Confirmed Signing with Link: [VGK] Knights re-sign William Karlsson [1 year/$5.25M]

[glovesave_35]

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.

Well, there are two things. One, Karlsson's is a one year deal, so if he fizzles then no big deal. Two, Karlsson has a legit big season under his belt, period. Wilson doesn't.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Fun story, neither did tom wilson

Fun story, William Karlsson had more goals than Wilson did points.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Why in the world would he take a 1 year deal

Fun story, not in the Final.

Tom Wilson completely destroyed Karlsson and he disappeared from the series after game two.

This threatens Winnipeg fans' bragging rights (Scheifele).

Congrats for comparing a 1 year bridge deal to a 8 year long term contract.

 

[Dbrownss]

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

This can not be unseen...

 

[Pengu]

Well, if I am Karlsson and score another 40 next season I'd ask for 10 million or tell them to f*** off

Are you a Winnipeg fan?

Crazy deal for Vegas. I know it's "just one season", but 5.25 at one year for a 43 goal scorer. 1 year... In which he's an RFA again at the end.

The guy must really want to stay in Vegas, because he just took a deal that is NO RISK whatsoever for VGK and VERY RISKY for himself.

 

[Be a Hab]

Yes.

Good for both sides than. Let’s see what Karlsson is really made of.

I say 65-70 points next year.

 

[DRW204]

in 102 gp last year he had 93 pts and 50 goals. finished 6th in selke voting (actually had more 1st place votes than Koivu at 5). I don't think he can replicate this season but he definitely has the skillset and is a tenacious 55-60 2 way player. i think playing with marchessault and smith will keep his floor high with the chemistry they have.

here's his shot/goal heatmap for those interested btw

he's been a vegas fan all his life

Team decides the term.

Team decides the term.

I don't think this was through Arb

 

[Holymakinaw]

Well done, Vegas. GREAT deal for a great young player.

 

[Gravity]

He gonna get PAID next year!

yes a 1 year contract at 5.25M vs an 8 year at 6.125M. nice attempt to throw some shade.

 

[LordZapp]

He's gonna improve his totals from last year and break the bank. Count on it.

He has a celebrity girlfriend from Vegas

 

[Kurisu]

probably cost himself millions.

I don't play any Fortnite, but two things:
1. Some hockey players need to start cellying like the dance moves in Fortnite.
2. Fortnite should add some hockey celebrations and hockey related stuff if they haven't done so yet.

If I knew someone in person who wanted to take me up on that bet, I certainly would. I don't think he hits his point totals from last year.

 

[Lindemann]

Fun story, William Karlsson had more goals than Wilson did points.

Fun story, Karlsson had 1 goal and 2 points while Wilson has 2 goals and 3 points in the Cup finals. They also both had 15 points through out the entire playoffs.

This is on top of Wilson causing Vegas to lose their composure and start playing like babies cause he got under their skin, eventually winning the Cup

One year contract. Scheifele is for 8 years. They aren't even close.

 

[Beville]

I’m glad from a VGK point of view,

Keep him as an RFA and make him prove this wasn’t a fluke. Winning.
