John Klingberg leaves the Oilers, signs a new deal in free agency

Veteran defenseman John Klingberg has reportedly signed a one year contract with the San Jose Sharks. Incidentally, the Sharks are also signing free agent forward Philipp Kurashev.

This is the 6th NHL team in six seasons for the 32 year old Klingberg, who has struggled to stay healthy since leaving the Dallas Stars in 2022.

He managed just 11 regular season games with the Edmonton Oilers and a further 19 playoff games this past season.
