The Toronto Maple Leafs signed John Klingberg in the off-season for one year and a $4 million dollar cap hit.
The Toronto Maple Leafs already have an entire blue-line’s worth of decent to great puck moving defenseman, and lack physicality, so the signing was a surprise.
I am of the opinion that that isn’t really too big of a deal, and that as long as you add good players, balance is overrated. Sure, an NHL team probably does need to be more physical than the Leafs currently are, but a good player is always preferable to a good fit.
