Few thoughts:
1. His shooting % is shockingly low at 2.5%. Alot of the reason has to do with simply being unlucky. Its not the whole reason, but a low shooting % will sink offense for a season. Not really that considered as obviously hes still generating the chances and shots
2. To slightly contradict the first point. While he does have crap ton of shots, shots from D are just way lower danger chances. D that can move the puck around and get into closer slot areas get better average than D that just hammer the puck from the blueline. Klefbom moreso this yera has been firing a ton of pucks on net, but from the blueline area. Hes also alot more shoot first, whereas last year he was more of a puckmover. I think this has to do with coaching though, as in a preseason interview he said he talked with coaches and a goal was to get 250 shots this year. So Id have to think they wanted to set him up as a big time blueline shooter, vs as a nimble puck mover who also could shoot. We have some good forwards on this team, so maybe its better to move the puck to them for better chances
3. Other teams saw excel last year and gameplanned him big time. Aspects of his game could be figured out by the opposition. Itll be on him and the coaches to adjust for the future
The bold isn't remotely true.
Klefbom has had exactly one offensive play his entire NHL career. It's shoot first, shoot second, shoot third. Klefbom and "nimble puck mover" don't belong in the same sentence.
His lack of offensive diversity was as much a criticism last year. His shot just so happened to be effective last season where it's basically disappeared this year.
