Klingberg most valuable trade value in the NHl ?

[PatriceBergeronFan]

This list is a joke.
Let me fix it for you

Doughty
Hedman
Vlasic
Karlsson
Subban
Josie
Burns
Lindholm
Carlson
^ are the only people above him

Then you'd have the next group
Klingberg,
Provorov,
Werenski,
Gostisbehere,
Slavin,
Rielly,
Jones,
OEL,
Keith,
Giordano
who you could all argue round out the top 10.

And after all of them you'd then have
McAvoy

You'd be wrong as well.
Klingberg is definitely not a top 5 defenseman either. Offense isn't everything.

 

[badboy1994]

It’s disgustingly how underrated Klingberg is, he is actually good at defending and blocking shots also. And never mind his break out passes in the defensive zone.

Giving his age and skill level he is a top 3 defenseman in the nhl and given his contract he is easily one of the most valuable in the entire NHL.

At 4.2 million you can add some other great players, it’s a no brainer.


Hedman, doughty, Klingberg, subban and Karlsson are the top 5 in the league

 

[SourTemplePilot]

Through 1/20/18, Klinger has 40 assists...




McDavid has 38..

It’s crazy because Klingberg has been great defensively also.

 

[FerrisRox]

Why would he be wrong? I would EASILY take 3 players of Klingbergs caliber over one McDavid if building a team.

Great, but your example requires a magical world where there are three Klingberg type players with Klingberg type contracts.

He's wrong because there isn't a single General Manager that would take Klingberg over McDavid, regardless of their contracts.

 

[Zrhutch]

Honest to god I probably wouldn’t trade him for any other defenseman right now. He helps his team win more than any other D does for their respective squad, and that’s what should affect the Norris voting. But it won’t, so

 

[serp]

Big parts of the offense completely run through Klingberg to get set up especially the depth lines . I sincerely doubt thats just replaceable by more than a couple of guys in the league.

 

[Rob Brown]

I Can name about 20 better overall defenseman, top 5?

He's not better than

Doughty
Hedman
Jones
Provorov
Slavin
Gostisbehere
McAvoy
Vlasic
Werenski
Karlsson
Subban
Josi
Burns
Keith
Lindholm
Tanev
Gio
OEL

Ect

This is incredibly short-sighted.

Based on this thread, it's clear that a lot of people don't watch Klingberg.

Not even close. McDavid and Crosby easily hold more value, especially for their marketability alone

Man, why so many people sleep on Klingberg. "Marketability" of stale McDavid/Crosby would be nothing like Klinger.

Klingberg + A first line forward is better then Mcdavid ...... it gives a cup contender flexibility to add depth to a already winning team to have one of the best defensmens in the world locked up around 4 million

 

[badboy1994]

Honest to god I probably wouldn’t trade him for any other defenseman right now. He helps his team win more than any other D does for their respective squad, and that’s what should affect the Norris voting. But it won’t, so

It’s true, and his defense is very underrated also. He has great stick work and positional play. I think that it’s hilarious to see some of these comments in the thread right now. Klingberg is easily one of the most valuable players in the nhl

 

[LeafChief]

I would disagree, Klingberg at 4.2 is more valuable then Mcdavid at 12 million if you’re trying to win a cup.

Come again?

 

[badboy1994]

Come again?

Would you rather have Mcdavid for a cup run For the next 3 years or would you rather have Bergeron and Klingberg for that cup run. I think that it’s obvious.

The truth is, the only fair trade I can think of would be Mcdavid for Klingberg strait up. Other then that the stars get hosed

If you think that Klingberg is one of the best defensemen in the world, or even in that conversation, we don't have any common ground to have a conversation at all.

I''m not sure where Bergeron comes into this.

I thought this thread was about Klingberg having the most value in the league? If you have Klingberg instead of McDavid, sure you have the capspace for someone like Bergeron. Doesn't mean you'll get him.

Smarten up.

 

[FerrisRox]

Giving his age and skill level he is a top 3 defenseman in the nhl and given his contract he is easily one of the most valuable in the entire NHL.

Wait, just in the time that you started this thread, his value has improved from being a Top 5 defensemen in the league to a Top 3 defensemen?

 

[Jumptheshark]

So klingberg is arguably the best offense defenman in the NHL and a top 5 overall defenseman overall in the nhl signed to 5 more years at 4.2 million a year.

Is there anyone in the NHL who holds more value in a trade then klingberg ?

So he is more value than McDavid, Matthews?

 

[Sureves]

I think Barzal does.

I thought the OP would be impossible to top. Yet, here you are.

What a class act.

How did you get Bergeron?

 

[MrHeiskanen]

How did you get Bergeron?

Ok, replace Bergeron with Seguin.

 

[PAZ]

Thats not what i said. Just that Klingbergs contract is easier to build a team with than McDavids giant monster that is kicking in next year ( albeit he will work out unlike Ekblads monster ). Of course McDavid is a much better player to build around . You can still be a terrible team even with the best player in the league if you can't assemble a good enough roster to compliment him though.

Just for the record even though McDavid is amazing i don't like the approach to the contract extension that the Oilers went for. I don't think it was smart asset management . ( albeit i don't know if they had another choice since i have no idea about McDavids demands )

You asked if there was anyone else with higher trade value than Klingberg, I used McDavid in this instance. IF Klingberg had the highest trade value in the NHL, that would imply you could get any player for him.

Or to frame it another way, if two teams said they'd give up a 1st + Prospect for one of McDavid or Klingberg, which one would hey chose?
