Player Discussion Erik Karlsson Discussion Thread | Part IV | Foot Surgery Edition

[Gil Gunderson]

Even though it was obvious what the plan was, the franchise doesn’t deserve a dime from anyone with a scumbag move like this. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that a well-known con man is teasing the fans just so they can renew season tickets. Scamming people out of their money is nothing new from this buffoon.

You’re better off looking for unicorns than waiting for a Stanley Cup under Melnyk. This franchise is in the f***ing gutter and it’ll take a miracle to get out.

If EK gets traded man, this team and people who root for it are gonna be jokes.

Put yourself in Karlssons shoes. Why in the world would he sign short term? It makes no sense at all.

Can I also put myself in EK's financial position? It's not a gamble you or I would take, but I might consider it if I'm being compensated for the extra risk and if I already had EK's bank statement. He's risking a lot, for sure, but that gamble could pay out a few extra million per year in the short term. And if he's still tearing it up in a few years, he walks right into another monster deal where he doesn't have to take a salary reduction because he's asking for extended term.

All that said, I know it's a long shot to go down that way.

The backlash and horrible attendance might be the only good thing that could come of this.

Something is rotten about this franchise if we're the only team in the league that wouldn't pay Karlsson his market value.

Hehe yeah its a long shot that has no possibility of hitting the target. Wishfull thinking.

 

[DJB]

Karlsson and Alfie are best buddies. This only further supports my thoughts that Karlsson will leave.

 

[coladin]

Erik Karlsson is on the warpath right now. Things are going to get real interesting very shortly.

Support for this claim?

I have heard that he hasn't let those disgusting Instagram tweets go and has had forensic investigators track down who was responsible...

Hopefully he doesn't use the same forensic team EM used.

 

[Langdon Alger]

It’s his birthday today!

Happy Birthday Karl!

 

[Six Assets]

Damn he was drafted 10 years ago

 

[armani]

Happy Bday King Karlsson. Hope to celebrate your 36th birthday on the Sens forum as well.

 

[Xspyrit]

Didn't even have a special thread for his b-day...

Clear that he is gone.

 

[coladin]

Probably not, lol, but it will have repercussions for next season

Were we planning on just bundling Ryan and Karlsson's birthday threads together?

After the Collangelo stuff in the NBA I'm pretty interested to see where this goes.

If that's true, then good for him! Those tweets were beyond vile. The person(s) who did that need to be held accountable.

How so?

No kidding. I am hoping attendance drops to sub-10000 so Melnyk is persuaded to sell. Probably just getting my hopes.

Location downtown will bring more fans to the arena than a new owner

Happy Birthday Karl!

Indeed... Happy birthday EK

Can't say much more other than they know who said it...who is behind it.
