Erik Karlsson Megathread (All Proposals, Discussion, Speculation, and Rumors) [MOD 3470]

[HanSolo]

If Hague's speed increase is true then I'd rather give up Brannstrom than him, even though he might be seen as an upgrade over offering Hague.

But yeah, even if the price was 1st, 2nd, Brannstrom, Theodore, Clarkson for EK, Ryan then Vegas should be all over that. Throw in Dansk and a 3rd if you want too, Vegas still does that so the ask might be more than that even with taking Ryan.

I've seen it for myself. Hague isn't a speedster by any means now but he no longer looks like he has bricks tied to his feet. He was always in good position when I saw him. He still has work to do before getting to the NHL but he made MASSIVE strides relative to last year.

Also I don't know how certain I am that Vegas necessarily does that. Remember there's no guarantee that EK will re-sign with us. That's a lot of future talent to throw away on a one year trial.

 

[Liver King]

Sens fans will be disappointed just like Sabres fans are with the O'Reilly return.

No shit Sherlock

We're trading the best d-man in the world and best player in franchise history

Disappointed isn't a strong enough word to describe how terrible it is haha

 

[Fvital92]

Im sorry you’re mistaken the best defenseman in the league just re-signed with LA.

lol

 

[AndreRoy]

Karlsson is the best defenseman in the league.

You misspelled “Hedman”.

 

[Daffy]

You misspelled “Hedman”.

No, he/she really didn't.

 

[Liver King]

^lmfao at the bickering between who the best d-man is though

Who cares if it's Karlsson Doughty Hedman

Each guy is elite and (if traded) should get a shit ton in return.

 

[slimbob8]

2019 1st
Nolan Patrick
Sanheim

Yikes

 

[Lundy HOF]

You misspelled “Hedman”.

Only in Hedman’s dreams is he a better D than EK65 lol.

 

[impaaaaaact]

LOL. JUST LOL.
Dobson, 2019 1st, Hosang, 2019 2nd Calgary + 2019 2nd Nyi.

for extended Karlsson? Top ten protect the 2019 first and you've got yourself a deal

 

[mja]

2019 1st
Nolan Patrick
Sanheim

Absolutely no chance we trade Patrick.

We better get a filthy return, I want two young promising roster player and either two great prospects or high picks. If Ryan is included we’re screwed, we should be doing the opposite and acquiring clarkson, hossa contracts for picks/prospects. That costs money though and we don’t have that, it’s how you properly rebuild.

Worst case scenario I want a young top 4 RHD and two great prospects or high picks.. picks are dangerous though.

 

[harrisb]

Blues loading up, Tampa signing mcdonagh, canes made their trades, all the teams that had young talent I was interested in have made their moves. Vegas is the only one left and we’re gonna package Ryan to devalue the trade, sucks to be a sens fan right now

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I still think SJ gets Karlsson. Their offense is already upgraded with Evander Kane, they acquire Karlsson & Bobby Ryan, then flip Ryan to Carolina by sending them something worth it & Carolina does need to stay at salary floor. They send players/prospects/picks to Ottawa for Karlsson which won't be as much cause they took Ryan contract as part of the trade.

 

[Eggtimer]

Not sure how pumped Sens GM is to trade with Wilson after he schooled him on Hoffman trade and flipped him back East

 

[Eggtimer]

Vegas isn’t only team that can take on Ryan along with Karlsson .
Devils could be a fit . Very unlikely as they don’t have the quality and number of bluechip prospects as Vegas but combination of Severson McCleod Quinville Zacha Bratt amd picks might be enough ?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Does Vegas have the cap space to take both Ryan and Karlsson after the moves they made getting Stastny, Holden and re-signing Reaves? Not to mention they have their own RFA’s to take care of.

 

[Seven0two]

Does Vegas have the cap space to take both Ryan and Karlsson after the moves they made getting Stastny, Holden and re-signing Reaves? Not to mention they have their own RFA’s to take care of.

VGK would still have a little over $4m remaining after bringing in Karlsson and Ryan. Of course that doesn’t include the salary that goes out, which could include one or two of the RFAs (Shea Theodore and Colin Miller). There’s also the chance that David Clarkson’s $5m+ could go to Ottawa since it’s insured and would help them reach the cap floor without paying full price. Realistically, VGK will have $8m-$12m remaining to sign William Karlsson and whichever RFA(s) is still around.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Not sure how pumped Sens GM is to trade with Wilson after he schooled him on Hoffman trade and flipped him back East

Considering Dorion said no to Tallon's offer of only picks for Hoffman?

He doesn't care.

If you actually spent time reading you would know this.

 

[islesfan3913]

Wahlstrom Dobson Leddy 2nd for Karlsson/Anderson

Is this a joke?

Leddy is on a sweetheart of a deal and we aren’t trading the two steals we got in the draft, especially for a guy who’s a UFA after next season.

I’d do 2019 1st (top 10 protected, becomes 2020 1st if pick is top 10), 2019 2nd, Ho-Sang, Nelson, Clutterbuck, and Mayfield for Karlsson, Ryan and Anderson.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

for extended Karlsson? Top ten protect the 2019 first and you've got yourself a deal

No way you get pick protection for a signed Karlsson. Come on.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Barrie + Ottawa 1st + Colorado 1st + Ottawa 3rd + Timmins for Karlsson (unsigned) and Stone.

 

[tucker3434]

So does Neal signing in CGY say anything about this situation? I figured if he signed in Vegas the Karlsson deal was dead but signing elsewhere could just mean he was tired of waiting.

 

[Bonzo111]

Barrie + Ottawa 1st + Colorado 1st + Ottawa 3rd + Timmins for Karlsson (unsigned) and Stone.

Oh man

 

[Daffy]

Barrie + Ottawa 1st + Colorado 1st + Ottawa 3rd + Timmins for Karlsson (unsigned) and Stone.

Lmfao

 

[Chaos2k7]

No, Tallon stated that he never offered the picks package to OTT that he did to SJ, Dorion wanted roster players.

Tallon said no, and negotiated a better deal with SJ.

Then Dorion came out and said he is old school, and doesnt like to trade within the division. So he took a worse deal and saw the player come back to the division anyways.
