Confirmed with Link: The "We got Karlsson!" all-day, all-night, party all the time thread (Part II)

[Agent Zub]

Boedker is projected on the Sens first line and Tierney on their second.

bruh Cody Ceci is the #1 D

 

[hohosaregood]

It's funny that Melnyk thinks he can save money by being cheap. He just ends up losing more money in the end.

 

[Led Zappa]

Okay I believe now. Got a fist bump and an Autograph from THE Erik Karlsson!

IT'S REAL!!!

Gosh, I'm glad he loves our fanbase and is enjoying his first few days here.

I hope we make an impact, I'd love to resign this guy.

Are you sure? It might've been Melker in disguise.

I got a "Thanks for having me!" from Karlsson when I said "Welcome to San Jose".

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I bet he is thrilled to see the excitement from the fanbase of his new team.

 

[rangerssharks414]

The worst part of the Tierney being so high is that he may end up as the 1C before they year is done. If Duchene is traded or injured that could get ugly fast

Good thing that they kept their first rounder this year...

I'm sure it will turn out all right. Even though they have horrible goaltending, one of if not the worst d corps in the league, and what is probably a bottom 5 forward group, they are a team after all.

They will be winning by pure hard work. No other team will be the hard work like them.

So, I was down in the BMW Lounge with about 3 people in front of me at the Jumbo line when Karlsson and Vlasic came walking by and I got to give EK a fist bump. A bit flustered from the tingle running through my body, I grabbed my "Jumbo" Jersey out of my bag just in time to hand it to Jumbo to sign. Only it was the new Jersey I had bought to get EK's sig. So now I have a new unnumbered white Jersey with Jumbo, EK & Vlasic's sig's on it.

And That's The Rest of the Story

DId they sign it where the numbering would go?

 

[Led Zappa]

No. It's signed on the front logo. I just have to decide if I want to still do EK65 and just get some more sigs on it like Burns, Couture, Pav's etc... and make it a Best Of sorta thing. I'm not big on standing in lines to get Auto's, though.

I really just wanted EK and I stood in Jumbo line because I knew my friend wanted him and I had the Jumbo Jersey.

What We Learned: Sharks have incredible options on defense
What We Learned: Sharks have incredible options on defense

Crazy good

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

We have two of the top three in odds for the Norris. Insane.

The odds say 41.8% either burns or EK wins the Norris. Yes, I know odds have other influences than just pure predictions, but that is still impressive.

Who would've thought a couple of years ago that we'd have three Norris trophies won by our defensemen and they weren't old and over the hill?!

 

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

wonder how long we can keep this thread going...

 

[Jargon]

Guys, remember how our Top 4 has 3 #1 defensemen, 3 Norris trophies, and one of the world’s best defensemen on it?

Neat, right?

 

[Tw1ster]

I still can't believe Erik Karlsson is a Shark

The Sharks are 2/3rds of the way to a league-wide monopoly on Karlssons. And their Karlsson holdings have grown by 200% over the last calendar year.

 

[LadyStanley]

Henrik, William, plus Linus is already in org.

(There's also Agust, Alexander, two Antons, Bjorn, Daniel, the other Erik, two Filips, Jere, Kim, Ludwig, Martin, Mattias, Melvin, Robin, Sebastian, and Simon)

It reminds me of a once great restaurant but who slowly lost customers to meddling ownership. I mean if they had a show called Organization Nightmares, Ottawa would premier.

I just don't understand the thinking behind giving up your 1st and acquiring a player who wants to be on a playoff team with only 2 years of contract, while asking your all star for a trade list, and in that same month the Hoffman drama started happening. That's like not checking if your meat cooler is working properly. And then after he trades EK he comes out and says, This is THE right moment to rebuild!

All I know is im looking forward to the sharks rolling up their sleeves as PDB likes to say, and getting to work. Oddly even though we got EK I feel we have even less pressure to win after 2015 as it still feels the pressure to get it together is on Oilers/Flames and heavily on Nashvill/Jets/Vegas and especially on Caps/Penguins/Tampa. This is why I think we could win a cup, all we need is to stay healthy.

Same, that’s why every game he doesn’t play in is killing me! I just want to get used to it! Lol

More gems about the Karlsson trade, DW and Plattner.

I went through the list a few days ago. William is back in Sweden now and most of those others either were never drafted or never amounted to anything. The current outlook on Karlssons is just Erik (the good one), Melker, and William at the NHL level and Linus and one of the others as prospects (though the other one is such a longshot prospect that it's not really worth mentioning). And Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson as halfway counting.

 

[hockeyball]

With most players, especially given this much build up time, I'd be saying there is very little chance the player could possibly live up to the hype surrounding them and we will almost certainly end up dissapointed.... But, as this is Karlsson, assuming he stays healthy, I cannot imagine a situation where we are dissapointed with him lol.

Also, over/under on him being the next captain if he re-signs? haha
