Buying a limited John Klingberg jersey is a great idea, but before you do, there are some things you need to know. Whether you are buying your first or your fifth, you want to make sure you get the best deal.

Matthew Tkachuk

During his time with the Dallas Stars, John Klingberg was on the trade block. There were rumors he could be moved to the Vancouver Canucks. He was in a good position to sign a lucrative contract, but he never followed through.

This summer, Klingberg is an unrestricted free agent, and he is expected to leave the Stars. He could sign a one-year deal to play under head coach Pete DeBoer, and could then leave Dallas for another team in free agency. Alternatively, he could wait and see what happens, and if a team shows interest.

Klingberg is a 6’3″ two-way stud right-handed defenseman. He has 59 playoff games under his belt, and 35 points. He is also a close friend of Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

During his time with the Stars, Klingberg improved his game. He has been a star in Dallas, and was on the verge of a Stanley Cup final before the Flames knocked him out in the first round last season. He is a great defenseman, and could be a great fit for a team that wants a player who can score and play the right side.

There are several teams that are vying for his services. The Nashville Predators are in need of a top-four defenseman, and there is some cap space available. He could be traded for draft picks or prospects. He has a $5 million salary cap hit.

The Flames could trade Tkachuk for trade assets, which would give them a chance to reset their roster. They could also use Tkachuk to trade for a young player to fill a gap. This is a smart move, but it would also cast a shadow on the futures of key Flames players.

Esa Lindell

During his second NHL season, Esa Lindell has emerged as a top-pairing defenseman. He has earned more time on ice than any other Stars defenseman this season. He also has earned a spot in the alternate captain’s ring for home games.

Lindell was chosen in the third round of the 2012 NHL draft. He has also skated for Jokerit in the Finnish league. He has a thin frame and is listed at 6-foot-3. However, he has an offensive flair. He has 32 points in 82 games this season. He has also blocked 34 shots.

Klingberg was a product of Jokerit. He spent time in the Swedish lower league before moving to North America when he was 22. He then joined Jokerit’s under-20 team. He played for them in the 2011-12 season. After he was recalled, he had 40 points in 65 games.

Klingberg has become one of the favorites to win the Norris Trophy this season. In fact, he leads all Stars defensemen in scoring. He is also second in the league in ice time this season. The Stars will have more than $8 million in salary cap space for the next three seasons.

Klingberg’s chemistry with Lindell has become apparent. The two have become close friends and have developed a competitive edge. They have both gotten more comfortable with their public personalities. They have also found that they are able to communicate more effectively and confidently. Their bond has been a huge help in boosting their confidence, both on and off the ice.

The Stars have invested heavily in their blue line. They are paying nearly $17 million a year for defensemen. They have already made an addition in Ryan Suter, who was also selected in the third round of the 2014 draft.

Jamie Oleksiak

During a tough season for the Dallas Stars, Jamie Oleksiak was their key contributor on the blue line. Oleksiak was known for sticking up for teammates and making the right plays. He logged a career-high 88 blocked shots and had a minus-3 rating.

Oleksiak has indicated interest in re-signing with the Stars. The Stars have $15 million in salary cap space, but may not have enough to offer a full eight-year deal. They will need to find space for a new contract before the 2021-22 season.

Oleksiak is a heavy hitting defenseman with limited offence. He had 12 points in 78 career games last season, but was limited to just one goal. He has been a strong contributor to the Stars’ power play and will likely be part of the Stars’ second power play unit.

Klingberg is a stud offensive defenseman. He has been on Dallas’ top defensive pairing for years, and has been quarterback on the Stars’ best power play unit. He also played a vital role in Dallas’ defensive efforts, which were 15 percent stronger than league average.

In his career, Klingberg has averaged just 0.68 points per game, but he was also a top performer on Dallas’ five-on-five offense. He has played on two President’s Trophy-winning teams, and has played against a number of successful and failed backup goalies.

The Stars have not yet reached an agreement with Klingberg on a contract extension. If he chooses to re-sign with the Stars, he will likely be offered a three-to-five year bridge deal. If the market does not materialize, Klingberg may have to leave Dallas for a bigger, more lucrative contract elsewhere.

The Dallas Stars will need to find room to re-sign both Heiskanen and Oleksiak before the 2021-22 season. Heiskanen is a key member of the Stars’ defense corps, and Jim Nill must ensure Heiskanen is happy in Dallas.

Ryan Suter

Despite being 37 years old, Ryan Suter is one of the most accomplished and versatile defensemen in the game. In fact, he’s a member of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics Team USA.

While Suter is still a force on the blue line for the Wild, he showed a marked decline in ice time last season. His plus-minus rating was in negative territory for the first time in nearly a decade.

He averaged the least amount of time per game since he left Nashville. The coaching staff is trying to cut down on his mileage.

While Ryan Suter may not be a top-shelf fantasy hockey player, he has a good floor for production. He’s also a rock-solid defenseman with a good IQ.

He’s one of the three players from the 2003 seventh-overall draft class still active in the league. He’s been a key member of the blue line for the Predators and Dallas Stars. He’s also shown his playmaking abilities in the Olympics.

In addition, Suter’s contract is buyout friendly. That means he can pick a new team in free agency. That’s probably what Jim Nill was expecting. Whether or not he actually makes it through the season will probably be determined by his performance this season.

While Suter is a big name, he’s not a superstar. His contract does not have a signing bonus after the first year. It’s a good deal for a player of his caliber.

Klingberg may be the last player in Dallas to hit free agency. His contract is up for renewal next summer. However, it’s hard to say how long he will stick in Texas. He’s played on the Stars’ top defensive pairing for years.

Sergei Zubov

Whether you are a fan of the Stars or not, you will be familiar with Sergei Zubov. He is the franchise’s all-time leader in points. He has played 1,068 games for the Stars. He has also played in two Stanley Cups.

The Stars will be giving Zubov a special moment when they play Washington on Friday. He will have his number retired. He will join Bill Masterton, Jere Lehtinen, and Neal Broten. He will also be joined by former teammates.

Klingberg will be joining a number of former players, including Jamie Langenbrunner and Brett Hull. They are expected to attend the ceremony. There will also be a “Forever56 Green Carpet Show” on the ice.

Klingberg has already established himself as a legitimate top-four defenseman in the NHL. He uses his speed to handle the defensive zone, while using his vision and hands to help his team in the transition. He is a must-own player for the Stars this year.

The Stars are paying nearly $17 million for their defensemen this season. It’s a bit steep, but there are no other defensemen in the league with more value.

In his rookie season, Klingberg scored a goal and had 21 assists in 34 games. He has a speed and skating style that is similar to Ryan Murphy, Jacob Trouba, and Brad Maxwell.

Klingberg and Zubov are considered two of the top d-men in the NHL, but neither has won a Norris Trophy as the league’s best defenseman. Both are excellent power-play specialists, and they have proven to be trusted in their mid-30s.

However, there is a lot of room for improvement. This year, Klingberg has only produced one goal and one assist. He is also three goals short of Zubov’s career high in goals.
