Well, if 88 million rumour was true, i think Karlsson biting his elbows right now. Good luck for getting this money in july.

Responding in kind to the posters who not only cite +/- but project it over a season.plus minus...reallly?

Karlsson will still get his money, even if he has a down year. At least a few teams will look at his career over one season, and one of them will pay up.
Let's not get carried away after 14 games on a new team.
Remember two years ago when Kopitar scored 12 goals and 52 points in 76 games and everyone thought his days of superstardom were done? Or when Giroux scored 58 points in 82 games and everyone said he would never recover from all those injuries?
Since those down-year seasons:
Kopitar: 98 points in 95 games
Giroux: 119 points in 97 games
He'll get money, but will he get 8 years at 11 million? Not if he wants to play on a contender because who has room realistically, and I think a lot has to do with how this season goes.
I agree that he'll get paid, no doubt, but he could very well have already turned down the biggest deal he'll be offered. In the end what's a few million dollars on dozens of millions though, especially when you have a shot to win the cup as well.
Umm...no.
Did the poster mention 5 years and I just missed it?In 5 years? possibly
Karlsson has had 2 major injuries (achilles, broken foot)

As I posted in another thread, 8 years at 11 million dollars isn't the same in every city.
For example, Karlsson could sign for 7 years for 65 million in Tampa and take home the same amount after taxes as he would with the Ottawa offer.
Take a look at these two scenarios:
Option 1:
• Karlsson signs the 8 year $88 million contract in Ottawa. His take home on that deal would be $41,190,000.
• At 37, Karlsson then signs his retirement contract in Ottawa for 2 years and 12 million dollars. His take home on that deal would be about 6.7 million.
• Over 10 years in Ottawa before he retires at 39, Karlsson would make about 48 million dollars after taxes.
Option 2:
• Karlsson signs a 7 year $66.5 million contract in Tampa (9.5 AAV). His take home on that deal would be $42,135,000.
• At 36, Karlsson then signs his retirement contract in Tampa for 3 years and 18 million dollars. His take home on that deal would be about 11.4 million.
• Over 10 years in Tampa before he retires at 39, Karlsson would make about 53.5 million dollars after taxes.
And that doesn't even factor in contract structure.
While on paper it might end up looking like Karlsson turned down a bigger deal, in real money, he most likely didn't.
Honestly can't even understand why there's a salary cap when Ottawa is one of the 3 highest taxed cities to play in? Why would a free agent ever choose to sign here? When you could make sooo much more playing somewhere like Florida, Nashville, Tampa or any of the other low tax cities. Not to mention the weather, lifestyle, etc.
