Makes retirement official
Klefbom (shoulder) officially announced his retirement from playing hockey Friday, according to RDS.ca.
ANALYSIS
Klefbom last played during the 2019-20 season, so this news is no surprise to fantasy players, as he was unable to overcome his shoulder injury. Edmonton's first-round pick in 2011, Klefbom had 34 goals and 122 assists in 378 career games.

Klefbom will miss the start of the 2020-21 season due to a lingering shoulder injury suffered near the end of the 2019-20 regular season. It's unclear if he will get surgery to fix the injury -- if he does, he could potentially miss the entire campaign. The Oilers' have already addressed his expected absence in the lineup by signing Tyson Barrie to take over top-pairing and first power-play unit duties. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can safely ignore Klefbom on draft day, but dynasty managers will want to retain his services. The Swede racked up 34 points in 62 games while blocking 180 shots and firing 159 shots on goal last year. He's got the skills to play at a 40-point pace if his recovery goes well.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

May not be ready for 2021-22
Klefbom -- who missed the entire 2020-21 campaign due to a shoulder injury -- may not be available for Opening Night of the upcoming season, per Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com.
ANALYSIS
Klefbom was coming off a solid season in 2019-20 in which he registered 34 points in 62 games while averaging 25:25 of ice time, but the entire year off certainly won't improve his chances of coming back and being an impactful player for the Oilers. At this point, the possibility the 27-year-old blueliner has played in his final NHL game is certainly a possibility. If that's the case, he would retire having appeared in 378 games while tallying 34 goals and 122 assists.
