Oscar Klefbom is retiring from the NHL
Jim Matheson: 31-year-old defenseman Oscar Klefbom is retiring from the NHL. He last played four years ago due to shoulder problems. In his final season of 2019-20, he averaged about 25.5 minutes.
TSN: Klefbom via Google Translate from the Hockey Sverige interview.
“It is as it is. I wasn't done with hockey as a sport. But now it's over. I am very happy with my work. I'm just thankful that I got the chance to play as many games as I did – even though it was an injury. I gained a lot of trust, I got to take part in a wonderful journey.
“There are really two sides to the financial framework – because although I am grateful, I would have liked to be here today. In the snow. As a player.”
DFO Fantasy: Klefbom played seven seasons with the Oilers, most recently in the 2019-20 season.
In 378 career games, he scored 34 goals and added 122 assists.

It's no big deal that Jani Hakanpaa was wearing a Dallas Stars jersey
Nation of Leaves: Jani Hakanpaa was at a charity golf event and was wearing a Dallas Stars jersey and not a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey.
Nick Alberga: “Hakanpaa was at this charity golf tournament in his home country of Finland, and he was rocking a Dallas Stars jersey, like, what's going on here?
Manager: “Old school again?
Jay Rosehill: “Yeah, I don't know, it's not a big deal, but for me, it doesn't, it doesn't give anything. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't change anything. He doesn't offer anything new because he hasn't officially signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs. We know that.
As for what's going on with it, it's still up in the air. If you haven't signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs, you won't be wearing their jersey at the charity event. You'll wear your latest teams jersey, which makes sense. I don't think it takes anything or collects any additional information in that case.
I would be interested, however, to know if he was golfing for charity. You have a knee so bad that you can't even get the doctors to determine if it can be removed or not. See, we'll see, I'll find out if he was really playing or not because I can lead to a certain health, health determination where he is. But, again, no, no new news. If you ask me, I was judged by that picture.
Jani Hakanpää was spotted wearing a Dallas Stars jersey…
Will we see the Finnish Defender in blue-and-white this season?@thegoldenmuzzy | @Jay_D_Rosehill
