Friedman: Oilers and Sharks discussed Erik Karlsson

[MMC]

12. I don’t think it ever got to Erik Karlsson, but I do think the Oilers and Sharks had legit conversations about the revitalized defender.

How vaguely do teams talk to each other about topics...

 

[La Bamba]

The Sharks would have to take Barrie and a couple of bad contracts (Pulju, Foegele) to make it work. Plus retain on Karlsson. Long-shot, don't see it working.

It would be interesting to see how many points Karlsson would rack up feeding McDrai & Co. and with Nurse eating the toughest defending minutes. He would look like a modern-day Paul Coffey

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

LOL

 

[Spawn]

It's virtually impossible to think of a way to make any such deal work cap wise.

The Oilers had interest in Klingberg in the summer and interest in Karlsson as well apparently. It's perplexing with Barrie and Bouchard already on the roster lol.

 

[Larry Hanson]

The Sharks retaining long term and eating a bunch of 1-2yr cap coming back?
If they wanted 3 first round picks before I can't imagine how much the ask would be in that scenario.

Foegele and Pulijarvi are deadweight, and I'm not even sure of Barrie's value. Those picks are likely to be quite low in the first; seems like the Sharks need another good asset coming back. On top of that, it seems like taking Yamamoto back would be a no-brainer? Big contract, doesn't seem to be finding his game in Edmonton (granted, I'm just stat-watching).

Yamo for Noah Gregor would have to be included for cap purposes

I think that should be enough to free the Sharks of the bulk of that contract. They dumped Brent Burns for nothing and retained 2.7M in comparison

I'd do it. I wanna see a D man clear 110 points in a season

How many points would Mcdavid get if he played this full season on defence...

Karlsson in
McDavid out, 1.5M retained.

Problem solved?

WOW!

What an absolute pile of trash for an elite dman.

As a neutral fan, I would love to see this happen. Would be pretty damn exciting.

Oilers lose 2 first rounders... to an old player. Sharks would be stupid to not say yes.

WOW!

What an absolute pile of trash for an elite dman.

Ok. Sit with that contract for years to come. Be my guest. No 1st rounders for you then.

 

[5cotland]

Are you going to give NYR 2x 1st rounders for Karlsson?

I dont know how the Sharks benefit from that.

Which elite dman are you referring to?

You’re kinda right… but those contracts expire after next season. Does that line up with San Jose’s rebuild? They will at least help you get a better draft position

He already does look like a modern day Paul Coffey

Sharks are at 50 contracts so they'd have to add one going the other way like a Jeffrey Viel. That along with putting Kunin on LTIR should give them enough space to make the deal happen.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

i think Karlsson would be a big mistake for EDM even if they could somehow fit him in

 

[Sasha Orlov]

This would be so f***ing stupid for Edmonton


Basically a done deal then

So you add another piece that has no value? AND we take on cap. This is trash.

Karlsson @ 9.5 for Barrie, Pulju, Petrov or Bourgault, 23 1st, conditional 25 1st (you make it to the conference finals either of 24 25 the first transfers, otherwise it’s a 3rd in 25)

To Shorks:

-Campbell
-Barrie
-3 1sts

To Edm:

-Karlsson
-Reimer

Looks like an ugly trade for both sides.
