Erik Karlsson (Part 5)

[Lebanezer]

I would give an injured EK65 the max if he demanded that PDB and co. be let go.
Okay coach, but does not give guys like Pavelski/Thornton/et al the best chance to win a cup.

I would not be surprised if this type of thing actually happens.

DW: "Pete just got off the phone with Karlsson's agent. He said he will take a big discount if we get a better PP coach."
PDB: "Forget it"

 

[hohosaregood]

At this point, is there any team out there that's gonna be willing to sign EK65 for what he wants after an injury-riddled season like this? I think that's gonna play to our advantage. Like it was with Thornton after the knee injury, the Sharks know the most about what's going on with him and he can get proper treatment here without much concern about extraneous factors.

PDB: Braun shows a lot of PP potential. Maybe Sorensen at the point.

 

[Mafoofoo]

PDB: "Forget it"

PDB: Well if Melker is willing to do that for the team, I'm fine with that
DW: I'm talking about Erik
PDB: Then no. Steve's staying.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Yeah TBH I feel like he's re-signing here. Do you really think DW is going to not do everything to make it happen?

 

[Sharksfan83]

I'm glad I'm not in DW's position. It's either home run or clear miss when working out this contract with EK

 

[Anomie2029]

I think he leaves, taking less than what was offered to stay in San Jose.

It doesn’t matter if karlsson doesn’t want to be here, I think he’s out personally for less money but the chance to go out east and play in a system that suits him better

I know there is literally no chance of it happening, but I’d love to sign Karlsson for one year. Sort of a sorry I was useless for over the half the season contract, let’s try this again, that also lets him (hopefully) reestablish his dominance next year when healthy so he can truely cash in the year after, with us or someone else.

 

[McCoy]

Karlsson is not better than Burns. This whole year basically showed EK65 is injury prone and is hella lazy on defense.

Thought he are better than Burns !!!!

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I think he leaves, taking less than what was offered to stay in San Jose.

I think you're half right. I think he leaves but still signs with the highest bidder regardless of if the team is a contender or not.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Any info on his injury? Just curious. Thanks.

 

[Used As A Shield]

Any info on his injury? Just curious. Thanks.

His groin is mia.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Any info on his injury? Just curious. Thanks.

No idea. Both the Sharks organization and EK65 are pretty tight lipped about stuff.

 

[Captain Lindy]

His groin is mia.

That's what I thought. Thanks. I was worried it was his foot which would have been a disaster for him.

Yes, during the playoffs injuries are considered top secret classified information.

 

[TexasShark]

That's what I thought. Thanks. I was worried it was his foot which would have been a disaster for him.

have you seen how he's been playing...his groin's a pretty big deal too

 

[Kegsey]

I'm okay with game 5 being Karl's last game in teal. I feel like Heed would've been better in all areas this series. Heed always looks great on the 2nd PP too.

 

[RickyHP]

You have to think that ek65 requests a coach that would implement a system that benefits him a little more, if he stays. I would welcome that, as it would probably benefit brent burns even more too.

 

[SjMilhouse]

Any player who can't adapt to a coaches system or demands the system be changed around him isn't worth keeping. Hockey is a team game, this isnt f***ing basketball

 

[Alwalys]

Tbh our goalie is probably a bigger factor than the coach.

 

[Friday]

Bye EK we hardly knew ye

 

[tealzamboni]

I think it'd benefit guys like Hertl, Couture, Labanc, and Kane. But letting those guys roam could be a detriment to slower guys like Pavelski and Thornton. I think that's one thing the coaches have had to juggle.

Just no. Heed would not have been better in all areas - ridiculous especially considering Karlsson is equal second on points on the team with 16.
Should have Heed played Game 5 yes, but its ridiculous to say that he would have been better this series.
