Provost Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have been talking about this for a few months as a possibility, so it wouldn’t be surprising to me at all. OEL and he are friends. There is a story I read about OEL pranking him by filling his entire hotel room with balloons. Also we have the Swedish mafia in Allvin and the Sedins to make a pitch. The guy is good, really good. He and OEL would be a pair that can drive a crap ton of offence from the back end. They play defence like Hughes does… by having the puck on their sticks and not the opposition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuRaku Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 How's he an upgrade over Myers?? Klingberg used to be great but can't produce much offensively anymore!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual it depends on term. People complain about Myers. Klingberg for an extra 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 4x5 is all he’s worth IMO I know he’s going to get more but that’s all he’s worth to this Canucks team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Not verified, literally retweets other sources, and his own original tweets have nothing to do with hockey. Likely just another hockey twitter wanna be personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Doesn't bring anything that Myers doesn't. I can't see what value we'd have trading Myers and signing Klingberg. Maybe he has insane chemistry with Hughes or OEL but I dunno. Just seems like a sideway move at best. And that's assuming he signs for 6m per. He could probably make much more somewhere else. If he'd take somewhere around 5-6m it'd be a nice addition. Maybe. We are 3m over the cap, meaning we'd not only need to move Myers, we'd also need to move at least one of Pearson/Garland/Miller. That's a lot of cap out, not sure teams are lining up for Myers. Miller deal if it was gonna get done probably would've been done already. Garland I like, it'd be sad to see him go just to bring in an offensive minded D-man and not a defensive minded one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 He’s a good player but not sure the fit. Him and Hughes would be able to play keep away in the o-zone but I would worry if they got stuck in the d-zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers may have the occasional brain fart, but he's nowhere near as bad in his own zone. I simply have zero tolerance for a defenceman who can't play defence. Klingberg can go to a team where being a defensive liability is acceptable such as Edmonton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubrick Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 If there’s a chance of swinging Miller + Myers to NJD for Severson + picks, then signing Klingberg I could get behind that. But the term with Klingberg would be the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Klingberg fits on a team that needs a PP QB, not on a team that already has Quinn Hughes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 if this is real. Which I’m living in fantasy land these days and if Johnny hockey could go to Columbus it’s not out of the realm of possibility. The only way i see this working is if OEL is getting moved. How else could it work? there were rumours that the Canucks were pursuing trades for garland and OEL by insiders over miller and Myers who everyone thought. klingberg is gonna get 6.5-8 million x 5-7 years taking him to 34-36 years old. I mean 3-4 of those years should be pretty good and 34-36 though who knows maybe he still plays relatively well. But how much are we better with him over OEL? Unless other moves were to come or they were to acquire a LHD in a trade after. Head spinning LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanSeanBean Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 If we find some good trades for our forwards, I'd totally down for this. I'd the Canucks could add him and somehow get Marino from Pits, this teams defense could look entirely different next year. That being said, it contradicts what they have been saying all along. JR said today that they didn't like what they saw in the FA for defensemen and would need to be looking for trades to rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
