Klingberg has been average, at best, this season in Anaheim. Having said that he remains a target at the deadline for a team that is looking for an extra layer on their power-play. His 5vs5 defensive detail ranges wildly. He has looked disinterested at times. There is a ton of risk, in my opinion, in acquiring Klingberg. The team that brings him in should expect a bottom pairing 'D' at even strength., a potential bump on their power-play. Klingberg will not PK.
