We're not trading for him I can tell you that
Because there is more than one team competing for his services in my scenario.
If you think only one team will be in on a signed Karlsson, then I can tell you which one of us is offering up a pipe dream.
I dont want that garbage package from the Rangers.
I do want posters to be realistic and understand that if EK is available, there will be a bidding war for his services.
The reality of your worst case scenario perhaps.Well, what you want and what reality dictates are very different.
Not trying to be a dick but in all fairness, Dorions window to get a haul for EK closed with the trade-deadline.
The reality of your worst case scenario perhaps.
Sorry, but there is nothing to support the assumption that EK has one destination in mind and a desire to screw the Sens over.
His season ticket holder wife and in-laws probably wouldn't encourage the path you are suggesting...
You must be single...It is very cute that you think any of that will factor in
You must be single...
Great.I am and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Great.
But as a married man, I can assure you that the wife and in-laws POV will play a significant role in this process.
In fact, my gut tells me he takes a hometown discount based on keeping the wife happy. The wife/family are loaded and $ will not be the only factor in this decision.
The wife will have a far bigger say than the in-laws.I dont know what kind of relationship you have with your in-laws but the notion that a pro-athlete (or anyone) will let his/her spouse parents dictate what career move to do is absurd.
However, I do agree with you that his decision has less to do with money and more about Where he sees himself having fun playing while competing for a cup.
per my brain
The Rangers should not be in on Karlsson
The Rangers should not be in on Karlsson
If it meant Shattenkirk going the other way why not ?
Because it wouldn't be just Shattenkirk.If it meant Shattenkirk going the other way why not ?
If it meant Shattenkirk going the other way why not ?
His inlaws fortunes should play zero factor in it. It's not his money and not even his wife's money. No man with any self-respect would rely on handouts (which they would hold over him forever) from his in-laws rather than his own his income.Great.
