Edmonton was reported to be the front-runner to sign Klingberg, so this decision does not come as a massive shock.
Klingberg had double hip resurfacing surgery just over a year ago in the fall of 2023. He last played on Nov. 11, 2024 for the Toronto Maple Leafs, where played 14 total games after splitting the 2022-23 season in Anaheim and Minnesota.
