Confirmed with Link: Karlsson mega thread vol 6: five stages of grief edition

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Bryan Murray made some bad decisions in his career as Sens GM, but it's honestly surprising that he accomplished anything considering the state of the team since he passed and how apparent Melnyk's meddling and toxic influence is now that there's no one with the cajones to keep him in check.

Its true. Under BM it felt like we were just a budget team with a crazy owner that flew up and gave a couple interviews a year.

Now he's putting his face out there as if he thinks its what fans want, telling us what we should want and believe and worst of all he's directly involved in hockey personnel decisions that he proves he should have absolutely no hand in every time he opens his mouth.

Nashville got more for girard

Yup the burns ‘n karl show is going to be pretty entertaining. On and off ice

 

[Ray Kinsella]

Wonder who said this

Boro... lol

 

[Ray Kinsella]

Sorry again, but someone had to point out that trading Ryan O'Rielly, with 5 years left on his contract .... is no where near a fair comparison with trading EK65 with 1 year left on his contract ...... was an absurd comparison.

If you continue to make these types of comparisons, without thinking them though, then you're going to have to expect someone to ask for clarification, or point out the shortcomings in your logic.

But, please ......... explain why EK65 with one year should have brought back more that O'Rielly with 5 years ....... we're waiting.

Who's we?

I'm in a 16 team fantasy league. Have the #6 overall pick.

If hes there , I'm gonna take Karl for the monster year hes about to put up.

I'd think the big elite forwards are still the better choices, more so if goals are worth more than assists

Depends on if he has a minimum number of defencemen he needs to draft, I guess.

Minimum number of d then EK should be a top 5 pick 100 percent.

What jersey do you guys see Hossa in? I see him in a Hawks jersey now. It'll be sad if when remembering Karlsson, it's in a different jersey.

Karl may have another 12 years left in his career, but I think a lot of people will remember him in a Sens uniform. They'll definitely remember the way he left Ottawa which will always leave the Sens logo at the front of everyone's mind.

I really hope so. Chara was around the same age as Karlsson when he left Ottawa but he won a cup with Boston and played 11+ seasons there so most people will always associate him with a Bruins jersey.

Remember when the Oilers traded Wayne? They traded him when the team was doing great. They even won another cup without him. To this day, Oilers fans despise Pocklington to this day. All this did was cement Melnyks place in history. At the bottom of the garbage pile.

All I know is EK is as fast as a lightning bolt.

 

[The don godfather]

People have been saying the Sharks window will be over for years now... Doug Wilson just trades for new stars and the Sharks scouts pluck talent from Europe for new depth

It never works for Wilson he has the worst luck come playoff time. Either the ducks knock him out or kings . Now knights up his nose. My guess its the kings this year coming back from 3 games to 1.

Yup, after this, regardless of what happens, Melnyk needs to accept that the majority of the fan base just won't like him even if it's not outright hatred from everyone. No need for more interviews trying to humanize himself and appeal to the fans, that ship has sailed and if he wants to keep owning this team, the best thing he can do is fade in to the background.

People should learn from this. If your significant other leaves you, unfollow them on social media. You will just keep the hurt going and will not heal.

Man I don't think the reality has sunk in yet for me.

I just seen that vid and i just felt sick and felt a huge heartache.

Well at least we know what he was doing on that Toronto bound flight last week

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Well at least we know what he was doing on that Toronto bound flight last week

Why did this happen to our franchise player?

I know the answer, but f***.

 

[DaveMatthew]

Well at least we know what he was doing on that Toronto bound flight last week

I expect a full-court press from the Sharks to get him re-signed, and their batting average is pretty good. Plus, as someone who travels to Palo Alto a lot for work, if you're a multi-millionaire, there aren't many better places to live.

But maybe Alfie's whispering in his ear about that upcoming ownership change!! Hold out for the 1% chance!!

 

[Clayonator]

It's a decent package for a star player probably having a playoff run stopped short of the cup then signs with the islanders for 9 million 8 yrs. Looking forward for norris and balcers to join sens and see what they can do. Bet Tierney surprises and pots 20.plus goals.

Excuse me?
