OSCAR KLEFBOM - Defenseman - 26 - $4.16MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2023-2024
LAST UPDATED 6/23/19
One of the few bright spots on a perennially weak Edmonton blue line, Klefbom has really established himself as the team's best defenseman. He has great size, a great defensive mind, and great mobility which allows him to be in the right spot at the right time in his own end. He's got genuine shut down ability and can be counted on to play heavy minutes. Isolated impact metrics point to Klefbom being a large factor to his team's ability to keep the puck out of the net, and if Klefbom can stay healthy, improve his offense to a point where he's consistently producing ~40 points a year, and limit some of the mistakes that come from his sometimes too aggressive play, Klefbom has an outside chance at becoming a #1 defenseman, but at this point, he's more of a very good #3.
