NHLPA won't let him retire. LTIR for another season after this one then out of contract. I doubt he plays NHL hockey again but stranger things have happened.
Searching twitter for sightings of Klefbom. It's a pipe dream, but I still hope he decides he wants to come back. If I were him, I would train for the 22-23 season and if the shoulder gives any warning signs I would back off and call it quits.
I'm penciling him into my ideal roster for next season.
Pretty sure Holland mentioned he isn't coming back.
Whatever shoulder he has left is artifical at this point. He needs to collect his money and preserve his QoL, rather than coming back.Nobody can count on him coming back. You have to plan as if he won't. But if he does...

Exactly. They spent years developing him and signed him to a good contract. It takes time to come back from a cornerstone essentially retiring in his prime. There is no way they could have planned for it.Oilers have actually done reasonably well considering that KLEF was the number one d man on the team when he stopped playing. Loss of a number one d man is not insignificant.
I think it only works if you sacrifice yourself firstI would sacrifice RNH to the hockey gods to have a healthy Klefbom back at his best . I rather it be Nurse but the hockey gods would throw Nurse back at us .
But..but..but...Klefbom is pre-retired. The only reason he isn't actually retired is that he would lose his salary. Let him go guys....just let him go.
Everybody would be moved down to where they belong in the lineup so.....how much would a healthy prime Klefbom help this current team?
Nurse gets played less, team defence gets better.how much would a healthy prime Klefbom help this current team?
Yeah man,Just had my shoulder done last April and it was nowhere as serious as Klefbom. I would say that he is done. You never get totally rid of the pain and the strength is nowhere where it use to be
mine was definetely from playing baseball my whole life. Its funny, a fella could throw all he could as a young fella and do it again the next day. Then one day , u feel a click as u previously said and its constant pain when u throw and u cant throw as far. Now my right hip is done from sports as well. Need a replacement soon enough. Funny thing is, I wouldnt change a thing and I would do it all over againYeah man,
I just dislocated my shoulder when I was 19, and I still don't have a full range of motion, and it painfully clicks when I move my arm above my neck.
As someone who studies anatomy, you have no idea the mechanisms that go on in that area. One thing screws up there, everything else sort of falls out of sync.
Klef ain't playing hockey again.
