Also at the time no one thought or predicted the San Jose first to be what it is. I am talking about a similar value return to what the sens got at the time of the deal.
I doubt I was the only one. I'm no Nostradamus or anything, I am not trying to predict things all the time, it's just something that looked very possible to me at that moment. I was right on some things, and wrong on some others. Imagine how bad they'd be without Karlsson.

"but the Sharks in 2020 could end up being 10th overall (let’s say EK left, Thornton retired, others aged a bit more, some players stopped progressing, etc). I don’t know, could even win the « lotto » the way the Canes did in June."
Lots of fun. It crazy how we make statements with so much certainty but end up being totally wrong sometimes.
