Lebrun reveals the price to land John Klingberg
John Klingberg wants out of Dallas and the Stars want him out ASAP. With an expiring contract and no trade protection, he'll be a hot commodity on the trade market.
NHL insider Pierre LeBrun reveals the latest in his recent piece for The Athletic.
"The biggest return, one assumes, should be for Klingberg, who has asked for a trade. His offensive acumen alone dictates that. The Stars still have lots of games to be played and could still play their way into playoff contention between now and March 21.
''But if not, and if they're selling on Klingberg (which I think they will), the return package could be a first-round pick, a prospect plus maybe an additional pick. Just based on Savard fetching a first- and a third-round pick last year, it's a reasonable ask for Dallas since Klingberg is a higher-level player.''
''If Klingberg signs an extension with his new team as part of a trade, then the return package would be even better for the Stars."
A 1st round pick, prospect and another draft pick for the 29 year old?
