Ducks Trade John Klingberg to Wild

The Anaheim Ducks traded John Klingberg to the Minnesota Wild on Friday, the Wild’s official website reports. Minnesota received an offensive defenseman that can help their power play, and in return, the Ducks got back Andrej Sustr, the rights to Nikita Nesterenko, and a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Overall, Friday was a dud as far as the NHL trade deadline was concerned, but that was because so many big deals were already consummated in the previous weeks.

The Ducks were never a threat to make the playoffs this season, so it surprised many when they signed Klingberg during the offseason. They essentially inked him, knowing that at some point this season, he would be moved for a draft pick and a prospect; mission accomplished.

Anaheim picks up a 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night. While the Ducks are off on Saturday, you can find the lines and props for the entire NHL schedule on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
