Friedman: Columbus and... Erik Karlsson?

[93LEAFS]

How would the PP minutes work out with Karlsson, Jones and ZW?

For shot purposes, if they are going to run a 3F-2D PP, Werenski will be the one who gets time with one of the other two due to being a left-shot. So, most likely Werenski-Karlsson, with Jones pushed into more of a shut-down role.

 

[3074326]

I don't know why they do this unless they are moving Jones or Werenski. The 3 of them fill the same role, and CBJ needs star power at forward more than anything

If they landed Karlsson and moved one of Jones/Werenski for an impact forward, that's a pretty quick way to move on from the Panarin situation. Jones or Werenski would bring back someone of serious value.

 

[TrufleShufle]

At this point I think I'm going to start a thread with a tweet from myself saying

"I know there is a lot of talk going around, but from my sources, the Sens seem very interested in signing Karlsson #unexpected #addthemtothelist"

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Sounding more and more like Eklund.

Man, so true. Friedman is basically nothing more than Eklund in a suit these days. He isn't breaking anything, he has tepid opinions...he might need a reboot of some sort.

As for this, Erik would be a nice fit, but why not Nashville outside of Dallas, Vegas or Tampa?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I love this offseason Usually by now it's over byt we still got Karlsson out there

 

[Maylo]

"somebody told me" that "maybe" ... man sounds reliable!

 

[DJA]

Somebody told me, that Elliotte had a boyfriend, who looks like a girlfriend...

 

[ffh]

more "spitballing" by Elliott

 

[Rebels57]

They couldn't land Werenski alone for an extended Karlsson.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

At this point these insiders are throwing darts at a board with nhl teams on it.

 

[Nalens Oga]

I remember when this guy was a journalist, now he's just Elliott Friedlund.

Really pathetic to both watch and listen to these days especially at the draft "hey GM so u drafted this guy whatevs, any trade activity durr?"

 

[Rabid Ranger]

"I think therefore I am."

 

[Maplebeasts]

Could Otttawa land both Werenski and Wennberg for an extended Karlsson?

Easily

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Could there be a massive deal around Karlsson + Duchene to be had?


To OTT: Wennberg + Dubinsky + Murray + Abramov + 1st + another prospect/pick

To CBJ: Karlsson + Dunchene


Panarin-Dubois-Anderson
Milano-Duchene-Atkinson
Foligno-Nash-Bjorkstrand
Jenner-Sedlak-Davidsson

Werenski-Jones
Nutivaara-Karlsson
Kukan-Savard

 

[Rob Brown]

Could Otttawa land both Werenski and Wennberg for an extended Karlsson?

Uhhhh no.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Don’t kill me if the value is a little off, but here’s a (sort of) 3 way

To LA: Panarin, Milano

To CBJ: Toffoli, Vilardi

Then

To OTT: Toffoli, Savard, Vilardi, 2019 1st

To CBJ: Karlsson (extension pre-negotiated)

Am I off, or could that work for everyone?

 

[jeamein]

Im from Finland and not sure what kind of place Columbus is, but I assume that not the most comfortable? And player like Karlsson will definitely want to live in comfortable city, it wont be only money

 

[Ollie Weeks]

But are they a stealth team for Karlsson?

What do you mean by “comfortable”? With low cost of living and a good place to raise a family, it’s about as “comfortable” as it gets.

not anymore

thanks a lot Nichols

So we’d be giving up Panarin, Milano, and Savard for Karlsson? Who’s going to be scoring goals for us? That’s awful value for Columbus, and I don’t even care that we’d be acquiring one of the best defensemen in the league.

what do you mean by comfortable?

 

[ijuka]

"somebody" "thought" "maybe" "try" ...

Yeah, okay. I wonder if Friedman should get the Eklund treatment.

what do you mean by comfortable?

Ohio seems like a bit of a culture shock at least to me.

 

[DJA]

Ohio seems like a bit of a culture shock at least to me.

Have you ever set foot in the state? And a culture shock to whom exactly?

Ottawa ain’t exactly South Beach if you weren’t aware.

It's more comfortable than Ottawa.

Ottawa is tiny bit more cultured and is more of a hockey scene, but that's all they got.

Columbus has better traffic, better arena, not as cold. You don't go to either city if you want nightlife.
