He's got reoccurring shoulder problems. He missed time before the stoppage to get it cleaned up. Whatever that means. Then he had 4.5 months to heal, get rehab, get opinions, do whatever he was supposed to do with the shoulder. He comes back for 3 weeks in August and supposedly wasn't 100% after 4.5 months. He was awful in the play in. Now another 2 months have gone by, so more time to heal, rehab, get assessed and he is still thinking about what to do.
So in 7 months, he's played 3 weeks of hockey. How much more time does a person need to think about what do to? If in almost 7 months, it's still not good, chances are you need surgery. I get that no one wants surgery but at what point does a person need to make a decision so you can let your employer know what is happening so they can make the appropriate moves? So in my opinion, he either needs to decide to get surgery or shut himself down long term to try the healing and rehab route. Either way, make a decision. It's been 7.5 months.
|
I assume there's more going on that we aren't party to here, and that there have likely been discussions between Klefbom's camp, the Oilers and possibly multiple doctors.
This is someone's health we are talking about, so it makes sense that they're being diligent. I'm sure he's not waiting just to anger you and screw over the team you love. There are probably doctors involved who are telling everyone what the pros and cons are of the different options.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that this is just a game, and these are actually real people not toy monkeys dancing for your pleasure, but it's good to step back and appreciate that some times.
|
I get that. I am hopeful that he has told the team he won't be available whether that means he rests and rehabs for another 6 months or gets surgery which means he will forsure be out the year. At least make a call on your availability. The last thing I want to see happen is he takes month or 2 months to think about it, then comes back and says I am done for the year.
Yes this is a game but they are also a business and just like every other business, an employee can't just leave their employer twisting in the wind with unknowns.
|
Actually, I'm pretty sure if you need surgery or other serious medical treatments, you still get to pick when you have it...pretty much no matter what industry you work in.
|
You sure do have the right to pick when you want it but you have to let your employer know your plans. You can't just say "I'll let you know when I feel like it." I don't know what you do for a living so maybe you are self employed so you can do what you want but I am in management in my company and at some point an employ has to let the employer know something about their plans if there is a health problem. You can't expect an employer to just wait for as long as a employee feels like.
Like I said and I sure it's the case, hopefully they know way more about what's going on than we do and they can make moves to accommodate whatever is happening.
Edit:
At 10:35 Dreger has reported that Klefbom is getting treatment in Sweden and it sounds like surgery is likely but no time frame on when it will happen. But he will be out long term by the sounds of it. So if Dreger is reporting that, I assume the Oilers are well aware of the situation and are planning to not have him for the season. Which at the end of the day is all I want. Just for the team to be able to prepare properly.

100% Holland is in tune with it. He’s touched on it the last week, recognizing that he’ll have to find a way to fill the void, outside of solely internal. This isn’t Peter Chiarelli we’re dealing with anymore, though even he would have a sense of what the player is doing.
Can you essentially give Barrie Klefbom’s money over a 1-2 year contract? Barrie could fill the PP role Klef had while contributing to the minutes at 5v5. Not the worst option, but does Edmonton look attractive to Barrie?
|
With the cap and money being tight and tight for a few years, I do not think teams will be as willing to throw around money like they normally would on a guy like Barrie. Barrie is coming off what is seen as not a good year, given that it was in Toronto, he probably took more of a beating on his rep than he should have. This league pays for points. If he signed on the Oilers, he would slide into the #1 PP unit from this past season and a PP that set records. What better way to pad the old stats to set yourself up for one last fat contract than to sign with the Oilers for 2 years at say Klefbom money and have McDavid and Leon feeding him pucks. He could put up a couple of big point years, only be early 30's and hopefully the financial landscaped has changed by then so he gets on last big pay day.
Prediction. Barrie signs for 2 years for 4 mill, Stauffer keeps mentioning his name over and over again. Klefbom gets put on LTIR for the season, that frees up his money. This allows the Oilers to slow play Bouchard getting in. Because they have Bear and Barrie on the right side, that frees up Larsson to be moved for forward help. Benning gets signed for less than 2 mill. Russell and his 4 mill get moved out. They also sign a vet left shot to a short term deal. The Oilers defense for next season will be:
Nurse - Bear
Vet - Barrie
Jones - Benning
Lagesson/vet.
For the expansion draft. Jones proves he can slide into the top 4 full time. The Oilers and his suspect shoulder leave Klefbom exposed.
