I don’t really see the fit unless oilers were also moving barrie…. Also think they’d rather just pay with picks over broberg.
Proposal: Edmonton | Anaheim. Bro | Kling
- Thread starter MBH
- Start date
Klingberg has been absolutely brutal this season for Anaheim. Unless he picks it up he’s not getting anything like that.
That’s ignoring that Edm needs defensive help and that’s not the type of player he is. Between Nurse, Bouchard and Barrie they have enough offense from the backend

Lol in what world would the oilers grade broberg for an aging Ufa they could have just signed in the offseason?
The popular narrative is that the Oilers would have to add for someone to take Barrie's 4.5m cap hit. Then they give up more assets to pick up a worse player making 7m? I think not
Do you feel at this point JP is a cap dump? I'm still bullish on Broberg (I think he'll be better than Bouchard long term), but JP for me is a cap dump.

All of this. The Oilers need a tough dman that can actually play d. Im pretty sure that does not describe Kling. And massive overpay as well. And he is a rental. Oilers get hosed
Ducks fans didn’t propose this, all Edmonton fans say no.

Feels like Edmonton is just adding another barrie. They’d be better off targeting a more defensive minded top 4 dman. If gavrikov becomes available, Edmonton should be all over that

Because they all quoted a deleted post. They don't make much sense when you remove their context, so it doesn't make sense that they stay.

OP is very familiar with wanting to gather a bunch of players with questionable levels of defensive acumen.
This trade does nothing to improve Edmonton and would not reflect an appropriate price for Klingberg who is having a pretty bad offensive year, which is especially galling because offense is his calling card.
If Edmonton wants to win a Cup when they've got McDavid and Draisaitl on cheap deals relative to their talent... they need to improve their actual defense, not try to draw more points out of their back end.
If this was last year and it was Hampus Lindholm - sure.
Klingberg is not having a year worth that trade. Not even close.

At this point any other team would be paying another to take Klingberg. Zero value and will be looking at a massive pay cut
Why would the Oilers do this.
Klingberg is Barrie 2.0 and his cap hit is $2.5m more.
I wouldn’t want the Oilers to sign him as a UFA or pick him off the waiver wire… why would we trade assets to get him.
NO.
