All I know is TVR has 50 posts per page on because he's elite.What can I say, TMM, our modern lord and savior, TVR, instructed me to come down upon ye and open a new thread, and who am I to deny the requests of a god amongst men?
Thought there should be a thread for this like last year. Here is some stuff that has come out.
A blueprint for how the Lightning can make room for Erik Karlsson - Sportsnet.ca
Friedman: "I think the question is gonna be: 'does [Karlsson] want to play in Tampa?' and 'do they want to find a way to make it work?'"
Marek: "Do you think Tampa's the only option for him?"
Friedman: "I don't think it's his only option, but if you told me that that was his preferred option, I would see that"
...
Friedman: "I just really believe that if it's up to him, he will try to find a way to play in Tampa."
...
Friedman: "If he's going to go there he's going to have to make it work, right? It's not gonna be 11 million a year. Hedman makes 7.875, it's gonna be around there or less"
If Karlsson comes in and makes less than Hedman, We better prepare for the impending **** storm from the Main Boards.

IF he does come to TB he eint gonna making less than Hedman.If Karlsson comes in and makes less than Hedman, We better prepare for the impending **** storm from the Main Boards.
To give us more time to plan....Why would Karlsson tweet that (it's definitely a goodbye) so soon?
I don't want to sign EK, but if it happens, I'm fine with anywhere below 9. Anything more is a complete disaster.
Karlsson made it clear he’s curious about the process, which could force the Sharks to change priorities. It is widely believed he’d like to see if Tampa Bay can make it work. Last summer, then-GM Steve Yzerman pursued John Tavares even though that looked impossible. Is there any reason Julien BriseBois would think differently?
One difference between the Tavares and EK sweepstakes is Tavares was from Toronto. There was appeal to not only take a bunch of money but be a home town hero for his childhood, legacy franchise.From Friedman's blog. This really does seem like it's simply going to come down to how big of a discount he's willing to take to play with Hedman

Karlsson can get 8-years as long as he doesn't hit free agency, so TB could trade for his rights before July 1 and sign him for 8-years.I might be mistaken (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) but the SJS are no longer able to table the 8th year. That alone just totaled anywhere from $9-12 million. If that is correct then that is a substantial discount already for the sake of even getting to test the market. The only factor bigger than losing salaries is going to be what Point takes on his bridge and the good news is he just wants to stick around and has said he's open to either a bridge or long term deal. I agree with DFC. That tweet felt like "goodbye" and God knows Karlsson's already palled around with our players enough and the rumors have it we were his preferred destination and he was readily willing to extend with us.
We just gotta let it play out. I will be the least surprised person in the world if he signs here and if he doesn't then oh well.
I dont think that's quite right. I think he needs to be on the teams reserve list as of the TDL to sign for 8.Karlsson can get 8-years as long as he doesn't hit free agency, so TB could trade for his rights before July 1 and sign him for 8-years.
