Klassen would have likely been one of the Blades' three overagers next year but now it seems more likely that he'll be in the Rangers system somewhere. The Blades will still have three excellent overagers (they can pick from Derek Hulak, Milan Kytnar, Chris Langkow, and Walker Wintoneak still) but no overage defencemen now.
Klassen is the 2nd undrafted free agent with WHL eligibility remaining to sign an NHL contract in as many weeks. Everett forward Kellan Tochkin signed with the Canucks last week, although unlike Klassen, Tochkin is ineligible to be sent to the minors and so will be back in Everett next year.
