Here is a full quote of what CJ said during his appearance on today’s episode of Leafs Report. [It starts around the 44th minute](https://theathletic.com/podcast/2-the-leaf-report/?episode=224):
>*“The John Klingberg situation is tough. He has tried to play through his injury, it’s not to say he won’t continue to but obviously the results haven’t been good. He can’t move as well on the ice as he once did when he had his best seasons, he doesn’t have a lot of security in terms of just being on a one-year deal with Toronto. Apparently his issues were made even worse by being on a couple of long flights heading over to Sweden and back. So I don’t know where that one ends up. I think you have a player there that is very proud, he gave an emotional scrum while we were in Stockholm just talking about how he just so badly wants to play again and get to a spot where he can do that. I don’t know if he is going to be able to, to me that is the big question and depending if he can or can’t then I think the decision flows from there. If can’t, he is probably going to be on long-term injured reserve and might free up some cap space for the Leafs to look into some other things.”*
I still think there’s many ways a healthy Klinberg could help this team, I just don’t think we’ll ever get the chance to see it
Feel bad for the guy. His agent fucked him over in Dallas. Hopefully the injury can be treated and he can live a long and comfortable life off the ice and before he gets there, a 5 month vacation to the Island of Leafs choosing.

« Sheldon, what are you doing with that pipe wrench? »
I’m starting to get suspicious about this guy’s health.
They gonna Robidas island him aren’t they lmao
Ah makes you feel for him, hopefully the leafs help him rehab atleast.
Thats actually insane that a flight was enough to make him unable to dress in Sweden, especially since there was like 5 days between them getting there and playing the Sunday game.
The craziest timing is he came back for 1 game amidst this and had his best game of the season
Welcome to Robidas Island.
Feel bad that his career is basically over but the leafs need the cap relief if they can LTIR him.
Don’t shoot me if I’ve got that wrong just though it might be in play.
I saw him at the airport today heading on a plane to robidas island
Funny how often this is happening lately.
Not like this… obviously he doesn’t look good out there and is clearly hurt but I was optimistic about him
so the leafs never did a medical or injury check on the guy before signing him ?
Sounds like a sun clad future with lots of tiki umbrellas. Could be worse.
Off to Robidas Island, best rehab Island in the country
Watching prime Klingberg work was something else. He could move the puck, wheel around the ice and hold the blue line with the best of them. It’s clear that the Klingberg we’ve seen for the past few seasons isn’t the same player at all.
Who is on the TML pay roll?
Confirmed it’s Chris Johnston.
Let’s set the framework for another Matt Murray LTIR and get this washout off our cap accounting. Open up space for a D from Calgary.
The only DD Tre did on this signing was the double dip nachos he ordered from Pa’s humble bar and grill mega franchise.
He was knocking back a few brewskis with Reaver.
Really do feel for John. Hearing Eliiotte’s comments on 32 Thoughts pod, definitely does not sound good
His agent who turned down that deal is probably getting anonymous death threats lmao
uno mas for de island robidas.
Man I feel for the guy, and I had higher hopes for him than what he has been.
I am beyond curious if Tre knew about the injury before signing. It could change the way we look at his management skills completely.
