They can't wrap their heads around the idea that what the other team is (potentially) getting is not what they're giving up. They're not giving up 9 years of Erik Karlsson. They're giving up one year of a disgruntled Erik Karlsson, because that's what he is to Ottawa now. So all they're going to get is the best offer to come out of a bidding war. But once teams drop out, the offers get nothing but lower, and TB very well could drop out any time.

Snipers are a dying bread in the NHL
As predator fan and watching him every game you could see the decline in Weber. But watching pk you don't see that decline. You can even say that he is right in the middle of his prime years
Wait so the Leafs give up Nylander,Carrick and their 1st and expect to get Subban..
Start with Marner if you expect to get one of the top 5 D-man in the league. Your offer might get you a good 2nd.
I was more shocked by the fact that we give up 4 of the 5 pieces Ottawa wants to get rid of Karlsson but we don't end up with him, Nashville does.

It's important to note that Demar DeRozan was promised he wouldn't be traded. And he was traded anyway.
And people wonder why players leave teams and don't show team loyalty. Why the hell should they when shit like this happens?

In the NBA, looks like players are less loyal than the teams.

I wouldn't so much say that, but there is a lot more player movement in the NBA, for sure.
Teams make massive trades all the time.

This is fair. Take it or leave it Pierre.
You do realize that DeRozan would have been the first player to ask for a trade if the Raptors failed to sign Lowry right? There is no loyalty in sports. It's a business.

It's bad if Ujiri lied to his face when he was in the process of negotiating with the Spurs. However, loyalty is irrelevant. It's a business and trades must be a part of it. Make the team better.

Not really sure whose picks are going where there but that’s besides the point as Fowler is no longer tradable. As of July 1 his ridiculous 28 team NTC kicked in. Pre July 1 I would have loved a deal based around Fowler and Karlsson but it’s not possible anymore.

Sadly I think this deal violates the CBA. An ownership stake in the Senators qualifies as actual income at this point.
Pierre said he won't do it for any less than Glass so make sure you throw in a few sets of glass seats to placate the man.

Is there any new developments in the Karlsson talks? or has it just gone completely quiet? All I see are Eklund rumours around here haha.
I think he wants Tanner Glass..without him there is no deal.

Ownership in the Sens is the Bobby Ryan of real-world value. "Hey Erik, how do you feel about taking on some of our 235 million in debt and being legally obligated to spend time with Melnyk several times a quarter?"

He will probably still go to Vegas even without Glass. But they will take Ryan and that is what will eventually close the deal.
