Friedman: Karlsson trade talks picking up, Vancouver interested

[Zibanejbread]

Here we go again... I wonder how long this thread is going to drag on for this time.

 

[Kranix]

I'll wait for Jaymarshybosco93 to weigh in. Thanks tho

 

[Gordian Knot]

Sedins retired - didn’t Ottawa get the news?

 

[Hobocop]

There is also a belief.

 

[Agalloch]

Karlsson to Nashville for PK Subban !

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Aquilini and Benning will sacrifice the next 15 years for a couple years of making the playoffs, so with that in mind, here is what we can expect:

Boeser/Hughes
Lind/Dahlen/Woo/Gaudette
2nd round pick

OR

Demko
1st round pick 2019
Lind/Dahlen/Woo/Gaudette

OR

Horvat
1st round pick 2019
Lind/Dahlen/Woo/Gaudette

OR

Pettersson
1st round pick 2019


In any scenario, we screw up our future for a chance at the playoffs in the next few years.

Vancouver's only slightly better off than Ottawa right now, doubt Karlsson goes there.

 

[LeafFever]

Vancouver makes zero sense. Their ownership clearly disaproves of a proper rebuild.

Incoming 50 page thread where nothing happens and Karlsson reports to training camp in Ottawa.

Without an extension I'd guess:

Juolevi
Virtanen
1st (top 5 protected, rolls over to unprotected 2020 1st)
b level prospect


That's the most I could see for 1 year of EK

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Quinn + Jack is a decent return

 

[bernmeister]

I can see it now. Vancouver trades a bunch of youth for him, he walks in a year.

Which is why no Vanc deal
UNLESS
it is a bigger deal, and EK can be flipped as a rental to recover what they lay out

Again, % wise, not happenin

 

[CupofOil]

Colorado would be a mighty good fit...

Them and Dallas are the best fits. They have the assets to get it done, the desperate need for a #1 Dman for what seems like forever (Edit: Forgot about Klingberg, Ugh) and are destinations that will likely be attractive for Karlsson due to location and close to being a contender.
Vancouver makes no sense. This is Friedman throwing shit against the wall again.

I was thinking UNLESS

Vancouver management does something incredibly stupid.

Which wouldn't surprise me one bit.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Minor detail emerges.

Let's post a new thread!!!!

I believe the old one was closed if I remembered incorrectly then I apologize.

It would surprise me.
top dollar for EK only is a no brainer no.

a package which discounts EK somewhat is logical
however, still room to miscalculate and ef up
and that would have 'nucks relying on getting at least what they ponied up for him, just to break even

too much risk
not enough actual potential reward for a team becoming competitive but not competing for Stanley this yr to take 1 yr only no certainty he extends - likely tests market

 

[Notsince67]

Wow...a RHD to the Canucks
Ok...back to Tanev to Toronto for a 1st+ Leivo.
Rinse and repeat

You wouldn't trade Demko, this years 1st, and Woo for Karlsson? If you can add one of the top 5 DMen in the league without losing Petterson, Hughers, Boeser or Horvat, you take that deal and run.

 

[viper0220]

I wonder what Elliotte Friedman was doing in the back

 

[mouz135]

The bait is being taken lol.

"50 pages"

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

I still think Vegas is the most likely destination. They have the need, the cap space and could remain contenders with Eriksson. Eriksson would also be not only the #1D but the star of the franchise and probable captain.

If not Tampa then anywhere West is fine.

 

[BigFatCat999]

The only way this could make sense is if Vancouver is a conduit for a 3 way.

 

[kanucks25]

Vancouver doesn't have the assets to trade for Karlsson unless he is signed (because we can't afford to lose him for nothing) and Ryan is involved (his cap dump to lower the price).

Even then, don't know if it makes sense to include Pettersson or Boeser in any deal in which we get significantly older.

If this actually happens, feels like it'll be a trade that one fan base absolutely hates.
