Rumor: Erik Karlsson Mega Thread III - All rumors/speculation/proposals go here

[BAM]

Gardiner + Nylander

 

[untouchable21]

Except he's on winnipegs top pair now so that's not the case anymore. He logged big minutes for them the last 2 seasons and paired with Morrissey has become the teams best shutdown pairing.

Even if this wasn't an absolutely terrible trade for both sides... there's no way trouba resigns in ottawa long term

With the exception of power play time which is something he obviously craves and needs to pad his offensive statistics.

Not that I agree with the proposal.

 

[Deam78]

I think the premise to trading Trouba is if we can't match his salary demand... Point is Karlsson will command more and taking Ryan will be a real pain in the ***.

From OTT's perspective, I doubt Trouba would stay there, but the value could be there.

Both team pass.

 

[Hunter368]

To Winnipeg: Erik Karlsson
Bobby Ryan (50% retained)

To Ottawa: Jacob Trouba (somewhere between 5-6.25 M AAV)
Jack Roslovic
2019 1st Rd Pick
2020 3rd Rd Pick (becomes 2nd if Karlsson re-signs)

Nope, don’t even consider it as a Jets fan. OP states looks like Trouba signed at a low cap hit, Jets saddled with Ryan contract and EK comes to us unsigned? No chance.....Jets take all the negatives and risk. Easy pass

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Fat chance Trouba would leave an up and coming team like Winnipeg, For laughable Ottawa. No way he commits long term with that team.

 

[Halla]

If Ottawa had Trouba already agreeing to a long term deal at 6 per or something this is actually not bad

having 18mil tied up on RD isnt ideal but peg could so a gardiner for myers swap or something

Morrisey-Karlsson
Gards-Buff

thats scary if you think about how good their forward core is

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

He immediately gets top priority among their defense something he's never got in wpg with byfuglien/myers at rd

Bottom line, Trouba isn't leaving a contending team for a cellar dweller of a team in Ottawa.

 

[JetsHomer]

Why would the Jets pay significantly to add Karlsson when they already have Buff on the blueline. Makes no sense

 

[Alan Wake]

Didn't know Karlsson picked up a summer job.

Lmao, this whole situation made me laugh harder than it should have...

 

[not a troll]

#65 is being re-signed for 8 years by the Ottawa Senators.

Is he going to pull out another loan to pay Karlsson or is he going to offer Karlsson Uber credits?

 

[God King Fudge]

Well, that's a new rumor to me. You have rewarded me for checking this thread again.

New to me as well. I doubt that it's from a valid source.

 

[The CyNick]

You are a perfect example of why people hate Leaf fans.

Because I know more than everyone else about the game? That's a poor reason to hate on someone.

 

[The CyNick]

I wouldn’t call 29 aging, but I think it would be wiser to trade for a younger guy if you’re moving Nylander. You’d probably prefer a guy who is 26ish.

I would prefer a lot of people over PK. But I also have no interest in a Nylander for D swap. Even a 26 year old.

More than fair. I’d hang onto him myself. Maybe one of Brown, Kapanen, Hyman plus a first could land a good dman.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

Wouldn't do PK for Nylander straight up from a Leafs perspective, so easy pass.

Never trade a skilled forward for an aging D man.

"aging"

The employee that did that deserves a raise

Not just a raise, a promotion.

 

[Got One Cup]

Just checking to see where he is going this week. Next week it will be Detroit.

Would be kinda awesome to see stuff like this pop up more

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

The LCBO apologizing to Sens fans is a bit of a joke

 

[Got One Cup]

Most 3 way trade proposals on here are geared heavily toward the OPs team but this one isn’t bad. Good job OP.

 

[Afterburner]

Just checking to see where he is going this week. Next week it will be Detroit.

I got Jets throwing Troobs at Ottawa in some blockbuster mega trade. Week after that it's Montreal with Bergy throwing in some purple pants to seal the deal.

2018 pal. Oh shoot sorry, "pal" was a bit presumptuous. I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to all parties involved. Something something sensitivity training something something.

Unlikely. The market for D is insane. Only a few hockey execs have come around to the line of thinking I pioneered a couple years ago that D isn't that important to success. Once more execs realize my way is the way to go you will see the market of D collapse. But right now I see D like Nortel stock at its peak. Pople who invest will be shirtless in a few years.
