Klingberg&rsquo;s contract includes a prorated base salary and a $1MM cap hit, with the potential to earn an additional $350K through performance incentives. The 32-year-old, who placed as high as sixth in Norris Trophy voting on two occasions early in his career, hasn&rsquo;t played for more than a year following season-ending hip resurfacing surgery with the Maple Leafs in December 2023.<\/p><p>Klingberg turned into an unrestricted free agent last summer after his one-year, $4.15MM contract with Toronto in 2023 expired following only 14 games. As a player who has participated in at least 400 NHL games and was on injured reserve for a minimum of 100 days during the last season, he qualifies to sign a one-year contract with performance incentives that may reduce the initial cap hit of the agreement.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">John Klingberg is signing a deal to join the Edmonton Oilers, per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FriedgeHNIC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@FriedgeHNIC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jEjtRHIude\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/jEjtRHIude<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sportsnet\/status\/1880324402899988570?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 17, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Similar to any contract that includes performance bonuses, According to Dreger, Klingberg&rsquo;s contract has a prorated base salary and cap hit of $1MM. He can receive an extra $350K in performance incentives. The Oilers quickly confirmed the signing.<\/p><p>Due to Evander Kane&rsquo;s ongoing recovery from several surgeries. His availability for the remaining regular season is uncertain after undergoing more knee surgery earlier this month, which requires an eight-week recovery time and interrupts his rehab from offseason abdominal surgery.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read:<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/multiple-teams-show-interest-in-chicago-blackhawks-seth-jones\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'> Multiple Teams Show Interest in Chicago Blackhawks Seth Jones<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>The left side of Edmonton, consisting of Mattias Ekholm, Darnell Nurse, and Brett Kulak, have each averaged over 20 minutes per game this season with solid possession metrics; however, depth righties Ty Emberson and Troy Stecher do not share the same success.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-prono\" class=\"trk-cta-img\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Image\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/e48da6fef5344aa5871b51fe32a9580a-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12908\"><\/a><\/figure><p>The Oilers required an additional player to add to their lineup on either their second pairing with Nurse or their third pairing with Kulak, and acquiring Klingberg provides them a much more offensively focused choice&mdash;though one that has considerable defensive flaws. Though he remains an effective power-play quarterback, having registered five assists in last season&rsquo;s injury-reduced campaign and averaging over 20 minutes per game throughout his 10 NHL seasons, his -60 rating from the 2021-22 to 2023-24 seasons ranks sixth-worst among defensemen. During the 2022-23 season, divided between the Ducks and Wild, he faced more expected goals per game at even strength (1.13) than any other qualified defenseman in the league.<\/p><p>Edmonton must have created a roster vacancy to officially sign Klingberg. This will probably result in center Noah Philp or defenseman Josh Brown being sent to AHL Bakersfield.<\/p><p>Klingberg is set to become a UFA again in a few months if this deal turns out to be a one-year agreement, as anticipated. This will be his third straight one-year agreement following a seven-year, $29.75MM contract with the Stars that ended in 2022.<\/p><p>Image Credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edmonton Oilers set sights on John Klingberg to strengthen their blue line, adding veteran skill and depth to the roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":13612,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[307,2732,52],"class_list":["post-13611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nhl","tag-edmonton-oilers","tag-john-klingberg","tag-nhl"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
