If we aren’t retaining on Klingberg I guess that works

Just going based off rumors, don’t know why you wouldn’t retain him but I’ve heard people talking about him being moved.

Doubt avs do that

He was signed knowing he is going to be dealt that the deadline, it is no secret

It’s pretty much also guaranteed that he will be 50% retained in the trade the should get us another 1st rounder

Klingberg is such a terrible idea for buffalo

I'm frequently at odds -- often tooth-and-nail -- with littlejerryseinfeld, but honesty (or pretensions thereat) impels me to second his opinion, strongly. The major rationalization for acquiring Klingberg is that he would improve the power play for a team having a problem in that aspect of the game, like Nashville (29th in the league), Carolina (surprisingly, 26th), or Calgary (23rd), all of whom are in the bottom third of the league in power-play percentage. In contrast, Buffalo is 6th, and 4th in net PP%. As much as I would love to have that Philly pick for him (and would accept that offer, for sure), Klingberg is a BAD fit for the Sabres.

Half decent trade for the Sharks. But, I don't see him signing for any less than 8.5M
