As of a few weeks ago it was an absolute lock that Klefbom was going back to Sweden. I still think he does, but journalist Johan Eriksson tweeted the following yesterday.

Edmonton so eager to have Klefbom in North America that Krüger more or less promised him NHL-minutes. #Oilers

Klefbom says himself that's it's a really tough decision and that he'll have to think about it. #Oilers

Big change from two months ago when staying in Färjestad one more year almost was his only option. #Oilers

Very interesting stuff. I doubt Krueger offered Klefbom NHL minutes, so I can only assume thats some lost in translation stuff, and I don't know how reliable this guy is - I don't know the ins and outs of Swedish media, but perhaps someone else does.

Klefbom is very intriguing to me though. Every time I watch him play, or catch highlights of games, he impresses me. At the Oilers recent development camp Klefbom was clearly a better defenseman than anyone else on the ice.

Should be interesting to see if he does indeed make the jump over this year. My hunch is that he'll go back to the SEL, and I think that's probably the best thing for him, but if he blows everyone away at camp this year (which he is rumoured to be coming to now...) then who knows!
