Yeah, how about hell no from Avs POV.

Maybe hell no on that offer but Karlsson and the Avs are a perfect fit IMO and they have the assets to get it done. Kind of infuriating to me that they haven't been rumored because it should be a no brainer.

Even if that new team is yours?? (based on your av)

I am originally a Sens fan. Still am, but just can't take it anymore when it comes to what Melnyk is doing to the team.

So it will hurt so bad to see Karlsson on another team just becasue our garbage owner can't afford to build a competitive team.

Per TSN radio live at the arena...

Team might be setting up the big media room upstairs instead of the small setup in front of a banner near the dressing room they usually use for player interviews at training camp for talking with media. EK said he would talk at 1 pm, so Ottawa media is all there waiting.

The suspense...

Its only going to be in the big media room because it's EK's turn to interview Melnyk

It's more than half past 1pm. Has Erik spoken to media in Ottawa?

No, they have set up a media room but everyone is waiting. Saying he is in testing or who knows what.
Feeling is beginning that nothing is going to happen. Karlsson might not even speak who knows.

I don't understand what SJ could offer.

Karlsson + Ryan for Hertl, Meier/Lebanc, 2020 1st, 2 2019 2nds ?

They won't trade their best D and a fair chance to get either of Hughes, Kakko, Turcotte, Byram, Cozens etc for EK and an albatross in Ryan, in the process killing their cap flexibility as well.

The Ottawa owner is controlling this whole circus. Everything goes through him. In the meantime Pageau is out with a bum ankle hurt in testing.

We couldn't afford that, we'd have to send some salary out. Like Bruan, Hertl, or Tierney (or a combination). All good players though.

Avs are a terrible fit.

They are an amazing fit for Ottawa as a trade partner but not vice versa.

Avs are 12 months away from finishing with 48 points and have a very young team that overachieved last year by quite a bit and play in the hardest division by quite a bit.

Turning around now and sacrificing the assets they have painfully accumulated over the last couple of years to bring in a 28 year old star player who will demand 12M+ while not really fitting their cores window as well as their team needs (Avs strength right now is arguably right handed offensive minded Ds in their system) does not make much sense.

Avs have to just stand pat and rely on next years draft to help them solve their major issues. That Ottawa pick as well as their own 1st will probably play a crucial role in how this rebuild works out for them this time.

They should stay the hell away from EK (who probably has 0 interest in re-signing with a team like the Avs anyways..)

SJ trades whatever it is they apparently can offer to OTT to pick up EK at a low price because other teams aren't offering much.

SJ turns around and trades Karlsson to TB for Sergachev+Raddysh+a pick or two.

DO IT.

not sure about that. Pens and Washington. Tampa, Toronto, boston and even Florida is friggin hard. This deal will tilt some more power to the Pacific. The divisions are pretty close right now.
