I am happy that it was successful for him personally but what does that mean exactly? He can work towards being back all he wants, doesn't mean it will happen. If he does come back, how will be be? Will he be back to his old self and able to play like he did for his 1 and only full season or will he's been normally which is pretty good for a while but eventually he will miss 15-20 games.
There are a TON of questions marks with this guy and unless they can get a 100% guarantee it's fixed forever, I wouldn't protect him even if he can play to some degree. I would not be willing and I think it would be foolish to lose a younger dman who you can have for maybe the next decade, all to protect a guy who sure he's good when totally healthy but all it will take is 1 bump the wrong way and he is probably retiring. It's one thing to get the shoulder fixed and be capable to live a normal life like most people do, it's another to be a pro hockey player getting rammed into the boards on that shoulder dozens of times a game. When Klefbom did his presser way back in the fall, he was all about life and wanting to just live without pain, be able to sleep at night without pain, hold a kid one day. Hockey was way down on the list. So if it was me and I know it would be hard to do but the first sign of pain or potential problems, I am done.
So unless you know 100% for certain, he's fixed forever, the risk at protecting him is too big.
|
Well he’s gone then. No surgery is guaranteed 100%.
Leave this to the medical staff and doctors. If Holland protects Klefbom it won’t be through uncertainty. Having the option of protecting Klefbom is a good thing.
|
I actually think it's not a good thing that there is the potential option to have to protect him. This isn't going to be a question of deciding as a team who you think is better now and in the future for your team, this is all about trying to guess if Klefbom will play, how well will he play and for how long. If they protect Klefbom and then lose one of Jones or Laggesson, based on what we have seen to date, it's highly likely that both Jones and Laggesson will be NHL dmen for the next maybe 10 years. They may not end up being as good as Klefbom when he was healthy but they both look like they can play for a long time.
Teams know what shoulder has had problems so it's a given guys will target it. Maybe not to hurt him but to try to get an advantage if any. Given all the trouble he has had with that shoulder, what's the likelihood that he won't play hesitant to some degree to protect it? He's human, how can he not. I would. Klefbom might play and be fine, he might play and be a shadow of himself, he might start camp, play a few preseason games, take a shot, feel something and decide he's done. He might play part of the season, with wear and tear on it every second night that is pretty normal, he might feel something, not want to chance it and call it done. So there is a very real chance the Oilers could end up losing 2 guys if they protect Klefbom.
