Klingberg is a depth pairing defenseman who’s injured, not a healthy future HHOFer playing in front of a hometown crowd one last time.

He was measurably one of the WORST defensive defenders in the league last year and has been again this year. Keefe isn’t benching Klingberg to be a dick (a la Mike the loser Babcock) he’s benching him because that gives their team a better chance to win.

He is also injured.

he’s been playing injured and has consistently been awful defensively

He’s also playing like shit and injured…no need to turn this into a baseless witch hunt

Let me see your phone Klingberg

It’s due to the injury I assume. As bad as he’s been this year, Simon Benoit is no upgrade in the 6 spot.

Sucks to suck.

Have you at all watched him play this season? He’s been absolutely atrocious (he’s 0th percentile for EV defence in a few models). Also hasn’t scored any goals, which you should be doing if you’re not gonna contribute defensively

Guy hasn’t even earned a place on the marlies let alone the leafs

I presume this man has a wife, children and parents whom love and care about him. Reading this kind off daily rubbish is hurtful and benifits no one.

He’s missed 3 straight practices with injury, so I don’t think there’s much to read into here.

He’s gotta be injured otherwise you’d think he’d get at least a few minutes of ice time as a courtesy

Not at all the same thing.
