We don’t know who will be available in 2023. Rare to have top players get to ufa and if you do, you massively overpay, and only if player wants to come here.
Get klingberg if it makes sense now and he wants to come here. Emphasis on the want to be here. Don’t want players that will bolt at first opportunity. Hopefully our Swedish mafia is enough of a pull to make him come here and stay a while.

The problem with Klingberg is he is a very good puck moving defenseman but he also just might be the worst d man in his own zone in the NHL. I think that might be a main reason why GM's are hesitant, he helps your PP for sure but he is going to bleed goals if he is in your top 4. I would pass. He would be in the fanbase doghouse and Sutter's too pretty fast imo.
