Friedman: Karlsson IS Willing to Extend in Canada

[jetsforever]

"it is not accurate that he is unwilling"

Who talks like this?

How about Erik Karlsson has confirmed that he is willing to sign in Canada long-term?

I thought that language was messy as well - maybe it's directly how Karlsson phrased it and Friedman didn't want to change his words?

 

[Kranix]

Has Strickland answered for his tweet?

 

[jetsforever]

If that is the case IMHO IF IF IF Ottawa is willing, I'd REALLY like to see Toronto touch base here.

Nylander+ for EK if he is willing to resign in Toronto.

Hes the absolute perfect RD they are looking for.

They'd be a ****ing powerhouse.

It would be crazy if EK landed in Toronto but they'd need to give up a LOT more than Nylander for a signed Karlsson.

 

[Tavares to Marner]

Nylander, 1st, Sandin for EK

 

[These Are The Days]

As a hockey fan, I would love to see what McDavid could do with EK, and what EK could do with McDavid.

Make it happen Chiarelli.

*gasp*

Mother of God.... this might be the moment I see an actual "yes" to a hypothetical RNH trade. And all it took was Karlsson

Well that and I doubt Toronto fans would relish the idea of having to give up Nylander/Marner ++ for an extended Karlsson.

You telling me Kap/leivo/bracco and 2nd doesn't get it done?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Sell the farm for him if he will extend.

Nylander
1st 2019
Liljegren
+ + ?

Top young roster player, top prospect, 1st, a few smaller pieces I assume. I doubt a team can match that in value.

I was banking on Kapanen and Gardiner damn

tbh I don't think that offer can beaten, maybe I'm biased

Ottawa gets a piece that can jump in right away with tons of potential, a top prospect and a 1st

The Leafs dont need him TBH ,they need to solid Methot style defender...To hold down the fort until the forwards get the puck again

Its a good package ,but its not one i really see Toronto offering

I don't think a team could ever not need a Karlsson lol

if something like that were to happen we'd be instant contenders

That is a fair offer, I don't think you need many ++ to that.

Like you arent in the running without him....Toronto isnt going to win by stacking their blueline,they are going to win Pittsburgh style....Average blueline and holy shit forwards

The dream is alive boys!

man that looks weird

 

[TeamRenzo]

Until he signs long term with another I team I will continue to hope he signs in Ottawa

Haha if some1 offered that he would have been gone 6 months ago. The only teams who would want him would be contenders, no contender is trading a core peice for him, its going to be an underwhelming picks/prospects deal.

 

[Gordian Knot]

man that looks weird

Yup. He started to play left suddenly.

 

[Notsince67]

Well that and I doubt Toronto fans would relish the idea of having to give up Nylander/Marner ++ for an extended Karlsson.

Kapanen + a 1st should do it

 

[CanadienShark]

Not an Oilers fan, but wouldn't mind seeing Karlsson in Edmonton. Him and McDavid together would be special to watch.

Somebody who doesnt have any real information and doesn't want to say anything concrete because he just makes stuff up and doesn't want to be called out on it.

And it works.

 

[Breakers]

The wording of this tweet almost gave me a stroke.


"Its true that I said it's false about the correct nature of the unverifiable thing I just said.

 

[jrs]

Karlsson/Morrissey would literally be the sexiest pairing in the whole league

 

[Mr Positive]

Friedman's tweet is vague enough that it could mean that he will not sign an extension with Canadian teams in a trade, but that he would re-sign in Ottawa. I think Ottawa might be a part of Canada.
