Proposal: Guess Karlsson's 10 team no trade list

[ManofSteel55]

??????

If anything these past few years have shown the opposite.

How so? They are still near the bottom of the league in terms of player salaries and team value.

 

[ManofSteel55]

I cant imagine him listing teams like Colorado and Arizona, no way they'd give up the assets needed to acquire him when they're out of the playoffs and rebuilding.

If you're a player are you gambling on logic, or listing the 10 teams you would be least happy with because you don't want to play for a bad team for the next year and a half? I'd still list them even though there aren't good odds of them wanting me, just so I don't have to go to a dumpster fire.

Maybe so? What does that have to do with anything I said?

Buffalo
Arizona
Carolina

Colorado
Islanders
Vancouver
Winnipeg
Detroit
Calgary

I see folks having Toronto on his list, but if i am Doriin, i would hope TO isn't on it. He may never trade EK to Toronto, but he could use the Leafs to drive up the price as TO young pieces.

Edmonton
Toronto
Calgary
Montreal

Go to the kings. Doughty, karlsson and quick. Win every game 1-0. Done

We're also one of the younger teams in the league. We have Laine, Ehlers, Connor, Morrissey, on ELC's. 3 of our top 6 and our best LHD. Our best goalie is making 2 million a year. We have a forced Trouba bridge deal.

The only major player we've let walk is Ladd, and that's because he reportedly turned down a 6x6 offer and wanted more.

Add in the re-signing of Little, Buff, Perreault, signing of Kulikov and Mason.

Don't mistake properly managing the cap for a lack of finances.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

The usual suspects.

Rangers
LA
Anaheim
Chicago
Pittsburgh
Boston
San Jose
Colorado
Detroit
Rangers

He’s going to the Rangers.

 

[Melrose Munch]

All the canadian teams
Buffalo
Columbus
NYI


Carolina, Arizona, Florida at least are warm with low taxes.

I'd wager his actual list would look much different than the teams most people are putting on their list. Arizona seems to be on everyones list, but there is no way Arizona would even bother trying to trade for him. The list would be contending teams or big hockey markets he doesn't want to play for.

Yup. No point to include Arizona on the NTC list as they would never trade for him.

Too many people are making lists of the “bad teams” without taking into account many of those teams would never be a serious potential trade parter for Karlsson.

A smart NTC list will exclude those weaker teams that aren’t realistic trade partners and expand into the next tier of “undesirable” destinations.

He would probably prefer to not move again after the 2019 season if he can make it work, so I don't think it would be outlandish to think that he would prefer to go to a team that is more secure in its finances. Nothing against the Jets organization here, but they are a small market with small market income.

Better check your facts. Jets owner is one of the wealthiest in pro sports. The team is extremely profitable and stable. It would be hard to find a more stable hockey team that has a terrific talent base and cap room to take on a player like EK. Having said that I wouldn’t touch him if I was Jets GM. Too much to give up and too long of a contract most likely.

It's all good.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

1. Arizona
2. Vancouver
3. Vegas
4. Colarado
5. Detroit
6. Islanders
7. Buffalo
8. Florida
9. Carolina
10. Up in the air -- Montreal/Toronto/Edmonton would occupy this slot I imagine

Regardless of his desire to play for them or not, EK would be wise to not put Detroit on the list. They realistically would never try to accquire him at this point and time, it’d be wasting a spot

 

[WannabeFinn]

1. Toronto
2. Montreal
3. Vancouver
4. Edmonton
5. Arizona
6. Florida
7. Buffalo
8. Colorado
9. ....?
10. ....?

I feel like the 8 I listed have a pretty good to strong chance of being listed but I really have no idea which teams are most likely to be the 9th and 10th. I want to say a team like Vegas would be one of them, but they've been surprisingly good and have plenty of cap space to make Karlsson happy.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

he would be the 4th rd on the depth charts. 1st on Edmonton.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Not saying he is right, but Edmonton has two Swedish defenders on the back-end that are close-ish to his age demographic and playing with McDavid always has a certain amount of appeal.

Not afterwards they wouldn't, Klefbom likely goes back in any deal

 

[Coily]

The usual suspects.

Rangers
LA
Anaheim
Chicago
Pittsburgh
Boston
San Jose
Colorado
Detroit
Rangers

He’s going to the Rangers.

Why are the Rangers listed twice? And how would he go there is he has them twice on his "No-trade list"?

 

[ZiGOODejad]

if the islanders had a steady stadium and a signed JT i could actually see him playing there for that year and a half. right now they have a decent team and he would make them even better.

Damn I didn’t realize it was a “No Trade” list. I thought it was a list of teams he’s willing to go to. Rags were on there twice because I really think that’s where he’ll wind up.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Has it even been confirmed EK65 was definitely asked for a list or is that initself still just a rumor/speculation?

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Think it would be more interesting to think where he might want to go.

And hopefully not just (insert my team)

most ranger fans would like to have him but we all know our GM isn't mortgaging the future anymore for any player

Can't wait for this to end.

With 1.5 years to the mother load of a UFA contract his 10 team no trade list would consist of the 10 teams he perceives to have the least chance to win the cup. Nothing would drive up his value more than more trophies especially the big one.
