puck moving. But hey, he might still have some value there for a team with an awesome top end. Just don't make him defend....for the love of god 😂
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!!!!
@@lowtierduster-7254 He had 51pts and a +30 in 63 games in 2022, that's why they gave him a 2yr x 5m per contract. That's not nothing, like I said, yes he may have a bad attitude, but he can play.
Josh Brown had a golden opportunity against Boston and pia zadorov but he chose to turn a blind eye.He only got upset and took a penalty when he was hit with a clean check by Trenin.get rid of him… Blew his chance to prove his worth👋
@@ML-my8qq I havent been watching the roster closely. But i heard that we are still kinda lacking in net. Why wouldnt we go for a better backup or starter?
@@Bakemer94 Well in his last 15 starts Stu is 11-3-1 with a GAA of 2.09 and a save % of .925 so like…. He’s doing quite well. Keep in mind he has appeared in 30 games this season.
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.
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.
What kind of clueless clown would call Zack Hyman, leaf’s Scraps!? 😂🤣😂🤣meet in the playoffs, how in the hell could the oilers Do that when the leafs never get out of there division.
@ he is you can probly put any decent hockey player with mcdavid and he will do the same or better than hyman lets see hyman on a average team with no superstar he is just average player worth 2-4 mil a yr hey he has only,played with mathews or mcdavid
@ hey i would say if i was a owner give me knies over over hyman everyday of the week he is bigger stronger and same talent but would you call knies average i do just like manyother playin todays game and fine he is above scraps but that one of how many edmhas takin that left leafs
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.
So dramatic. Oilers have been one of the best Defensive teams in the league. You don't get there if your top 4 is "crap" as you imply. Are they the best D in the league. Nope, are some over paid, yup. Are they "crap", Nope.
@@darpompie4354 I didn't imply that they were crap, 5 of them are pretty decent. Bouchard is not much of a defenceman; if he wasn't playing with Ekholm, he wouldn't have a job.
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
@ who got beat like a red headed step child on McKinnon second goal and continues to get beat NONE STOP, scared to take a hit and fists 2 goals for every one he gets, fml watch a damn game!!!!
@ watch bouchdouche the last 5 months, he’s not elite, he’s not even 3rd pairing material, if you watched him get beat 3/4 times a night you get sick of it no matter his 1 point contribution
@curtiswhite6662 I get it, he's not an amazing defensive defenseman. However, he's steady more often than not, and he puts up a pile of points from the back end. Since the beginning of last year only Makar and Hughes have more points by a defenseman. And that doesn't include the playoff run where the guy was a machine. Getting beat by one of the best players on the planet, on a goal I'm sure Stu would like back, doesn't make him bad at hockey. And he's only 25! Watch a damn game dude... thats an awful take
I want the drugs Rishaug is on. They have played well defensively? WTF. Skinner and Pickard are the ONLY reason. Nurse and Bouchard have been disasters. Skating is not the key to DEFENSE! Tying up the other team is the key, and having situational awareness which Nurse and Bouchard absolutely have none of. Just look at Colorado. The reason they aren't higher in the standings is Makar. His offense does not make up for his lack of defense.
I love the oilers farm team (leafs) some pan out some don’t. Just keep the pipeline strong leafs

Plus playing D on a team run by Knoblauch and Coffey.
This is going to Boom. Janmaark snd Klingberg have deep ties
Right! They were both in Dallas!
Don’t forget about him and Rico in Anaheim!
They won IIHF hockey gold together with Ardvison and Echolm
Best D man in NHL
I like this trade
Trade?
@ signing I was to say lol
Dark Roast runs a top tier D corps
"Dark Roast" 🤣👌💀
I agree with Ryan we still need another dman one that has some term and could eventually play significant minutes when ekholm retires
He’s got the d-man smile, so I’m ok with him.
Tony DeAngelo is available isn’t he?
@DreHomme-d5c these idiots are probably skeptical or think that being a locker room cancer doesn't matter.
@DreHomme-d5cno way… SKA St. P bought him out?! That’s wild, when did this happen?
@DreHomme-d5ci thought they mutually agreed to terminate the contract?

I say give klingberg a 5m x 5 LOL
Oilers are 10x the team the leafs are lol
There is a reason players do better in edmonton than toronto hahaha
Sign Rempe too.
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.
Likely bouchdumb is gone in a trade hopefully
