Friedman: Cody Glass was likely the hold up on Karlsson to vegas trade

[hockeykicker]

10. The Golden Knights came close to acquiring Erik Karlsson
at the deadline. After seeing how the Capitals locked down the neutral zone and point men in the final, you can see how they might revisit something like this.
Word is one of the biggest hang-ups at the end was Cody Glass, drafted sixth overall last June. Vegas didn’t want to include him.

That makes sense--Vegas would have no idea whether or not they could resign him unless they were given permission by the sens

I think this is gonna be a recurring issue for Ottawa. No one is going to want to send them a top end prospect without the assurance that Karlsson will re-sign.

 

[LMFAO]

How bout Nick Suzuki?

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Send him to Vancouver for gudbranson and the 7th overall pick this draft plus something else

lol is that "something else" Elias Pettersson or Brock Boeser??

Not if Karlsson isn’t re-signed.

Bet they would’ve given up Glass at Dime point in game 2-3 of the final for Karlsson’s services.

You spelled "and" O-R.

 

[Mike Jones]

Karlsson would have been an excellent addition but I don't blame Vegas for saying no. With no first round pick this time around those three players chosen last year are all the more important. There's a lot of hockey in Vegas' future and holding on to guys like Glass only makes it brighter.

 

[robsenz]

I don't buy it

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

As a Sharks fan who hates Vegas more than anybody else, I’m genuinely very happy about how things turned out here.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Turning down Karlsson because he'll cost you Cody Glass is such an HF thing to do I'm convinced Mcphee posts here looking for advice.

 

[Vegan Knight]

I'm sure whether or not they had to take Bobby Ryan's contract in addition to what they were giving up played a role too. As well as the uncertainty of giving up a lot without the guarantee of Karlsson re-signing.

There is not a single asset in the Ottawa senators organization that the Canucks would trade Pettersson for.

Not really. The Knights might have been able to talk to Karlsson to see if he'll re-sign, or not and if so, how much he would be looking for..

Glass is Vegas' best prospect, no ?

LMFAO!!!

 

[Hale The Villain]

Glad the Sens were pushing for Glass. Like him a lot more than Suzuki.

Can see why the Knights didn't want to trade him. He's their only legit top 2 center prospect, and W.Karlsson is by no means a sure-bet to remain a #1 center long-term.

 

[McYoungGuns]

LMFAO!!!

While Pettersson is overrated somewhat, why is that funny? After you lose Karlsson, what do you even have ?

A PPG Selke candidate on the wing named Mark Stone.

Just how good do you think Pettersson will end up?

Probably better than Stone.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Thought it said Tanner Glass at first...

I don't want you to take this the wrong way because Stone is great but calling Stone a PPG guy is embellishing a bit.

60-something point, Selke type winger? Absolutely. And that is a very good player. A point per game guy? No. That isn't accurate when guys miss over a quarter of the season.

(For the record I wouldn't call William Karlsson a PPG Selke type guy either, even with the pace he set this year because it's only one year.)
