I wonder if No Trade or No Move clause is in the contract.

There is a full NMC for all 8 years.

Doug Wilson is a a phenomenal GM... the caps rising and the NHL is set for a new USA TV deal in 21, that will push the cap up substantially... it’s probably 105-110 in five years

Not just that but I think you’ll see Ivan Chekhovich crack the Sharks top nine and put up 40-50Pts as a rookie... 750K cap hit

AND doug wilson likely gets some picks back through some trades (braun..etc). So, yes, things look good for the sharks organization, for now.

Whoever said this is immediately the worst contract in the NHL has never heard of Corey Perry.

 

[Limekiller]

As a Sharks fan, I have zero issues with this contract. Burns + Karlsson is the Sharks version of Pronger + Neidermayer. Yes, obviously there's some risk with the term, but you're delusional if you thought EK was going to sign ANYWHERE for less than 7 years. I saw what a healthy Karlsson could do on this team once their chemistry finally gelled, and he was absolutely insanely good during that stretch, until he first hurt his groin shortly before the ASG. If the Sharks finally win a cup within the next 2-3 years, I doubt any Sharks fan will complain one bit about potential cap difficulties 5+ years on. Keeping EK maximizes the Sharks' chance of winning the cup, certainly in the short term. So yeah, go Doug Wilson.

Jones until 2024
Burns until 2025
Vlasic until 2026
Karlsson until 2027

Forwards will probably be okay. If two or three of these guys regress badly before UFA, it could cripple the team due to the cap.

Jones can regress?

Better hope EK hasn't passed his peak and that they get some forwards to replace their older guys. Otherwise this is all moot.

 

[tardigrade81]

Ya well we signed Duclair. Beat that.

So basically what they’ve been doing the last 15 years...

I dont get it! Why Karlsson did that? I dont see the fit for him in SJ. I could be the main asset elsewhere for the same money or more.

Sharks paid full blown retail.

 

[Alwalys]

I mean they were almost in the final just this season with him at like 50%

I'll give you 92 million reasons why he did that.

 

[GoldenSeal]

Sharks need to win the Cup now. I know there are far worse contracts but this is far too long for a guy who is teetering on the edge towards decline.

 

[GoldenSeal]

I mean they were almost in the final just this season with him at like 50%

Considering how many goals were scored in the playoffs with him on the ice, I'd argue the Sharks might have made it to the Finals without him.

 

[LeftHeartInSF]

We want to win now. Like every team should be trying to do.

If you think our GM who has fielded a playoff team 14 of the last 15 seasons can't fix the roster in 3-4 years to keep them competitive, you are fooling yourself. That is what he does and always has done.

 

[WSS11]

I mean they were almost in the final just this season with him at like 50%

He was definitely at less than 50% especially once the blues series started. At times it looked like he was riding a scooter propelling himself with only one skate.

They still need a goalie.

 

[joestevens29]

I just saw this. Does Karlsson get more on the open market? Guy seemed to really hit the jackpot.

I just hope now that SJ gives him the time to heal. If it's most of the year then so be it.

 

[IslesNorway]

SJ better hope there'll be the chance of an amnesty buyout or two coming in the space of the next 5-6 years...

 

[Voight]

So basically what they’ve been doing the last 15 years...

Not really... what impact forwards have they added... Meier, Hertl and Couture? None of which are franchise type forwards.

Very soon Jumbo will be gone, Pavelski is already starting on the downturn and even Couture is already 30. Basically, at least half their core is 30+ and they couldnt even win when these guys were younger/in their primes.
