Brad Treliving on whether John Klingberg’s season-ending surgery heightens interest in trading for a defenseman: “It’s no secret we’ve investigated the market and what those costs would be”

Treliving: John is going to have a surgical procedure. They are finalizing the day, but it looks like it will be at the end of the month of December. That will effectively end his season.

I will have a better idea as we finalize what is going to get done and ultimately, once they have the procedure, what the timeline is going to be. It is safe to say it will be in the five or six-month range.

Once it was clear and it was definitive in terms of the path, we wanted to make sure we shared it with you.
