Apparently it will determine whether or not he needs a longer break.
Just have surgery for crying out loud.
I bet the org got embarrassed when it leaked that they were playing him injured to showcase him.
So where are we going to find a Replacement for Klef?I'm betting on longer break.
Its an easy money bet.
So the team knows he was injured but traded Davidson and still kept playing Klef? Very smart

The fact that Chia was shopping an injured Klef is not smart. Talk about selling low. Bear is not here to replace Davidson. He's replacing Larsson. Bear will not get more than 9 games hereDavidson was smart asset management. This way the organization gets a good look at Ethan Bear and show him what it takes in the league. It also gives the kid an NHL paycheque to finish the season.

I've lost any hope for Chia. No longer trust him with anything outside of draftingEven go back to last summer. Knowing Sek was likely not going to be himself at any point this year after major surgery, and knowing Klef was struggling with a lingering shoulder injury. We bolster the D with Gryba and Auvitu and some career AHlers I forget the names of.

That wasn't a fact.
It was purely speculation from Friedman.
So we are all doctors Now? does anyone Besides Klef, Doctor and the team really know what the issue is? Keep assuming you know better then the team... (mod)
I don’t read the rumours thread so this is the first I’m hearing of this. This makes me wonder if the rumours of him refusing surgery are true and they’re pissed off with him.I bet the org got embarrassed when it leaked that they were playing him injured to showcase him.
I agree that Friedman was speculating, at least to some extent, but he had some logical ground to do so. You could tell a week or so before the deadline, while he was on Stauffer's show, that Friedman thought the Oilers were shopping Klefbom. He subtly hinted that there was a reason the Oilers were playing Klefbom while he was obviously injured--apparently, everyone and their dog knew Klefbom was actually injured.
So, the argument would go, why would the Oilers be playing Klefbom through an injury if they aren't trying to showcase him, given that the Oilers have been out of the playoff picture for awhile now. Who knows what's really going on though.
Anyways, it will be just another massive, massive **** up by this organization if Klefbom's injury bleeds into the regular season next year, given that everyone apparently knew he has been injured. If his injury requires surgery, which it sounds like it very well may (shoulder injury, that's what I think), his rehab could take a long time. We will see how this plays out.
