Value of: Availability Of Erik Karlsson

[Todd Parchment]

Is he available from the Shakes and how much would it cost to purchase him. I have no team in mind just wondering and he’s not talked about as a top top guy anymore and maybe he’s a good piece to add at the draft to a team on the cusp with space and possibly retained. Would be waive or is he comfortable taking in millions in California now.

I'm sure San Jose fans would be more than fine if he was traded. Realistically, with his current contract and the financial uncertainty that comes with covid, I doubt there are many takers right now, if any.

 

[MartyOwns]

with the sharks presumably unable to retain, he's unmovable IMO

 

[Gecklund]

He would cost a ton more than any team would be willing to pay so no not available.

Ek65 spoke out not that long ago about not wanting to go through a rebuild, what if he agreed to waive to Seattle? Sharks would then have actual cap space to look into rebuilding and Seattle would get a 1D + team leader for the foreseeable future. EK's contract isn't great but I don't think he's completely fallen off the cliff as a player.

11.5m x 6 w/NMC on a 30 year old with a third of his ankle bone missing...

Why would you even consider this?

If I’m the Sharks, I trade you EK for a CONDITIONAL 7th and the Sharks WIN the trade.

 

[SNES]

Cost to sell you mean?

Lol. Yep this is why EK isn’t available.

EK plus 2 unprotected 1st round picks for PK Subban

Tough contract to move . Hed have to start playing close to it , or have heavy retention attached.

Crazy how he's fallen and so fast. Was a joy to watch just a short while ago.

A trade would have to be with a team on the cusp of contending needing an upgrade to reach that next level sending back a bad contract of their own, or as a one-for-one for another very high ticket player.

The former would be something like OEL or Subban going back if those teams were ready to put all chips on the table. The latter might be something like Faulk or Yandle for Karlsson (25% retained) if St. Louis or Florida felt that would give them a better window. Or Skinner for Karlsson if Buffalo think he'd be a good mentor for Dahlin.

 

[DFC]

As much as it sucks, the Sharks might have to retain to get real value here. Covid made a lot of contracts borderline untradeable. Changes if Karlsson returns to being the best Dman on planet earth.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

He would cost a ton more than any team would be willing to pay so no not available.

He would probably cost the Sharks assets to move tbh lmao

 

[Adele Dazeem]

I'm sure something around Tyler Johnson + from Tampa would get it done.

Yeah that's an hard pass

He’s not talked about as a top guy because he’s making $11.5M for 6 more years as an offensive defensemen who isn’t all that great offensively anymore, lol.

Nobody’s taking him without massive retention and an overpay.

Karlsson’s contract carries deeply negative value. It’s not moveable. There is no cost to acquire him. He could be waived tomorrow and no one touches that deal. He’d sail right thru waivers unclaimed.

 

[General Fanager]

You cant be serious.

It may very well be the most negative value deal in the league.

Detroit arguably got the 2nd round pick to take on Panik for 2 x $2.75. Imagine the cost of Karlsson at 6 x $11.5.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

He would carry pretty serious negative value, even if he "could" bounce back, his contract is too much money for too many years

 

[Desert Panther]

You cant be serious.

I'm sure he's perfectly serious. No team would be willing to offer anything because his value is zilch. Ergo, it would cost a ton more than any team would be willing to pay.

lol i guess thats a clever way to look at it......

100% We'd give Tyler Johnson away for someone to get Erik Karlsson. I'd hate to see it go down like that, but it is what it is.
