Speculation: KARLSSON Megathread | Part III | MOD Warning Edition

[Laphroaig]

I believe Dorion blew it when he didn't accept the Vegas offer at the trade deadline. I think that was the best offer we're ever going to get. Vegas would have had Karlsson for two playoff runs and were prepared to pay accordingly. Karlsson is now just a one year rental and his value will continue to diminish the longer Dorion dithers.

What dude McPhee offer at the deadline?

Not Cody Glass.

 

[Ray Kinsella]

My stance.... don’t f***ing trade EK.

 

[Ray Kinsella]

“...just an amazing player that Karlsson, and this shows you just how valuable he is to that Ottawa team...”

I'm gonna attend every home game karlsson plays this season if he makes it past the offseason, once he's gone then I'm not rooting for this team until melnyk is gone... chabot, first rounders in return of EK, tkachuk, and even my dream of a downtown arena wont change that. If he gets partners I will literally still wait for the day he is gone.

Ellis just got signed for an 8 year extension in Nashville for $50 million... and NO, Pierre, Eugene, that is NOT a comparable for Karlsson.

My dentist told me l was funny! I wonder if he meant “funny looking”, or “funny in the head”, or “humorous”.

Like, you are a clown orare you there to amuse him? Funny how? WTF is so funny?

You know, you're just funny.

No, I don't know. You told me I'm funny. Funny how?

Our apparent lowball offer was nearly double this figure.

Karlsson featured prominently in the Senators "3 game pack" ads in today's paper.

Karlsson still being used on the Senators FB page "up coming events" ad for games at the beginning of the season.


Does this mean anything, or nothing?

It's something.

Here's another thing. I just bought a Karlsson Sens jersey and paid with a low-interest credit card. I plan to take 2 years to pay it off at a slow trickle. What does that mean?

It means nothing, EK is the most marketable player on the team, so use him. The fan backlash from the trade deadline and offseason maybe finally made your Uncle Euge realize that keeping EK may actually make him more money than trading him.

Also, who reads the paper anymore??

It means you don't know how to use a credit card to your advantage.

People who want to read in depth articles, on a number of issues, instead of the watered down versions posted online.

Which newspaper publishes those because none of the local ones in Ottawa do.

Aren't the articles in the newspaper the exact same ones that they put online?? What newspaper are you reading?

You're poor?

 

[Flamingo]

You're poor?

I’m smart. If Karlsson walks after this year, I walk away from my credit card and start a new life.

So, um, what the h*ll is Ottawa’s plan here?

I really think that the plan was to trade him and the fan backlash was far far greater than they expected. I really believe that the organization was and probably still is so out of touch with their fanbase that they actually thought that they would be able to pull this off, then pulled a complete 180 once the backlash began. Heck even TSN1200 and Garrioch were out there doing their best to make people believe trading EK was best for this organization. They all failed miserably and now the organization is backtracking and management and the owner is hiding in their bunkers.

This is especially ironic because, in a lot of cases, the articles posted online have more information that the hard-copy paper just can't publish due to a lack of available space.

...but that said, I think this is at least somewhat meaningful. Could be an indication from the organization that they at least expect Karlsson to start the year in a Sens jersey. If we're going to be reading meaning into the org taking down ads with EK, we should be doing the same when the ads start going back into place.

It means that the organization should have used EK to market for full season ticket packages months ago.
