Yeah this could end up working out for the Oilers but seems like a strange risk to take when you don't have to.

Klefbom was 5th in defensive zone starts and 2nd in offensive zone starts for the Oilers.

You guys are absolutely brutal when it comes to anything Oilers. Completely unable to acknowledge a good move.

I actually thought this thread was pretty mild for a CP Oilers thread. There's a bit of actual discussion

Bit of a strange deal. Has potential to pay off but also has potential to really back fire. That Brodie contract looks really good compared to this.

Sure, because Brodie >>> Klefbom
Howeve, I wish we had Brodie on a 7 year deal.

This isn't a good move. It has the possibility to be a good move. 7 years is a big risk and the money isn't low enough to justify 7 years. Bad move.

I do as well but Brodie and his agent probably didn't want that. Set him up for a huge pay day once this deal ends.

Now now now johnnyskittles, how is that a good move? It COULD end up being one if Klefbom progresses, however surely you can understand why myself and others are second guessing a guy that has only played 77 games in the NHL getting paid only 500K less than Brodie and Josi...

this is a weird deal for pc to sign because i'm guessing he hasn't really seen him play that much, and their coach doesn't have much input on him, plus they fired all their scouts over this off season. so why would he sign him for 7 years without even watching him play... treliving waited half a season before signing brodie and even longer before extending hartley

Don't know what to say that hasn't already been repeated. Basically could have the potential to be a bargain, maybe even a huge one - but it's still very, very questionable and I'd argue incredibly dumb. He hasn't even played 82 games and you give him 7 years and circa 30 million.
Under the new GM he's played exactly 0 games and this is the money thrown at him. Always given never earned.
I like Klefbom. I'd take him as our #6 dman. This was dumb though and could very potentially backfire on the Oilers in a couple years.

Brodie is under contract until he is 29-years old. One year older than Klefbom will be when his seven year deal ends.

This brings up another great comparison. Let's look at Brodie vs Klefbom, post ELCs.
Brodie:
2 x $2.125
5 x $4.65
= 7 x $3.929 Total $27.5M
Klefbom
7 x $4.167 Total $29.169M
Yes folks, Klefbom is being paid almost $2M more than Brodie for their 7 post-ELC years.
GUARANTEED.
Despite the fact that he has so far done nothing.

To further explain the Brodie vs Klefbom comparison, here are their numbers for their first 3 years:
Brodie: 104 Games, 4G, 24A, 28P
Klefbom: 77 Games, 3G, 20A, 23P
Brodie signed a 2 x $2.125M deal (that is what SHOULD happen)
Then, Brodie's game absolutely soared and he became a top pairing Dman (best case scenario) so he got a 5 x $4.65M deal.
Total value over 7 years of $27.5M
Oilers HOPE Klefbom becomes half the player Brodie is. And he is already being paid more.
