Confirmed with Link: Karlsson mega thread vol 5: Buckle up edition (Traded Edition: Thanks for the years Karlsson)

[Do Make Say Think]

Agreed. I feel bad for Dorion. He does not deserve Melnyk as his boss. He's a good evaluator of talent.

He's a scout, not a GM.

He took money to lie to his customers and run the franchise into the ground.

f*** him.

 

[saskriders]

Are you sure about that?!?!

I would have accepted if he admitted it and sold of minority shares of the team to help pay the bills. But after this I don't think I will be happy with him owning any part of the team.

 

[Golden]

Dorion having the position he has is proof that karma doesn’t exist and the world is just unfair.

Maybe it proves karma does exist? Who really would want to be a GM of a team owned by Eugene Melnyk?

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Nothing about his performance as GM validates that assessment. He's a stunningly bad evaluator of talent in this role.

Welcome back to our board Hossa, its been far too long.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Relax Ian, you guys did fine.

 

[Deku]

Relax Ian, you guys did fine.

yeah, the people ripping him are being too harsh. Dorion's BS speaks for itself and everyone knows it.

 

[swiftwin]

He's a scout, not a GM.

He took money to lie to his customers and run the franchise into the ground.

**** him.

Direct your anger at Melnyk. He's the root cause of all this.

On the 8th day God created Erik Karlsson....

 

[Punchbowl]

They've analyzed his genome I guess.

Not a bad idea.

I'd personally like to know what mutation is responsible for the 'u' in Harpur's last name.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Relax Ian, you guys did fine.

I wouldn't say they did no.

You can't let the guy give these kinds of answers and say nothing, that's not how this should work.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Said it once, and I'll say it again: They should have given COL the 2018 1st if they were going to trade EK.

There's no way we DONT finish bottom 3. I don't want to hear any delusions about us "surprising" people. We WILL completely suck.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

On the 8th day God created Erik Karlsson....

And on the 13th day he was traded for garbage.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

On the 8th day God created Erik Karlsson....

On the 9th day he sacrificed him for Brady Tkachuk’s best friend.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Direct your anger at Melnyk. He's the root cause of all this.

Dorion accept money to be the face of this, he's being paid for it.

He is scum while Melnyk is worse.

 

[Deku]

On the 8th day God created Erik Karlsson....

And today is the equivalent of the great flood

They were lying to try to get people to commit to season tickets by making people think a rebuild wasn't in the cards.

That's what's unacceptable here, not trading away Karlsson.

If you know you're going for a full rebuild then you keep your 1st rounder, its no brainer!!!

 

[Wondercarrot]

Piss on this organization of losers and incompetent buffoons.
You could practically feel the sweat draining off dorion s empty head through the radio.

I’d like to jam every bullshit word out of his fat head right down Melnyks slimy broke throat.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

If it’s still possible to cancel season tickets than it kind of loses its purpose lol.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

A bad man doing bad things...A "good" man working for the bad man resulting in bad things. It's all the same in the end.

Let's hope SJS miss the playoffs....I don't know...crazier things have happened. Assuming the pick is not lottery protected, that's the only thing that could save this trade.

Speaking of crazy things happening, it's possible, if San Jose re-signs EK, but then trades him to an Eastern Conference team before the deadline, and then goes on to win the Stanley Cup this year, that San Jose owe OTT
2019 1st
2019 2nd
2020 1st
2021 1st

It would take some really bizarre circumstances for SJS to sign him, and then trade him almost immediately, but its possible.
