Miss Korea Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) EDIT: Despite a very successful NHL campaign in Sweden, there is one piece of bad news: John Klingberg seems to have... aggravated his injury on the long trip over there. Something seems to be very wrong with his health. For him to somehow get worse on a long flight and nothing else, my guess is that it's arthritis. His hips are completely messed up and although he looks useful on the powerplay, I guess it's obvious now that he's been fighting through some debilitating pain. His defence has gone from worst in the league to... even worse. But if he's really fighting through injury, it's hard to be an asshole about it now. If this is truly the end for John Klingberg, he will be remembered for one of the NHL's biggest fumbled bags. He chose not to sign long-term with Dallas two years ago. He was offered $56 million over 8 years but his agent suggested he turn it down. Everything has gone downhill since. In relation to the Canucks, this is going to make the Leafs even more desperate for a right-side defenceman, exactly what we are looking for.

I tell myself it is hard not to be cynical, due to past evidence, but man I don't like thinking the worst of things-at least to start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he could have more than doubled that if he didn’t get greedy. Them’s the breaks. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, yeah it cynical, but if I had been a detective, I would have said, I don't believe coincidence... Now, I'm not a detective, and coincidence do happen, but for Leafs, it is a very convenient time, he gets this maybe career ending injury... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Dude really fumbled the bag in Dallas, him playing through pain would explain some of his level of play though He's never been great defensively but I don't remember him being this bad either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I’ll throw my name into the skeptical hat too. Weird coincidence. If it’s true though, I hope it serves as a wake up call to Petey to sign the longest / biggest deal offered. You never know about your long term health in this league.
