I expect something in the range of $5mx2 coming back and a bit of retention, but if Orlov thinks he can get 8... who knows what is going to happen here.4 more years at 11.5 per….be ready to retain as most teams who will want him are not going to have much room to fit him in unless another big contract goes back.
If the sharks get a decent return for him then I have no problems taking back a shorter term anchor in the process.4 more years at 11.5 per….be ready to retain as most teams who will want him are not going to have much room to fit him in unless another big contract goes back.
Karlsson wants to compete. I can't imagine he waives for Montreal right now.Gallagher + Edmundson + 31
Doubt Gallagher waives though
Takes two to tango on this. It's understandable why a team would balk at the contract but retention will soften that landing for them. It's whether they're willing to actually fork over real assets to get something done. It's not as if Edmonton's offer was all that great to begin with and I'm sure the Sharks will still end up landing a similar deal anyway.

Depends on what you believe but it was thrown out there that an offer was Bouchard, Bourgault, Puljujarvi, Barrie, and a 1st for Karlsson with retention. I'm not convinced that Montreal is ready for that sort of attempt but I'd be willing to move him there if Montreal was willing to part with something worthwhile and Karlsson was willing. For me, I'm only dealing with who Karlsson would approve going to. Last thing the Sharks need is a lingering Karlsson thing after the season he had. He's earned a trade off the team and the Sharks need to make it work even if it means taking less than expected.What was the Oilers offer?
I do think Karlsson would waive for Montreal. He loved being in Ottawa and he had a fun rivalry with Subban in those days. RHD is Montreal's biggest hole and allstar level EK could get them into the playoffs, especially if they add PLD and a goalie as well.
Guhle-Karlsson
Matheson-Savard
Xhekaj-Barron
Harris-Kovacevic

That's all well and good from a team-building perspective, but is ownership willing to swallow that pill considering costs?Like...Sharks need a full rebuild. They should just retain half and get a monster package. That cap is gonna be pretty useless for them the next few years anyway.

If they keep him while not competing they are basically spending 40m on nothingTough sell to get an owner to spend 20 million on nothing over the next 4 years
