Not that there was any chance Karlsson was coming here, but nice to put that one to rest anyways.

There goes that dream - hopefully it causes other teams to look at some of the guys we’ve been rumoured to be after and outbid us for them.

With Timo Meier, Kevin Lebanc as key RFAs, and the Joe's and Joonas as UFAs, I wonder if they will just let Nyquist go.
Gustav Nyquist would be a good addition to the Canucks top 6.

Horrid contract for a broken player.. that won't age well.

Ye, i feel that he would work well with Boeser & EP.

Why so serious?
Can’t imagine them having the space to sign him too... especially if they intend on trying to keep Pavelski (and Thornton). Add them to the list of teams who may have some cap trouble.

I would do that deal in a second. What Karlsson brings is so rare, and I don't think a drop in skating ability (which is inevitable with age) will hamper him enough to turn him from an elite d-man to anything less than one. A lot of his work is done in the opponents' offensive zone. His hero highlight reel level play rate will drop, no doubt, but he has the IQ to adjust to a slightly different style of game. His defensive game is also underrated, imo. When healthy, he's completely fine on D.

Would you rather.....
Trade for zaitsev and not get much of a sweetener are all.
Or
Sign Myer
????
Neither really solve our top 4 D issue. Really want to know player for player who is better?

This leaves San Jose in a bit of a tight spot. Roughly $13 million left to re-sign Lebanc, Meier, Pavelski, Nyquist, and Thornton (if he doesn't retire).
Nyquist is all but gone, and Jumbo will likely wait to see what's left and take a discount (if he's coming back). They could trade away Braun or Dillon + sign a cheap bottom pairing guy to open up 2 million more in cap, but I still can't see how they fit Pavelski unless Meier/Lebanc take sweetheart bridge deals.

I'd rather keep what we have than trade for an anchor or sign a soon to be anchor. Either way we'll lose, might as well keep the assets and cap for the next GM.

@BeardyCanuck03
Agreed.
Next seasons top 6.
Nyquist-EP-Boeser
Pearson-Horvat-(Ideally a Right Shot Speedy winger)

I mean... Edler was injured leading up the to the deadline and had the trade protection.
Benning should've been more proactive with his approach with Edler, but once it got to the deadline week, his hands were tied.
