That's a big commitment for someone who has only played 77 NHL games.

so one full NHL season can get you a 7 year deal in Edmonton. Can't even say I'm surprised.

I like Klefbom but that's a big commitment for a player who hasn't even really solidified himself as an NHL defenceman (let alone a top 4 defenceman.) Will be curious to see the dollar figures.

If it's cheap then could end up being a steal.

Don't know why anybody thought the "new management" was going to change anything. Unless it's for 7 years at 1m per, what a huge gamble.

This is the Oilers version of a bridge contract. "Show us what you can do and we'll give you 8 more years"

Guessing the AAV is around Adam Larsson level.
Which FWIW, could be okay.

Deals like this deserve to blow up in their faces.
So irresponsible.

If 6x6 was the old standard, this has to be a 7x7.

well that'd be a horrible deal. Klingberg got 7 x 4.25m last season and he has been way better than Klefbom IMO. Hamonic got 7 x 3.87m the year before that. No way Klefbom should earn as much as those two.

Seriously? Depending of the dollars it could work out to be a steal but how many young defensemen have looked all-world in their rookie year (which I can't even say Klefbom did in his 77 games) and gone on to struggle? The Stars did sign John Klingberg to a similar term after fewer games so it's not unheard of but at least he has shown he can bring high level offense.
Maybe I just don't watch the Oil close enough but this just seems like more craziness and blind hope for their "special" young players that was supposedly left behind with the previous regime.

Hate to admit it, but Oilers got themselves a fair deal. Klefbom's agent must be dumb to take that much term during prime earning years.
