Turning A Corner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Note the repeated use of the phrase "career-ending." When you look at the guys who CapFriendly's expansion-draft software list with the youngsters that are exempt, you can see that the type of injury involved is one that guarantees virtually a 99% or better chance that the player will never return to the ice. (Gaborik, Hossa, Kesler, etc.). If there is any doubt about Klefbom's ability to play in 2021-2022, then the League won't make him exempt from the expansion draft.
Shame on you for stiffing my fellow Badger $25,000. He's so good, he might even be a Calder Trophy contender!</div></div>
I want to point out - in the sake of taking the "legalese" approach Edmonton would plead with the league:
"<strong>or</strong> who otherwise have been confirmed to have a career-threatening injury".
The case doesn't necessarily need to be career-threatening, even if Klefbom's actually is. Surgery can't cure arthritis, and there is still a chance he retires due to his bum shoulder.
Prorating the season, just as the league did in determining if Edmonton owed Calgary a 3rd round pick, indicates that Klefbom would have met the 60-game requirement had the league played a full season or anything north of the current 56-game season we were fortunate enough to get.
Given that he's only recently been scheduled for surgery (I believe its near the end of the month), it's guaranteed that Klefbom misses training camp outright, possibly the first half of next season, should he even be fit to continue his career. The recovery time is cited as a 6-month minimum, which puts his best-case scenario for being cleared for contact at the start of the season. It becomes a matter of conditioning then, as he'll have missed over a calendar year's worth of proper training and icetime.
The league's own history of decision making warrants that Klefbom be exempt from expansion. There is no certainty he plays again, and if he does, the earliest it likely happens is November next season.
Oilers fans are naturally pessimistic, as the league has an observable history of finding ways to screw us over (changing draft lottery rules, owing the Sharks and Bruins picks for fired coaches/GMs, owing the Flames a pick for the Lucic-Neal swap, RNH and McDavid's Calder snubs, it's a lengthy list if you dig into it, these are just the modern examples). My expectation is that Klefbom will remain eligible because it's the dumbest of the available options but Seattle won't select him given the risk involved.
