Value of: Erik Karlsson - UFA. Will it happen? Where does he end up?

[Not So Mighty]

There is no chance he re-signs in SJ IMO.

Really? Why?

Personally, I think it's a given at this point that he stays with them. They are going to pay him well, give him the best term, and they are a legitimate contender.

Sorry if you cant find it. Not my fault if RDS/TSN use early 2000s website design.

It's your job to find it since you made the claim. If you can't find it, you're just pulling stuff out of thin air...which let's be real that's what you're doing.

If you say so buddy.

Erik Karlsson is a (much?) better player than Tavares and Stamkos.

Rumors were crazy for Tavares and Stamkos the whole last season before they came due UFA. It's been extremely quiet in regards to Karlsson in comparison.

Why? I know he was just traded, but he hasn't signed yet and if anything - he's likely to have less loyalty to SJ than he would have had with Ott under better circumstances - so i would think his odds of hitting free agency should be quite high.

Do you think he hits free agency? If so who are the top teams in contention, and what offers will he get? What would you offer for him?

Simple...he’s not a Toronto Area Native like the other two...

The media exposure that the Toronto market produces is off the walls, as Hockey is Religon...

So I’d say that’s why there hasn’t been as much coverage. The Leafs have their own players to budget for and aren’t going to pursue him or atleast you’d think.

And that’s not a negative observation or opinion by the way

 

[Lemieuxs]

He will sign with the Penguins this summer.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

If you say so buddy.

I do say so, thanks. You're only making this worse for you with each response because we both know you can't back this up at all. lol

 

[Hierso]

If the Sharks let Karlsson walk they have made a huge error somewhere. On the other hand i would love to watch the free market fight for him since i'm not a Shark fan. If he actually makes it into the market i think every team in the leauge with the means will look into signing him (Excluding Ottowa) and if that happens boy oh boy we are looking at McDavid money.

I think if he wants to get paid he will sign with San Jose. If he wants the best chance to win the Cup he gets paid less and signs with Tampa .

It would have to be wayyyyyy less. Tampa has a cap crunch next year as is.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

All this time responding could've been spent by you either proving your so-far baseless claim correct or acting like an adult and say you were wrong.

 

[Sysreq]

You can’t find it, because you are misremembering the rumor. Per rumor, he wants to play for an American team and isn’t willing to resign in a Canadian market.

He later denied these claims.

 

[Artanis]

Eugene sells == Karlsson comes home.

 

[Not So Mighty]

Playoff result will fix it.
Karlsson said that he would like to back in east coast but , wife and him makes the decision at the end of the day

I used Google. I found this from like months ago, and on this bizarre early 2000s style website.

If Melnyk sells the team i could see him re-signing with Ottawa.

 

[razor ray]

I’ll buck the trend and go with Vegas. 7 years 12 per. I believe they made a play for him in the past and will go all in again.

 

[Hierso]

If Melnyk sells the team i could see him re-signing with Ottawa.

If that happens, will the fans weclome him back? Or will they see him in the light that the leafs fans see Nylander?

Nah his situation is nothing like Nylander. The Sens didnt want to give him a No move clause because Melnyk wanted to trade him and not pay him. The fans will welcome him with open arms.

 

[A91]

Cant see why he would leave the Sharks

Underdog is NJD

 

[MikeK]

That extra year he can get from SJ is a major factor but I've thought all along he would hit the market and sign with Tampa. I think he either re-signs for that extra year payday or leaves and signs in Tampa.

 

[Crazy Joe Divola]

He’s going to the Warriors.

 

[AvatarAang]

He deserves to be back in Ottawa. I can't even see San Jose fans being upset if that happens.
