Speculation: EK65 - How much should Ottawa offer him this summer? (hypothetical)

[topshelf15]

or a statement like "come buy tickets and then maybe just maybe we will spend on the team"

Or else its your fault!!!,could be added

"No one is gonna offer 7 years for an injury prone player"
"No one is going to give him the money he turned down in Ottawa"

I wonder if the EK detractors gonna come in here and eat their crow?

Oh im sure some sort of spin job will be incoming. Rinse repeat, ya gotta give them credit they always come back despite being wrong over and over again.

 

[bert]

And so dear friends
You just have to carry on
The dream is over

You didnt actually think there was a chance he was coming here? Even in your wildest dreams it was not happening.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Yay we get another 2nd round pick that we will include in a trade so that the other team will pay the player bonus.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

This means we get a second round pick?

 

[Senscore]

Don't worry, when Karlsson has two years left on his deal and can barely move anymore, I'm sure San Jose wouldn't mind taking a few annoying draft picks off our hands to get him back.

and then someone will as bettman about ottawa and he will be like "this is fine" haha

 

[pzeeman]

Good for him. San Jose felt they could handle the greater-than-zero risk of him not living up to that contract.

The Senators couldn't. I said a year ago that if the Senators signed Karlsson to a contract like that and got eight years of 17-18 Karlsson, we'd be nostaglic for players working out like Ryan did. I stand by that. The margin for error here is so low.

This will be post-FYOUS.

There is a method to the madness.

Honestly, this is the best and probably most factual post of the day.

Yep didnt see many here ,thinking or even wishing for this...EK is better off playing on a team that actually does do everything they can to win...Rather than just BS about it

Going to be a shame Erik won't be able to participate in that.

Lol ....This team...What else can we do??? Other than to laugh about the sheer stupidity of it all

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Not even surprised that Dorion was only able to get a second round pick in the event Karlsson re-signs.

Those lyrics felt suitable for the situation.

I am suprised he got anything tbh. I mean atleast we got Demelo I think he projects to improve to be a better d man than Karlsson in year 8 of his contract. I mean thats a win right?

They even traded Hoffman for him a year early.

All part of the illusion....Us fans are simple minded ,and wont put two and two together

For some reason most teams have conditions on players that re-sign after being traded such as Duchene that ends up netting a 1st round pick. But not Ottawa, no, we could only get a 2nd round pick 2 years from now for the best defense men in the entire world. awesome.

its the only way to stay sane about all of this

My god,lol thats good.....NJ Bert

 

[Sens With Benefits]

Can someone please confirm the picks. Do we get San Jose's first rounder next year? And a second on 2021? It's super confusing.

 

[topshelf15]

Yep,I think they should give up on the spin doctoring and trying to lie to us ...Regarding player movement,nobody is buying it anymore...So why waste time,and money trying to hide the obvious anymore

C'mon Karlsson really did want to come back to play here.

But then Brennan Jinx the surprise and EK said f*** that i'll stay in San Jose to make a bigger surprise.
