The vision of "the ultimate John Klingberg" is clearest in the mind of John Klingberg.
The Stars' leading minute man is eighth in the NHL in points by defensemen since he entered the league three years ago, so he's already proven his offensive prowess. However, Klingberg believes that he can be a great defensive defenseman as well and that the new coaching staff in Dallas will help him become that.
"It's definitely my goal to play in all situations," said Klingberg, who led the Stars in time on ice at 23:21 last season despite averaging just 13 seconds per game on the penalty kill.
