[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Fun story, neither did tom wilson

 

[HOPE]

Man is it first ever season with this much 1 year contract for good players? It’s unreal!

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Reasonable, sorta

 

[izzy]

wild bill needs to prove this wasnt a fluke

 

[heretik27]

Good player, good value.

Btw Wilson never had more than 9 goals in a season prior to this year too.. the only difference is Karlsson just potted 43 and was basically PPG.

Not one single unbiased person would gamble on the player whose career high in points is 35 over the player whose career high in goals is 43 at the same salary.

Of course, but off all the tom wilson comparisons/jokes this one doesn't make sense since karlsson could also be just a one hit wonder.

 

[Henkka]

As a team I would definitely go for 2 years.

EDIT:

Not so, 1- year keeps him still RFA.

2 years does end for UFA.

Obviously but your missing the point, who saying he isnt a one year wonder? If you wanna say others vs wilson etc thats fine but someone went lol at wilson when karlsson had one random year. Maybe next year karlsson can lol at wilson otherwise it could be back to his 9 goal season, we dont know

 

[hector morrison]

25 years old, point- a- game player,scored forty goals....very good for the Knights! If Karlsson repeats those numbers it will be the best contract in the league! Maybe the term is short to allow for a re-assessment cause those numbers make for big paydays!

Of course, but off all the tom wilson comparisons/jokes this one doesn't make sense since karlsson could also be just a one hit wonder.

plus there is RFA vs UFA, and short term deal vs long term.

edit: I mean RFA years, not RFA vs UFA status this summer.

Sure. I think the point is that if they both peaked last season, Karlsson peaked MUCH higher, for what worth....

 

[sr edler]

He's been working hard at the gym for thi$ deal.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Same $$$ as Wilson!!! LOL

sure he had more goals than Wilson had points, but who's the better hitter?

 

[hockeykicker]

Sure. I think the point is that if they both peaked last season, Karlsson peaked MUCH higher.

Absolutely, i agree completely. But all im saying is that if we wanna make fun of wilson contract, let's do it with someone who didnt have 9 goals or less until this random year. At this time next year karlsson could be at 50, wilson at 10 goals we dont know

 

[Henkka]

If the player ask was 6.5M and team offer was 3.5M, the final solution for 5.25M was ~2/3 of the player ask and ~1/3 of the team offered value.

swedes always take bargain deals. Backstrom for 6 million. Erik Karlsson for 6.5 million

lol
