Rumor: Erik Karlsson Mega Thread II - All rumors/speculation/proposals go here

[vippe]

Lol
Ya 2 Norris trophies, twice runner up, heard some stat during conference final he was on the ice for only 1 or 2 goals in first 2 rounds.
How many Norris trophies do your Leafs have, or have in their history,
Leafs have zero Norris trophies in over 100 years,, couldn’t even get one when there were 6 teams, should of gotten about 2 per decade with 6 teams.

Also zero goals against in the last olympics. But yeah, he not only sucks defensively you could put any player in his position and he would outplay Karlsson with ease!

I've stopped bothering with the hot takes on Karlsson.. it's beyond pathetic at this point.

 

[DaBossN]

just did in my game

Ott receives Johnson, sergachev and 1st
TB receives Karlsson, 6th

[Notsince67]

So what is Karlsson to you? Top 5, top 10? Who should he be compared to when talking about contract? Hedman, Reilly, Doughty?

What are we really discussing?

Already stated it. Less than Doughty and more than Subban

I think the issue might be that Dorion is insistent on having Bobby Ryan be apart of the deal. If he wasn't then I think this trade happens already.

 

[Jarey Curry]

Karlssons importance to his teams success is almost close to Crosbys effort. Cant see Crosby being traded for Sergachev +++. Much more is needed

Fine! Do you really care what Karlsson makes?

 

[Qward]

I was in the bathroom... did the trade happen?

 

[Notsince67]

Why are you harassing me?

Everybody knows that the senators had an extremely flukey and lucky run last year. Karlsson obviously benefited from that lol.

I dont really care about norrises... The best dman doesnt always win. What matters is on ice play. As a leaf fan I would be happy if tampa gets him. Seems like karlsson is always good for a few goals against when he plays the leafs

 

[Habib21]

Are the Red Wings maybe trying to sell EK on joining them?
Don't take this post too seriously, Red Wing fans can hope.

Detroit Red Wings Henrik Zetterberg golfing in Scotland a good sign?

Karlsson was not a passenger of the run last year, he was the main reason why it happened. And I'd be careful what you wish for, Ottawa doesn't have a D core that can pick up EK if he's having a bad game but Tampa certainly does.

The people saying this are by far the most terrified of Karlsson going to the Lightning, haha.

Pretty much..

And any defense with two Norris winners in their respective prime should instill fear in most teams.

But I guess Tampa hasn’t factored in Tavares.

Anyway, if he ain’t staying in Ottawa I hope he at least stays in the east.

If Tampa gets Karlsson they have 2 of the top 3 D in the league, while Toronto has...Morgan Rielly? Leafs fans should care, Tampa become unstoppable with him.

 

[pown]

Doughty is the best defenseman in the league

Lol even Doughty himself thinks Karlsson is better and thinks he should get payed more

We heard that for last season and we were stopped. Karlsson makes us a lot better, but depending on what we give up, it might open a hole somewhere else. While i would still say we will be a favourite, nothing unstoppable in hockey. Except maybe the beautiful bromance between Karlsson and Hedman.

If you had Karlsson for your run last year you'd have won the cup, of that I have no doubt.

It's going to be awesome when whoever gets Karlsson will realise what Sens fans got to know watching him night in, night out.

 

[Dynamite Time]

TB signing Kucherov extension basically takes them out of getting Karlsson, unless they still make a trade and have him for one season.

Not really. They are more or less in the same spot. It was never going to be Kuch OR Karlsson.

 

[Coach Parker]

C'mon Boston! Bring this Atlantic Division race another twist before the end of July!

Thank you. Wasn’t sure about their cap space.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Thank you. Wasn’t sure about their cap space.

I knew TB had cap space to bring in Karlsson this upcoming season but if they can also get him for a number of years, go TB.

 

[Everblades13]

Thank you. Wasn’t sure about their cap space.

They will still have to make a trade(s), but they would've had to do that anyway. This has been their plan since the Karlsson endeavor began.

Tampa was supposed to be unstoppable last year....

Spoiler: they were stopped.

Wasn’t for sure about (didn’t look up) their cap space. Man if the Lightning get Karlsson.
