Rumor: Trade Rumors/Proposals/Free Agents 2017-2018

[Langdon Alger]

Every day that goes by I become more optimistic that he re-signs, anyone else?

Nope. Wish I shared your optimism. Don’t think this drags on all summer. Maybe within the next week or two? Sooner would be better. I’d like to move on.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I remember joking in November about how Dorion was going to juggle trying to re-sign Karlsson, Duchene, and Stone in the summer.

Did not dissapoint.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

I want some juicy gossip. What got deleted?

Some juicy goss.

 

[OgieO]

Yes. Give us the details... Using hypotheticals if necessary. We can take it

I don't know how credible this is but:

Oh man, @PeterSidorkiewicz's favourite source of information

Just cracked open two 2 litres of Mountain Dew and gonna be following RUMOR BREAK! All night long!

If there’s a rumor to break I only go to RUMOR BREAK!

 

[Icelevel]

Less than not credible. It's a kid who faked his own death to get followers who literally just takes what others say and makes things up to fit it.

His account should be banned from the site.

Is that true?

 

[Senscore]

Is that true?

Yes. RumorBreak has no dick.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Think I might just open an account covering rumors about RumorBreak. Follow me @RumorBreakRumors69!

 

[RAFI BOMB]

Until the next Karlsson news.

Good to know. Given the lack of credibility in reliable media sources surrounding Karlsson news it is hard to determine who is legitimate. Multiple reliable media sources said Karlsson was going to Vegas, then Dallas, then Tampa Bay and that the deal was pretty much done, then nothing happened. But thanks for letting me know about rumorbreak, I didn't know the history behind him.

I mean, when you're writing about trade talks in what basically amounts to real time thanks to Twitter and such, it's kind of normal for things to change radically from one day to the next. People act as if the likes of Friedman, Shawn Simpson and Dreger make shit up but they're just relaying the latest info. By all accounts there were serious talks between Ottawa and all of Vegas, Dallas and Tampa, but negotiations can always fall apart.

If people only want to know about when EK is actually traded and it's confirmed by the NHL, then they should probably stay away from the internet.

Well said.

These kinds of talks are completely fluid. Teams come close to making deals all the time. Difference is, before social media, we never heard about it.

What was it like?

(lol... joking )

A third team to eat salary would make me very sad. We should be the ones burying contracts for a better haul.

 

[Slippy]

While I will admit that I still hold a sliver of hope that Karlsson may re-sign, I am growing tired of the situation. My whole thought regarding the draft pick the Sens had to give to COL was you have to market hope and you can't pass the 4th overall pick because you're telling everyone "we expect to be even worse next year". But I also had in the back of my head, if you're losing the best player in team history in his prime, don't sugarcoat it; it's gotta be a rebuild and likely to be a tough year.

Seems that the Sens are having trouble maximizing the value of Karlsson by working out an extension. I'm tempted to wait til the trade deadline because they'll at least get to have EK in the lineup this season for a better chance and can still flip him for a decent return. Maybe even can work on the sliver of hope to resign.

But if I give up hope why not just cut to it now. Go to COL and say "how about EK for our first and Shane Bowers?" At this point would you be really all that disappointed? Not the huge return I'd hoped for, but...

 

[Punchbowl]

I have it on good authority Pierre Dorion is tucking into bed right now with a sleeping cap and a cup of warm milk.

Stay tuned.

 

[StutzleTheGoat]

Watching Karlsson highlights today made me so sad. Makes you almost forget how brilliant he is on a nightly basis. I seriously cannot picture him playing for another team. #ForeverKarl

Well, we all had to watch Alfie play for someone else, I guess that was the warm up to the main event. It is a very sad state of affairs. But not unique.

We will survive as others have. But it will take a while...

I would support him fully but I don't think I would smile when he lifts a cup with another team. I really don't. Maybe years from now but it'll hurt. He deserves to lift it with us. Whether next year or 5 years from now.

 

[HSF]

Duchene we’ll reported. When he was first on the market ceci was an ask.

Drouin. Well reported. They wanted ceci plus a pick/white.

Hall. Well. Was hall.

link ? cause i know the hall one and it was it more that edm wanted larsson more

The Oilers traded Gretzky for money and still won a cup.

If we can also trade Ryan, add an extra two bodies and completely shift the locker room culture we might actually have a .500 season.

This is perhaps the lowest point in our respective fandoms but it could always be worse - we could be Habs fans.
