Justifiably, alot of negative talk on HFOil. Thought Id bring in some more positive news
Berksire did some digging to evaluate the best defensive defenseman in the league using stats like high danger chances given up , quantity/quality of shots given up. There is the familar names like Giorando, Vlasic, Tanev, Brodie. But right in there with them, is our boy Oscar Klefbom
This is not the first time Klefboms name has come up as being really, really good when looking at defensive metrics. In 16/17 his defensive stats were some of the best in the league. This also happened across multiple method of measuring defensive impact, so not just from one source
I truely believe we will have a #1 D (or close to) in Klefbom one day. I think he deserves alot more credit than he gets, especially from Oiler fans. It would suck to see Klefbom get traded
