We all know that the Ducks are going to be sellers at the deadline. The team has a few pieces and one of those is a certain Swedish defenceman. Today&#8217;s NHL rumours takes a look at how likely a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/klingjo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-01-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Klingberg<\/a> trade will be.<\/p>\n<p>All NHL rumours come from the original source and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<h3>NHL Rumours<\/h3>\n<h4>John Klingberg Trade Possibilities<\/h4>\n<p>Rumour: The Daily FaceOff&#8217;s Frank Seravalli released his list of trade targets and the former <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/stars\/\" target=\"_self\">Dallas Stars<\/a> blueliner is on that list. Klingberg was hoping for a long-term deal in the off-season. However, he could only muster a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2022\/07\/29\/john-klingberg-signs-new-team\/\" target=\"_self\">one-year, $7 million deal<\/a> with the also-ran Ducks.

He wanted to use the one-year deal he signed in the summer as a chance to cash in. However, things haven&#8217;t gone to plan this season for Klingberg. The big-money deal for the veteran blueliner may not be as large as he thought it was going to be.<\/p>\n<h3>What a John Klingberg Trade Means<\/h3>\n<p>Despite his struggles, Klingberg is still going to be a valued addition at the deadline. He can still score goals and quarterback the power play when he&#8217;s on his game. Signing the short-term deal was the right move for both sides. Anaheim can flip Klingberg to a contender and the defender can try and parlay that into a decent contract.<\/p>\n<p>Klingberg&#8217;s full no-trade clause expired at the turn of the year, so his tenure in Orange County, California isn&#8217;t likely to be a long one. The Ducks will try and get something tangible for him. Klingberg can try to revive his game and maybe get his hands on a Stanley Cup ring. He could also be a good consolation prize if <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2023\/01\/12\/rumours-sharks-trade-erik-karlsson\/\" target=\"_self\">someone misses out<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/karlser01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-01-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erik Karlsson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"fp0KWeWOSh9_dwSLocrwZA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1449650024\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'fp0KWeWOSh9_dwSLocrwZA',sig:'onhg_VePrH2f_grkUPrVJgjuYx3gf5wOlVjj1HaSXJo=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1449650024',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time for a second helping of NHL rumours to start your work week.
