Man I’m happy to see more pieces like this... oooh he’s big and hits and look at those goals! He a typical meathead 3rd pairing LEFTY, having a bit of an outlier season playing very sheltered mins on one of the deepest blue lines in hockey. Not exactly the same move but in principle similarly Nill bought high on Mush, everyone makes an impulse purchase occasionally, hopefully he isn’t doubling down on the defensive version.
LTIR Hakanpaa to go get his knee fixed, yo-yo Bichsel to get a finer point on his NHL development, then sit back and enjoy the meat mountain we'll be able to call a third pair come playoffs.
No need to go dropping assets on what will likely amount to an expensive Bichsel blocker in the lineup moving forward.

Trade idea:
Toronto trades Klingberg with retained salary (3.75m), Vancouver's '24 5th, and a prospect to Calgary for Zadorov
Calgary trades Klingberg with retained salary (1.9m) to Dallas for Hakanpaa, NJ '25 5th, and Riley Damiani.
Calgary trades Hakanpaa at TDL for further picks and prospects.
Agree, with Joshua.
