Friedman: Stars could be stealth team on Erik Karlsson

[stempniaksen]

Didn't Karlsson say he's not signing anywhere until July 1, 2019? He's not getting traded. Dorion probably really wants to keep him this season anyway.

No

No

I thought I saw it posted on here somewhere, must have been fan speculation...Oh well.

Canucks could be a stealth team on Noah Hanafin.


What's up with fried eggs and saying stealth team all the time now?

Eugene Melnyk probably thinks Jason Spezza is the franchise center his team needs.

Lol, take a look at Spezza's salary. Guaranteed Spezza is not the centre Melnyk thinks the sens need

Start a little inconsequential spark here and distract people, while you start a major fire elsewhere. Not a bad tactic, if that's the case.

Sarcasm??

"Trade and sign" if you prefer. Dorion has orchestrated the last two (Turris and Burrows) so it's not a huge stretch to think he could do the same with Karlsson.

Pure coincidence if he does and "orchestrated" is a bit much on the Turris one, considering Dorion had nothing to do with the contract he signed with the Preds.

In fact, Turris and EK are 2 completely different scenarios. Kyle was offered a 2C job on a contending team with one of the strongest reputation right now. If he didn't accept the Preds might just as well found a new center some other way closing the door on Turris moving forward. There was a lot of incentive for Turris to sign right away and on paper it looked like a really good fit.

EK is a superstar who every team in the NHL drools after. Chances he's not going to use his right to explore FA on his own are much smaller than a guy like Turris.
