Klingberg announced on Twitter that he will play for Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the KHL during the coming season.
After finding himself far down the Rangers' organizational depth chart on the wing, Klingberg elected to take his talents to Europe rather than spending another season at the AHL level. Since Klingberg was ticketed for restricted rather than unrestricted free agency, he'll remain the property of the Rangers should he decide to return to the NHL at some point. Klingberg was acquired by New York during the trade deadline as part of the deal that sent Lee Stempniak to Winnipeg.

Klingberg was assigned to AHL Hartford on Monday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
The Rangers received Klingberg back from the Jets as part of the Lee Stempniak trade on Sunday, but there wasn't an open spot on the 23-man roster for him. The 24-year-old has provided some strong scoring totals at the AHL level the last four seasons, but will likely be forced to occupy a bottom-six role should he receive an opportunity with the Rangers later in the season.

The Rangers traded Lee Stempniak to the Jets on Sunday in exchange Klingberg.
Klingberg has spent the bulk of the season with AHL St. John's, though he did suit up for two games with the Jets this season. He'll provide the Rangers with some added forward depth, but his immediate role with his new organization has yet to be clarified.

Klingberg was reassigned to AHL St. John on Sunday.
Klingberg was demoted in order to make room for Blake Wheeler (knee) off the injured reserve list. With just two games spent on the ice with Winnipeg, Klingberg is a candidate to receive a call-up in the future, although he won't likely see significant time on the ice if that happens.

Klingberg was recalled from AHL St. John's on Wednesday, Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.After failing to claim a roster spot out of training camp, Klingberg has remained in the AHL all season, where he's collected 15 goals and 15 assists in 51 games. There's a chance Klingberg could play in Thursday's game against the Capitals, as both Mathieu Perreault (lower body) and Drew Stafford (upper body) are dealing with injuries that will force at least one to IR. Rather than inserting Klingberg into the lineup, coach Paul Maurice could instead opt to move Dustin Byfuglien over from defense to fill the void on the wing.

Klingberg was reassigned to AHL St. John's on Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
Klingberg has appeared in 10 games with the Jets across the last three seasons, but it doesn't appear as though he's on the cusp on earning a permanent stay with the parent club. He may need an assortment of injuries to get an extended chance in Winnipeg, and might be an intriguing option if that ever ends up materializing. Klingberg has proven himself as a capable scorer at St. John's, amassing a career-high 22 goals in 65 contests last season.

Carl Klingberg has been called up by Winnipeg.
He will play Monday because Dustin Byfuglien (upper body) is done for the rest of the season. "My job is to skate hard, be smart out there, and I think it's gonna be good," Klingberg said. "It's exciting, real exciting. It's a long time since I last played (in the NHL), so it's gonna be a lot of fun." He doesn't have a point in seven career NHL appearances.
