”It feels good, it's a really strong future team, I hope to be able to get there with a little experience and make the team and myself better”, writes Klingberg in a text message to Aftonbladet.
After eight seasons in Dallas, 2014–2022, the Gothenburger has moved around a lot in the North American hockey league. Klingberg played the past season in Stanley Cup finalist Edmonton and now gets his fifth club address since he left Dallas.
The contract with San Jose is worth around 40 million kronor, according to Aftonbladet.
John Klingberg was not the only Swede who changed clubs when the NHL's so-called free agency opened on Tuesday.
Also, Viktor Arvidsson leaves Edmonton (for Boston). Anton Forsberg exchanges Ottawa for Los Angeles, while Isac Lundeström instead has done his thing in California (Anaheim to Columbus). Notable is also that Pontus Holmberg moves from Toronto to Tampa.
