Description

Pagnotta reported on NHL now that Klingberg has requested a trade. These are my top 3 destinations. CGY could upgrade Gudbranson and have three top 4RHD. A Hedman-Klingberg pair would be one of the best in the league. Or TOR finds a better partner for Muzzin.

Obviously cap is a bit of an issue but Klingberg’s cap hit should be rather easy to figure out if the team really wants him. It’s what the price would be to acquire him that might make it tough for some.

That’s some tho. Taxi squad now will help if people get healthy. I just haven’t followed the injury designations for TOR this year so idk. But 4.25M is doable for any team.

Taxi squad doesn't help the cap. It's treated the same way as the AHL.

The benefit is having players on hand if needed, there's no financial benefit.

Exactly. But I’d imagine they’ll try their hardest to send him east unless the go full blow up. They’re still a solid team. So I’m not sure they want to just give up on the season but this makes it hard on the front office.

That front office is getting what they deserve. They should have traded Lindell before his NMC kicked in and they would have the money to sign Klingberg.

I don’t have the numbers but I think Klingberg would be fine in a “shutdown” role. He becomes the puck mover on that pair and would help the possession numbers.

He's pretty similar to Tyson Barrie, Leafs have been down that road before.

Again, really doubt they end up being the highest bidders. I'm sure other teams will have a lot of interest.

I am by no means saying Klingberg is a bad player, I think at that cap hit he is a TDL steal. The thing is Calgary DESPERATELY needs to upgrade their depth scoring at the TDL and would only consider looking for a top 4 dman if we had a major injury.

Anaheim's in playoff contention, why dont they add him?

Because they would have to sell a D to fit him in but I’m all for moving Shattenkirk out for Klingberg. Just wouldn’t fit the timeline for what ANA is doing.

It allowed them to waive Ritchie and will allow them to go with less than 23 rostered players easier. It does help.

A competitive team who wants an Offensive Dman

John Klingberg, reportedly desiring a trade, is an offensive defenceman with excellent puck skills who hasn't quite been his best self since Rick Bowness took over in Dallas. One of the higher-ceiling rentals out there. #TexasHockey pic.twitter.com/pI0naqlIF7

So not Toronto as they probs want a guy who is more defensive minded

Maybe Florida, if they have the cap room.

Something like:

To Florida: Klingberg (50% retained) and Holtby

To Dallas: Samoskevich, Hornqvist, Luostarinen, 2023 2nd

Samoskevich and 2023 2nd = Klingberg and Holtby

Taking Hornqvist’s control plus retention = Luostarinen

Are there any chances that he is trading immediately with extension? Although perhaps for Klingberg this makes little sense.

Hedman not having to drag Rutta along would be a massive upgrade and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up in TB. They’re always going for it.

Just because Hedman is significantly better doesn't mean he's dragging him. Rutta is a pretty good player (especially considering he never has a bad partner because Tampa's LD is stacked)

Hedman dragged shattenkirk to his contract with the ducks which is now proving to be a poor one. He’s doing the same with Rutta.

He becomes the puck mover on any pair he’s on. Holl and Muzzin aren’t that. I think he’d make a quality partner with Muzzin.

Taxi squad has nothing to do with waiving Ritchie.

Leafs have been carrying 21 man roster for majority of season.

Taxi squad is to have healthy players readily available. It has zero cap implications.

Florida has Weegar, Ekblad, Montour, and Gudas. Adding a 5 RHD probably doesn’t fit too well. I know Wegar and Montour can play the left but still.

I know what the taxi squad is. It now allows teams to have a healthy body with them with out the cap implications. Having that allows a team to roster less players which means less cap hit.

Having a taxi squad of players could have allowed TOR to feel waiving Ritchie was doable because they could send him down to the A but still have enough healthy bodies available in a time of need. I’m not saying that’s what happened for sure but I bet it was a factor.

Muzzin's a very good puck mover. And underrated offensively. His only weakness is he's slowing down a bit.

Leafs aren't putting a full out offensive dman on a shutdown pair vs Kucherov, McDavid, etc.

It literally had nothing to do with it. Leafs are over the cap if carrying a 22 man roster. They have 12 better forwards and 7 dmen that deserve NHL time.

Additional factor, he was very unlikely to get claimed because of his contract.

Not sure why you care so much about the Leafs being an option for Klingberg.

They are capped out, they had a Klingberg type two years ago (Barrie) and it really didn't work out.

Sure they want to probably upgrade Holl, but it won't be Klingberg.

You care so much about Klingberg being an option for TOR. I posted my opinion and you came running. He fits a TOR need at a reasonable cap hit.

You had him as an option for the Leafs.

I let you know why he doesn't make sense.

He makes plenty of sense. Which is why I chose them as a possible destination.

Yep you got me. Just a right handed hockey player so I pick TOR out of a hat.
