TSN: Sharks and Oilers have re-engaged on Erik Karlsson

[Pinkfloyd]

I highly highly doubt it at this point

There's ways to make it work in the offseason but I doubt it as well.

 

[La Bamba]

Campbell, Yamo, Foegele and prospects picks for Karlsson, Reimer and depth forwards

That's what it would have to be and its a pretty terrible trade for the Sharks, but I'd do it in a second.

Campbell isn't waiving to go to San Jose. Yamamoto, Foegele, and Ceci for Karlsson is probably the baseline when it comes to cap.

Still wouldn't work for the Oilers without retention.

At this point I'd do that just to get it done. Karlsson doesn't want to be here, we don't want him ruining our draft position, he would be a great offensive replacement for Barrie in EDM.

He doesn't have a full NMC. 10-team NTC, I believe.

I’d add Borgault, 2024 1st, 2023 2nd and a prospect of your selection for the man and taking all of that trash lol

There's no way San Jose isn't on that list.

Sharks would definitely be retaining. Just a matter of how much.

I'd retain too. But it wouldn't be more than 30% if both forwards are coming back. I just want EK gone

 

[Regal]

There's no way San Jose isn't on that list.

Hard to say. I could see a player leaving a good weather city off their list even if they’re not competitive.

 

[pth2]

I think SJ just missed its window of opportunity to move out Karlsson.

 

[Mr Positive]

Hard to say. I could see a player leaving a good weather city off their list even if they’re not competitive.

Plus even when you list off bottom teams there's a bunch he'd put there before Sj.

Before the deadline you mean, probably.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Hard to say. I could see a player leaving a good weather city off their list even if they’re not competitive.

For someone that willingly signed with a Canadian team, I would bet the no-trade list is either tax-based or competition-based. Either of those instances put San Jose among those ten teams most likely.

 

[Mr Positive]

I think SJ just missed its window of opportunity to move out Karlsson.

Well maybe it was just better for the offseason. I could see a team about to age out like Pittsburgh finding a way

Edmonton can still do this. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, like Grier said lol. Get the Sharks to retain, pull any side deals required for cap reasons, and spare no expense with the remaining picks/prospects. If Holland pulled it off, it would be one of the greatest trade deadlines of all time by a GM. It really isn’t unrealistic either. They can get it done if they want to; there’s still plenty of time left to iron something out. It’s actually more doable from a cap standpoint than it was 24 hours ago.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

I think Grier f***ed himself over royally. One injury and they will be stuck with that caphit for the remainder of that contract.

 

[themelkman]

Edmonton isnt going to deal another first probably so this is dead in the water

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Kind of weird noone wants EK guess rhe gm’s don’t read the karlsson threads on here and know better

 

[Pavelski2112]

Kind of weird noone wants EK guess rhe gm’s don’t read the karlsson threads on here and know better

It's not about want, it's about the ability to pull it off cap-wise

 

[caymanmew]

Probably just to hard to do it during the season, it was always a bit of a pipe dream for him to be traded mid-season

It seemed like it was prime time to move EK with the season he’s having. Not sure you’ll ever get the same value now.

I've noticed that too. They've cleaned the roster up getting rid of fodder. I'm terrible at math, but it looks like they have 2m in cap now. Wouldn't Yam, Foegele, Bouchard + picks & maybe another player for Karlsson + at like 30% + Gregor or something balance out fairly easily? Campbell doesn't even need to be included and I'm not sure what's so complicated about getting a deal like that done.
