Of course they do with that Bobrovski contract.

Bob and Hornqvist and Samskovich for Karlsson, no retention?

Might be a bit tough for a trade like this. For Karlsson, they wqill want prospects on top of taking Bob, and/or picks. I don't know a lot about Samskovich though, so I am not sure if he is the one that mnoves that needl.e

Our best prospect scoring at a 1.25 point per game as a sophomore at Michigan.
My view is this: the contracts are horrendous. Hornqvist needs to go back for Florida to be under the cap but San Jose saves a lot of space and money.
Karlsson would be an upgrade over Staal.
Doesn't Bob have full trade protection?
Why would he want to go from a probable playoff team in a tax free state to a non-playoff team in the state with the worst taxes in the country?

Bob would have to be part of the deal and he is a 4yr commitment with 20-30M in real dollars. Not sure why SJ would want any part of that without some really nice pieces coming back. Question is, what nice pieces? Zito has already traded away all of their 1sts, do they gut their prospect pool too?

I think this is one of those things where, It won't happen this season, but you lay the seeds now and then if it comes to fruition it'll be next summer when the Panthers free up all that dead cap space.
Assuming this rumor has any merit.

Not sure how they could get this to work. Bob obviously would have to be involved, he’s got 3yrs left after this season at 10per vs karlsson who still has 4yrs left after this one at 11.5per. Karlsson full NMC during the entire contract, bob a NMC this season and next then switches to a 16NTC in the final two years. And I don’t think the panthers want to lose any more cap than they already do. Maybe if SJ retains 1.5per so they’re essentially paying the same amount but save a year off the contract length by swapping karlsson for bob. With picks and prospects balancing things out? Could throw in a guy like Duclair but it’s not like sj has any cap space either. Horn would be nice to move for this season but I don’t see it happening and he’ll just come off the books completely this offseason anyways so that’d be a move solely for this season in mind. Yeah I have no idea how they would make this work

I think Florida would have interest in a lot of defensemen out there. They have zero cap space and little moveable expensive pieces though. You arent trading Bob+ for Karlsson mid season.
Bob has total NMC protection for all of this season and all of next season.
Starting in July 2024, he has to submit a list of 16 teams, leaving him exposed to a deal not of his control to the other half of the league in the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons. He has NMC protection against being demoted to the AHL across the full deal.
Not that it matters any. The Sharks wouldn't trade an overpaid player making eight figures and playing well for an overpaid player making eight figures and playing poorly.
Presumably, Florida's interest hinges on heavy retention.

Judging by Grier’s few trades thus far, I would imagine if EK gets moved it’ll be for a lot less value than fans expect.

And name me one reason why either Bob or Hornqvist? Would even consider waiving for the likes of San Jose.

problem is who will sign him to make up what he would lose by contract buyout? Too much of a risk to take that offer and lose out on millions.

Why wouldn't they just buy out Karlsson instead then.
This is eliotte Friedman going... let's see how many clicks I can get from sunrise and San Jose.
This is as realistic as Shooter Mcgavin winning a yellow jacket. Just not gonna happen

Cal Petersen got 5x3 just because the Kings felt like it, plenty of goalie gold to go around
What fans were expecting was completely unrealistic then. With this run, Karlsson's maybe moved his value from deep, deep negative to something like future considerations.

Moving forward Florida has a good situation.
Thanks to the Florida trade they have 15M of dead cap going off the books and no big re-signings left.
But this season? No idea
