Proposal: Erik Karlsson To NYR

[topshelf15]

Why ,would NY even bother to talk to Ottawa about EK??If we trade him Ottawa goes into a full rebuild,the young cheap pieces NY would hope to surround EK with ...Would be the exact pieces we would want in return

 

[philip]

It's another one of those tricky ones where every team would want him, but no team is going to want to pay a lot for someone who is going to be UFA

 

[Captain Controversy]

Oilers bid 10th, klefbom, puljujarvi(cap dump of either Russel or lucic and conditional first if Karlsson resigns.

 

[ole ole]

this is gonna get locked

EK, arguably the best dman in the world for

late 1st
2nd
forward who put up a measly 4 pts in 19 games in NY
#7 dman that isnt good enough in his own end to be an NHL regular


what it would actually take

Andersson/Chytil
Buchnevich
9 Overall

For 1 yr of EK.
I guess you would be willing to part with Nylander,Liljegren the Leafs 1st and 2nd rd picks for 1 yr of Karlsson?

Except for the fact that in real life, we aren't flipping Karlsson for more than we paid for him. As you've noted, the assets going to Ottawa aren't close to enough. Even if we could potentially gain assets by trading for him and then flipping him, what would be the point of having him only for a few months? If we are going to trade for him (we aren't) it would be with the idea of keeping him, and that doesn't make sense for a rebuilding team. We didn't want to pay McDonagh 7+ mil into his mid 30s, but we are going to trade assets for Karlsson and pay him 10+ mil into his mid 30s? Where's the logic in that? Yes, Karlsson is a better player, but he's every bit as likely to regress as he ages. He's had some significant injuries in his career.

If we were at the end of the rebuild and needed that extra player to put us over the top, then a move like that would make sense. At the beginning of a rebuild, no.

But, in this scenario, we are living in the OP's hypothetical world where that original trade does happen. Everything folks are saying is in the context of being in that alternate universe.

The pieces in this deal aren't enough quality pieces going to Ottawa and this is the last move the Rangers should be making.

Great player but the Rangers should have no interest. They are rebuilding. They need to develop Pionk, keep their picks and build a team with a lot of young depth. Not spend a ton of money on this player.

Why does it matter? It's not happening.

The poster said what it would take. The poster didn't claim Rangers should do it, or that the leafs would put up an equivalent/ > package.

I most definitely would and I actually think he's decent.

Tough spots for the Sens. They were 1 win away from the finals last year, but everyone knew it was a mirage and probably wasn't close to repeatable. Still, how could you trade the face of the franchise after that carrying them through that run. And then, him and his wife expecting around the deadline only to have a miscarriage a month later.

Now with only a year left, getting the value that's commensurate with his talent will be tough. He picked up the puck at the last game at CTC so it appears he sees the writing on the wall, he's played his last game for the organization. With that said, this return is still really bad.

 

[RalphyDanger]

Why is Namestnikov in almost every trade proposal?

It’s because they (Spooner and Names) are one year away from UFA. Not because they are completely worthless.. Vesey is in the same boat but has zero trade value. Kevin Hayes is also one year away from UFA, but i imagine the rangers want him more long term.

All these guys could easily sign 2-3 year deals and than sign another “big” UFA contract.
