It's arthritis, there is no cure. This isn't a torn ligament you stitch up and in a few months and some rehab all his good. It's inflamation in the shoulder that flares up when you use it, especially when you put trauma on it like a body check which is a standard play in hockey. It's very likely that is you play hockey and you slam your shoulder into someone else or the boards 100's of times a season, chances are it will come back. You won't know when but it will most likely come back. So regardless of knowing the surgery better than other team, you'd be protecting a guy with a known medical condition who at any time could be out.
So I think it would be completely foolish of the Oilers unless they know 100% he's cure which isn't the case, to protect a guy when you have no clue how long he can play. The point is to ice the best team. In order to do that, guys have to actually be on the ice. So use whatever excuse you want about the Oilers management being incompetent or the media lying or excuses for Klefbom because you like the player but he's got a known, incurable medical condition. This isn't from the Oilers telling us, it's from his own mouth. If he was not an Oiler, just a UFA and the Oilers announced they signed him for 2 years a 4.1666 mill per year with his known medical condition and all the uncertainty of if he can even play ever, I highly doubt most people in here would celebrating it as a good signing.

Maybe you should go do some research on arthritis before you post about this again.
Yes, it can't be cured. It CAN be treated.
I have some arthritis in my hip. I had a steroid injection earlier this summer. I feel great and have no ill-effects of the arthritis for now. It was not debilitating before - more like a constant tightness and ache, but now it's not even that. It can be treated, and it's not like a battered ligament where it's more likely to get ripped or torn. It's just pain, so if you can manage that, then you're fine to do just about anything you were doing before without risk.
There's more to it than just arthritis with Klefbom - clearly his surgery was more invasive than the needle I got. However, if it's just managing arthritis, that can absolutely be done.
As for teams taking on a player coming off injury - it depends if you've done your homework on that player. There are times when that risk is ABSOLUTELY worth taking. Teemu Selanne looked done from his knee injuries before the 2004-05 lockout. Turns out he was still a pretty good signing after he'd recovered. Considering that if someone IS injured you can replace their whole salary under the cap, it's not a bad bet.
If you're the Kraken, and you are going to pick 29 players, you know you have at least 6 who aren't roster guys, so you can afford to make some riskier picks - taking the prospects who've plateaued, or someone like Klefbom who if he returns would be on their first pairing. I think there's an excellent chance they take him if he's available. That is fine if the Oilers know that he's out forever. But management should be skewered if they blow it there.

Durolane seems to work well for my knee. It is not really true that you can do whatever you want without fear of making it worse. For knees the cartilage tends to tear more easily. My surgeon: you CAN play soccer again, but I wouldn't advise it (this was after surgery for a 4th degree tear and seeing that arthritis was causing "orange-peeling" of the cartilage surface). I can usually go about 9-10 months before I feel the need for another injection.
I may soon have to start getting Durolane in my other knee due to "knee-gap" arthritis.
Mucho dinero - sigh...
Now, for shoulder arthritis (not knowing Klefbom's exact condition) there may be the possibility for cartilage replacement surgery. My surgeon is one of the pioneers of this procedure, though the last time I asked about it he said there was very little donor cartilage available in the pandemic and even for about a year prior to that.
