Is this guy legit?

 

[FlameChampion]

What does Dallas even have to offer?

Surely they wouldnt trade Heiskanen?

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

God I hope so. After missing out on all the free agency talent we need a big offensive punch. Also wouldn’t mind having Karlsson and Klingberg out there all game long.

 

[NYR94]

Benn-Seguin-Radulov with Karlsson and Klingberg on the ice at the same time would be pretty sick.

 

[Ser Grogu]

No Ryan means the return is Heiskanen+?

 

[Tralfamadore]

Heiskanen would have to be involved. Next years 1st. What else??

 

[Rolo]

Why? They need secondary scoring forwards. As of right now they have Nichuskin, Ritchie, Janmark, Spezza, Hanzal, Shore, Faksa as their "secondary" guys..

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

No Ryan excites me.

But Dallas is meh. No one I really want from them

Karlsson is pretty good secondary scoring at 60-70 points.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I'm pretty surprised to be honest. Why would Dallas give up massive value when Klingberg plays pretty much the same role? Sure Karlsson is much better, but they have other holes they need filled

 

[MXD]

....SPEZZA. lol.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

No Ryan excites me.

Other than the obvious, which I’m not sure they’ll move.

 

[BB88]

You better not ....ng send Heiskanen to Ottawa.

 

[MXD]

I'm pretty surprised to be honest. Why would Dallas give up massive value when Klingberg plays pretty much the same role? Sure Karlsson is much better, but they have other holes they need filled

...Because Klingberg is probably going the other way in the deal...?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Have to assume Heiskanen is a no go.

Honka + Robertson + Hintz + 2019 1st?

 

[mattydamon]

With no Ryan being included I would think the return would be sizeable if EK is signing as extension - Stars fans what would you be willing to give up?

I would assume Dallas would want to keep Heiskanen but what would be the alternatives the Sens would actually go for?

You can always trade one for the other. Dallas gets the better player, Ottawa gets a cost controlled asset that helps them losing Karlsson

 

[Rolo]

Dallas has a 4.25M 25 year old Erik Karlsson who plays 80-85% of his ability.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

...Because Klingberg is probably going the other way in the deal...?

I don't think so. Nill has gotten Seguin, Spezza, and Sharp without giving up much.

I see it being Honka + Lindell and then add on to that.

 

[Spilot23]

Is Heiskanen going the other way? I don’t see what Stars can offer that would beat other teams offers? Please not in the Central. After Blues, Flames and Kings got better not another Western team that might get a freaking Karlsson

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

...Because Klingberg is probably going the other way in the deal...?

Possibly, but you have to wonder if it's worth it. Klingberg will give 60-70 points as an offensive RHD on a fantastic contract. Is it worth paying assets and way more money for the upgrade, rather than using it in other areas? I guess we'll see

 

[PensandCaps]

I'm pretty surprised to be honest. Why would Dallas give up massive value when Klingberg plays pretty much the same role? Sure Karlsson is much better, but they have other holes they need filled

Why not have two #1 dmen?

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Heiskanen or Klingberg as the centerpiece would be nice (if Karlsson is dealt - I hope he isn't).

 

[crowi]

Honka + Robertson + Hintz + 2019 1st?

For Karlsson there's no "no go".

I don't see any reason OTT would do this without Heiskanen involved - do you?
