Rumor: Karlsson to Lightning (Mod warning in OP - READ IT)

[Patrik Barkov]

this really peppers my angus. Tampa will be unstoppable in the East if they don't lose anything significant. Ottawa has to be crazy not to ask for Sergachev as main piece?

I think it's been established that Ottawa is, indeed crazy

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Maybe it’s delayed because Dorion, as Melnyk’s fall guy, is still writing his script for the presser to make himself look bad and Melnyk like a hands-off owner who provides his GM with all resources.

Who knows what he’ll pull out of his ass...

If im ottawa im asking for Point/Sergachev , Foote + 1st round pick a frigging legit number 1 D

I’m thinking it’s Sergachev, Foote, gourde, 2020 1st round, Callahan to rangers

 

[Alluckks]

It's funny, but you might want to win a single cup with the team first

Ouch

 

[Boxscore]

I'm thinking...

TO TAM:
- Karlsson

TO OTT:
- Foote
- Cirelli
- 1st (2020)
- Assets TAM receives for Callahan + Coburn / Girardi

TO NYR/NJD:
- Callahan
- Coburn / Girardi

These moves clear up between $9.3 and $10 mil in salary for Bolts.

 

[timmeh]

The haul won’t be this big.

 

[Palio]

I can’t believe Ottawa is going to trade EK within the division. They better damn well make Tampa feel the pain of acquiring a superstar within the division. So help me if they trade him cheap... may the hockey gods turn their traded first round pick into the 1st overall

 

[Jarey Curry]

So if I got this right Ottawa offered Turris X amount of money and he didnt sign. Turris gets traded and signed for less than X amount in Nashville. Now Ottawa offered Karlsson 10M and got turned down. Rumor goes Karlsson is going to sign just that 10M possibly for Tampa. Question time. What is wrong with Ottawa as a place?

 

[Flamesjustwin]

This thread has turned much like the Dallas one did where fans wanted to give up magic beans for Erik Karlsson and not even their best magic beans. Typical HF, give us your franchise player and accept this pile of garbage in return.

Tennessee (Nashville) and Florida (Tampa) has no state income taxes...

Well is today the day?

10M in Florida is a lot more than 10M in Ontario. And it's Florida, it has like, sunshine and beaches and stuff

 

[JoemAvs]

So this will probably be the dreaded Friday afternoon or evening News dump?

Makes sense I guess...

And yeah Sergachev will be involved (unless Melnyks really hates all Russians). It does not make any sense for him not to be. Between Hedman, EK and even McDonagh, the Lightning won't lack offense from the backend anytime soon.

And Foote will probably be better defensively than Sergachev and won't need to be protected from the expansion draft...

 

[Micklebot]

Also, Tennessee and Florida have no Melnyk...

Nashville and Tbay spend what it takes to win, Ottawa runs a skeleton crew both on the ice, and off it.

Tennessee, like Florida, also has no state income tax.

Regardless, I believe term was the issue cited by turris.

It was, he said Ottawa never offered 6 years, meaning Ottawa was trying to sign him for 5 or less.

He also said he felt management wanted him there but the owner didn't.

I see you're posting from Belgium. To get a more accurate view of Florida i want you to follow this twitter feed. Florida Man (@_FloridaMan) | Twitter

Players pay income tax for each road game in the state it's played. It's only half the games (give or take a handful), and thus, half the income, which is affected.

Well for one, it’s not exactly a big city... young millionaires may want a bit more excitement... but factor in the that the team is in shambles, the owner is a dick, and the taxes are higher... players will take a cut to go elsewhere.

 

[Cmac66]

Please let the this be the day in which the deal gets done, i don't think i can deal with another day of having to keep refreshing the page.

Don't think that applies to games played in Canada though, so games against the 7 Canadian teams, as well as potentially increasing the number of games in Florida (you play more against teams in your division), so half isn't quite right either. Having said that, there are tax loopholes for foreign players playing in Canada, so long as they move back out of Canada afterwards (Idk how this one works exactly, but I saw an article on it and skimmed over it).

Four team trades have happened in the NBA, but obviously it’s not a common occurrence.

funny thing is all 4 team,s lost that trade

But why would the Rangers take on those two players and that salary without getting anything of significance back?
