Another vote for Klefbom. With the injury of Sekera, Klefbom is going to have all the chance to run the PP in Edm. On the other side, Montour got Fowler in front of him. He should get less PP minutes
Hard choice. I like a lot Klefbom as a bounce back candidate.
I take Klefbom by a inch.

I'm really hoping I'm right when I say Klefbom. I'm biased because I drafted the guy, but I felt that all signs point to him being a really valuable fantasy Dman on the back half of your roster. If you're drafting him as a 5-6 fantasy D, he could pay huge dividends - especially in leagues that count SOG + Blocks. But even in points-only, I think he will end up better than Montour for the next couple seasons at least.

Hahaha! Theses rumors comes from me!!
Seriously, I think Moutour is a way better offensivly d-man than Klefbom and he will surpass the 50 points as soon as he get the PP1 (it can occure this season but I would bet on the next one to give him more time to grow his game before running the entire show).
So, for this season it's close (assuming Klefbom will bounce back), but after, I take Montour eyes closes!

MONTOUR, for this season it might be close between both players, then Montour all the way.
Tough call but I'd go with Montour. Klefbom is a gamble.

Klefbom as he's the Oilers best offensive dman. The same cannot be said about Montour who should be behind both Lindholm and Fowler.

Montour is much more "dynamic" offensively than any of the other Duck's D and Klefbom. They're grooming him for PP1. I own him and wouldn't trade him for Kelfbom.
Montour by a significant margin, especially when thinking long-term. He is not behind Fowler or Lindholm for pp1 duties. I'd bet Carlyle''s job on it.
To me, a lot will hinge on what Nurse signs for. If it's a big contract or a "prove it" one year deal then that likely brings with it a long look on PP1 or an incentive for him to thrive, thus hurting Klefbom. Meanwhile, Montour is seemingly a lock for 35+ and if all goes well could jump to 35+. I'm going with Montour here.
