[LadyStanley]

Transactions - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Gives them some roster (but not cap) relief.

Guessing that's retroactive to last game played.

Somebody on the main board suggested he may LTIRetire in 1-2 years and while I think that may be a tad too aggressive of an estimate, I do think it’s an inevitable conclusion at some point within the earlier stages of his contract, and probably not too far away.

If he does not find a way to go more then 20-30 games between groin pulls then yes i see that also.

Maybe change something up in the recovery or the surgery itself because whatever he or they have been doing is for sure not working.

Oh and players need to not play through an injury just so they can play in some stupid useless meaningless exhibition game.

What does that mean for the Sharks? Sorry, I'm a little clueless regarding retirements and cap hits...do we get full cap relief since it's an under-35 contract?

 

[Negatively Positive]

He'll come back in a few weeks, play a few games then re-injure himself and miss the rest of the season. Repeat for the duration of his contract or until he decides to retire.

Hasso must be so pissed. He could have had a German star on the Sharks but instead we get Karlsson's corpse.

 

[Mafoofoo]

f*** Erik Karlsson. All my homies hate Erik Karlsson.


Just retire already

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

I’m pretty sure no one is more disappointed with what’s going on than EK himself. Hope he puts it together sometime soon.

Dude got paid.. he doesn’t care anymore or at least he doesn’t play like it

That’s probably more correlation than fact.

He hasn’t looked completely healthy in a long time, unfortunately.

maybe so. Idk man, I watched him a lot during his time in OTT and he always played with this passion and intensity. I haven’t seen that from in SJ since he signed that deal. I know he’s been riddled with injuries but that’s just what I’ve observed.

 

[Karl Prime]

Do we know the timeline for his return? Two weeks or more like a month?

Last we heard it was very minor. So he'll be back next year.

 

[Lebanezer]

Last we heard it was very minor. So he'll be back next calendar year.

FIFY

FIFY

That would be disappointing.....if he were back so soon.

 

[Friday]

EK will probably end up getting paid a million per point this year haha 11 seems maybe in reach if we're lucky

No one here knows if it's even the same groin. If he's being truthful (again who knows) it could be a simple groin pull on the other leg. He probably did a fair bit of compensating over time for his previous injuries and could have pulled it that way. Groin pulls happen all the time and don't require surgery. They do require rest though.

Coach was hoping for the the Vegas game on the 25th prior to the Minn being added. We'll probably get an update Monday morning as I think they get the day off tomorrow.

Dude got paid.. he doesn’t care anymore or at least he doesn’t play like it

He was paid last season too and played like he cared. At one point he was carrying the offense for the team prior to getting hurt.

DW making sure that we have the Sharks represented in worst contract lists for years to come.

Pretty sure that would still be the case without Karlsson being signed.

Yep, Karlsson, Vlassic, Jones and Burns (last 4 years as he declines). Depending on how Couture ages he could join them in a few years. Yeesh.

 

[LadyStanley]

Didn't travel with team on road trip.

Probably has an appointment to get fixed up by DR TING.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

Bleef.

 

[LeeIFBB]

mike potenza is just a microcosm

 

[stator]

His injurious is almost scandalous.

Mark Stone was the better deal by far. Cap hit is $2m less, and the Knights didn't have to give up a 1st pick.

 

[Blackbear]

Now let's see if we can get Burns to announce an "injury."
