Speculation: John Klingberg missed his 3rd straight practice. Is he on the hook, demoted, or long-term injured??

[Scintillating10]

Yes. I had low expectations and I’m still incredibly disappointed. He straight up sucks.

What would Leafs give to take on his caphit?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

What a slacker.

Injured players don't practice

Could be a long-term hip issue that he decides to get fixed mid season and shuts it down for surgery.

God knows I need surgery in both my shoulders for partially torn labrum’s, but I still play hockey, lift weights, play basketball, etc. always in pain and discomfort, but just push through it.

Robidas Island

That island is starting to get overcrowded but they build another one called Murrays island.

As an outsider, I still can't believe they signed him in the first place. Of all the needs this team could have addressed in the off-season, offense was at the bottom of the list.

Worst signing of the summer? At least it’s only one year but what a waste of cap space.

Taking a flyer on rhd who looked decent last year for one year is " worse contract of the summer" lmfao

But he wasn't decent last year. He was awful in ANA, and after a decent start, poor in MN.

He is offensively, and physically talented, but something seems to be broken in his decision making process. I thought he was better when he was younger, but maybe his poor play was just covered up by an otherwise competent defensive scheme in Dallas.

Man, they dodged a bullet not signing him.

Looked decent last year? He was the exact definition of a defensive liability. Klingberg and Benoit were by far the worst defensemen on the worst team in the league

You know why

Klingberg and Reaves are both in contention for this, Tre is sadly a hockey idiot. At least Domi has been decent, I guess.

He’s currently better out due to injury, but once our D is fully healthy, I don’t think he should play - I honestly think Timmins is a bit better overall.

Could be that the mods are running an experiment on how blatantly disrespecting a few select fanbases the first half of this season and the Leafs are part of the experimental group.

Could be that it's a thread with 0 reports and some 60 posts in over two days, and not enough mods care enough about speculation around John Klingberg to have noticed that he's injured.

Who's to say.

Closed for being too obvious an example of our social bias experiment.

Also, it appears that the thread title was answered.
