Contrary to popular opinion on here, our back end isn’t as bad as people say. Sure when nurse or bouchard gaff they don’t mess around and usually end up on the highlight reels, but overall their game is pretty good. Ekholm and kulak are solid, and emberson is coming along nicely. The 6th and 7th spots are what the team is attempting to fill here. That said we definitely could use another top 4 guy.

Pairing him with a defensively sound left-handed partner would best fit him. Nurse, Ekholm, or Brett Kulak would all be great partners for Klingberg. Nurse might be the best fit out of all three of them.

At this price, the puck-moving Klingberg could be a win-win, with Klingberg slotting in next to Darnell Nurse on the second pairing, providing a steady puck-mover to complement Nurse’s speed and aggression. This would boost Edmonton’s chances of winning the Cup, not to mention Klingberg’s value as a free agent this summer.

Is that enough?
