John Klingberg signed a one-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers on a pro-rated $1 million contract with a $ 350,000 signing bonus.

The 32-year-old was in the 2020 playoff bubble with the Dallas Stars when they were two games from winning the Stanley Cup .

Klingberg was the Stars ’ best player in that magical playoff run until problems with both hips required hip resurfacing in late 2023 .

The right-shot defenceman was skating last April and May , then harder in August , before he graduated to practicing with the OHL junior Brampton Steelheads .

Edmonton Oilers assistant coach, and NHL Hall of Famer , Paul Coffey is tickled to have John Klingberg signed by the Oilers .

“You can’t teach talent, you can work with it and I’m looking forward to doing that,” said Coffey .

Coffey compared Klingberg to Sergei Zubov , comparing him to Larry Murphy .
