Klef said the same thing two months ago. He's been good to go for quite some time.
As long as this guy isn't the Oilers team Doctor, good to hear he is fully healed up.

Ouch. Tough to please. They should have a talk with coach McLellan of why Klefbom played almost 25 minutes, which was more than any other Oiler Dman by about 3-4 minutes or so.

Yeah I heard that and got a good chuckle out of it! He also said something like Larsson was being lazy and that's why he wasn't practicing today

It's nice to see those two becoming such fast friends. This is a pic Larsson put up a few weeks ago on twitter.
I wonder does he have a problem with his vision, because what else explains why he didn't see Puljujarvi wide open in the PP against Calgary time and time again?

I hope he has a great life, it's too bad his pro career ended so soon.

Our team would be so good if we had him in our D core

Would be awesome if the team gave him a job in the organization but he probably wants to live in Sweden. Too bad about his career.
I think if that had been in the cards it would have happened at some point over the past couple of years.

I sure miss him. Unfair how fast his career ended. I think about it all the time how good we would be if he was still playing
Yes, a legit top pairing defenseman on a great contract. Imagine replacing Ceci with Klefbom. This team would be scary.
Klefbom is a LHD, if he was healthy there wouldn’t have been the need to get Ekhlom.
I'm glad this thread got bumped up because today Klefbom is officially no longer an Oiler. What a great player when he was healthy, I sure miss him.

Some say…
Klefa was my favourite player and I kept holding out hope for one last appearance… It’s so unfair to both sides that his career ended when it did. He would have made bank today if he wasn’t hurt and we lost a #1 dman at age 26, who was also our biggest bargain contract

I always thought that if it wasn't going to work out for him with his shoulder, that Klef had the looks and personality to find his way in media, perhaps as an analyst on games for the Oil. He was well-spoken, too.

I dont follow him on any social media
Does anyone know how his life is going post hockey? Haven't really heard anything in a few years

And they wouldn't have signed Nurse for $9 million because Klef was better than Nurse and signed for much less. Klef's injury may have also played a role in Larsson leaving the organization. With Klef still here, our D would be much better. Imagine a top-4 of Klefbom, Larsson, Nurse, and Bouchard.
I always liked Klefbom, but he was never the player Ekholm is now imo. He obviously could have gotten there, and he was trending a good direction.
despite what he was or was not, it would have been very nice to see him develop beyond his mid twenties.
