Dallas: "I can't believe they took Klingberg; see if they'll take Hakanpaa."

Why would Dallas care? They were both FA's.

Also Dallas didn't let Klinger go to FA cuz of any worries about his physical condition or play, he was just too expensive. His play was regressing, but not by a huge margin and it was during a very Klinger-style unfriendly Bones term. It wasn't until he went to the Ducks that he became bad, and he didn't break until he went to Toronto.

@@Zharghar08 Bad defensively and hard to watch without frustration a lot of times. Klinger and his agent turned down 8 years, at roughly 7 million a year, with the Stars. Then fired his agent and took a year with the Ducks after no one wanted to give him a longterm/expensive contract. Good riddance.

That was my point...Stars were willing to keep him because they valued his strengths that much over his weaknesses still, but he/his agent got greedy. It wasn't till the next season in Anaheim where his play regressed to a point where it was surprising that anyone wanted to take a flyer on him. Toronto gambled and were rewarded with his body breaking. Classic Leafs.

@korbendallas7181 Nobody seems to want to play in their prime here. Kinda weird. As far as I'm concerned players should go where the team wants...unless you reach the level of a Crosby where you earned those demands.
I wonder if even if Hakanpaa sits out for a bit and the Leafs bring back Klingberg on league min. If Murray came back then Klingberg possibly could

It's hilarious to think we know what goes on behind the scenes. Anything to hate on the team. We aren't doctors, we aren't gms, we are not the player. I read a Dallas reporter state Haankanpa was supposed to start in the finals if they made it through.

Would the contract not have a medical clause in it? That if he's not medically cleared, the contract is void

Throw him on LTIR. Possible addition when there’s no cap for playoffs.
I'd be more worried about the Tanev contract coming back to bite Toronto in a year or two
Of course they should. Signing an injury prone player is a classic Toronto move 😅😅😅 So much winning 😅😅😅😅😅
lol sounds about right for the leafs 😂😂😂😂
I’ve had cartilage replacement in my knee. Almost as good as it was before the injury.
Im a nobody...Ive got aftermarket tendons in my severed finger and my knee. Physio is the most exquisitely painful process you could ever imagine
Singh you can take your costume off its not Halloween yet.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Fake sellout.🙏
Honestly the leafs may have signed him just to put him on ltir and give give him the best medical help there is
Steve Simmons is a trash reporter. Take what he says with a grain of salt.
Who? 😅😅😅. The guy is useless anyway. Same old leafs as always. They'll never win a Stanley cup ever
Who cares, hakanpaa is a low ridk high reward signing, if he can play we will get an amazing defender for cheap if he cant his 1.5m contract goes to our long term injury and we look to sign or trade for a new defender or opens a spot for a young guy to come in
Talking in circles.
