Sign Klingberg though I’d be ok to make a deal involving Andersson or Hanifin to get a forward

Apparently hes no good. Im not a advanced stats guy but Dom on the Athletic had this to say about Klingberg.
Quote:
In Klingberg’s case, his game has fallen off hard in recent seasons with last year’s 0.9-win pace representing a new low. That’s just under top pair territory and explains his low projected GSVA of just 1.2 wins. At that rate, he’s worth just $5.6 million which is well short of the projected $6.9 million he’s expected to net over seven years. Not nice.
The problem with Klingberg is his defense and last year was especially bad in that regard. The Stars allowed 0.35 more expected goals against per 60 with Klingberg on the ice compared to off the ice last season and a lot of those ended up in the back of the net. For three straight seasons, the Stars have performed better with Klingberg on the bench and he’s been outscored every season. His actual expected goals percentage is above 50 percent each year, but only modestly so. Klingberg’s value has tanked every year as a result and he’s a long way removed from his peak. His trajectory is a straight slide down where living up to a near $7 million deal gets tougher and tougher each year. His comparables being a number of past-their-prime sheltered power play quarterbacks is especially worrying. The presence of Keith Yandle as the top comp screams buyer beware.
