- John Klingberg gambled in parting ways with agent Peter Wallen to sign on with powerhouse Newport Sports Management last week. Now the UFA defender will have to settle on the rare one-year contract (rare for a marquee free agent anyway) in hopes of re-establishing his market value so he can do it all over again next summer. The Anaheim Ducks get the benefit of at least part of a season of Klingberg’s services without committing to an enigmatic player bound for productive decline in coming years.
