I think without a doubt they offer him a contract. Worst case scenario is that his play drops off and he either gets sent down or claimed. Letting him walk for nothing just doesn't seem practical to me.
Klapka was a project when he was signed and so far it is looking good. He improved every year so far, so there is no reason why we shouldn't see if that continues. Zero risk, potential decent reward.
Plus, you can tell when Huska, Conroy, and other players talk about him, he's well liked on the team.
