Rumor: Karlsson goes to Tampa..Tor vs TPA allstar games

[jrgtml67]

If this happens and sounds close by a lot of the chatter on twitter itll be like watching an allstar game when these 2 meet.

Us JT and them Karlsson ...wow Boston has fallen way down in my opinion they've done nothing. Have an aged Chara and Beregon. Yes they have young talent but also lost Schaller this summer.

Next yr is going to be fun

Could be a game changer. Tampa we'll be anchored by two guys with wonky legs/ankles.

May just turn a competitive rivalry into a one sided affair when they have $20M in the press box.

McDonagh - EK
Hedman - Stralman
Sergachev - Foote

Damn, that is a f***ing scary ass d-corps. Wow!!

Unbelievable.

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Even with Karlsson, Tampa doesn't scare me

Shaky goaltending and overrated forwards. They have to give up assets just for a 1 year rental
I'd still worry more about Boston

 

[MattySnipes]

Unbelievable.

I hope he doesn't go there man. Hopefully they send him out west. Tampa has a great package though of prospects and a lot to offer the Sens so you never know, Dorion might just be that stupid and trade him in the same division.

He won't be a rental. There will be an extension signed obviously.

Their goalie was a Vezina finalist, Kucherov is top 3 in scoring in the past 2 years and they would essentially have two top 3 D on their team.

I get that we're Leafs fans, but if they managed to get EK, it would be EXTREMELY uphill for us to beat them.

Let's wait and see.

Not uphill. They just are our biggest threat to get out of the East. We will be the 2 favourites.

If that happens, Toronto and Tampa will be running the East for years to come.

That's f***ing nasty.

I imagine they give up a guy like Foote in the process of acquiring Karlsson, though - Can't get a piece like that for nothing.

Sergachev and Foote won't be there, if the trade EK there, one or both of them will be included. Also, Ottawa will ask for Point on top of that, I can't imagine a package not including him, unless Dorian is drunk lol

 

[jrgtml67]

Apparently lightning fans are smoking something they think they can keep

Stamkos Kucherov Hedman Mcdonagh Vase and Karlsson lol

Yet apparently we cant sign 3 players the 4th JT is signed

 

[LeafFever]

Not sure if MCdonagh was a smart signing.

 

[phillipmike]

Clearly you dont know Dorian. Final deal will probably be EK for Killorn, Callahan and any other salary Tampa doesnt want.

Well good luck to them fitting Karlsson under the cap especially since they're close to the cap already

That's the way it works in these parts.
JT would not have gone to Tampa due to the fact his signing would have cost them a player.

 

[Yamazaki]

Hopefully they give up Sergachev, point and a 1st

 

[MattySnipes]

Very likely.

Along with first round picks, they also have:

1. Katchouk (LW)
2. Raddysh (RW)
3. Foote (RD)
4. Cirelli (C)

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Not sure if MCdonagh was a smart signing.

Signing looks even worse if their target was Karlsson all along

I know they want to re-sign Stralman and Kucherov is a RFA after this season and they're already going to have cap problems getting that done.

 

[Dr.Funk]

Very likely.

Along with first round picks, they also have:

1. Katchouk (LW)

FYI Tampa does not have a 2019 1st rounder

I think they look pretty offensively but their defense will be their weakness
Also, my opinion is that some of their players peaked last season
