John Klinberg has made his decision on a new home for 2024-25. The marquee veteran defenseman has signed with the Edmonton Oilers on Friday per NHL insider Darren Dreger. "John Klingberg heading to the Oilers," Dreger said on X. Edmonton was reported to be the front-runner to sign Klingberg, so this decision does not come as a massive shock.

Edmonton Oilers made news by signing veteran defenceman John Klingberg to a one-year, $1 million pro-rated contract. Klingberg last suited up for a game in November 2023 with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Edmonton Oilers potentially bolstered their defense Friday by signing free agent John Klingberg, a low-risk move that could amount to adding a top-four blueliner. Per Darren Dreger, the contract terms are a $1 million prorated salary and $350,000 in potential bonuses.
