And has a decent chance of being just as good as Karlsson as he matures.Counter: Buffalo just takes the elite defense prospect who's cost controlled and ten years younger than Karlsson.

I'm offering one of my children that should be born some time in the next 5 years for Karlsson. My son will be cost controlled until about 2040 give or take.

Has equal chance at becoming David Rundblad.And has a decent chance of being just as good as Karlsson as he matures.
Wait where did I say that? Hint: I didn't. Does he project to be? Yes he does.
I am not sure what to say, I quoted your post and thats what it says.

This post is ridiculous. First of all Karlsson isnt near 30 he is 27. Second of all Dahlin being better than Karlsson is probably less than a 5% chance of happening. He could have 4 Norris's by now and he is 27. Since when is Dahlin generational? And no his floor isnt a franchise #1 D man. Great prospect but people need to take a log off the fire.
No the deal doesnt make sense for buffalo but your post is straight up full of BS and not fact. The Karlsson hyperbole on this site is getting out of hand. Ottawa is an easy target and everything but he is a hell of alot better player than people are making him out to be.
Leddy, rights to JT and 2 2ndsTrading a generational D man for a potential one sounds crazy, and it is. This all hinges on a scenario in which Karlsson doesn't seem like he will sign in Ottawa. Dorion's biggest job this summer is going to be reading the situation and making sure they get full value if they end up losing EK. If they hold out till after the draft they could be losing a year and a lot of value of a rebuild.
To Buffalo:
Erik Karlsson (signed to 8 year deal)
To Ottawa:
2018 1st overall pick (Dahlin)
Conditional 2019 2nd (becomes 1st if BUF makes playoffs)
G Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen
C Rasmus Asplund
Ottawa and Karlsson get a fresh start in this scenario. Buffalo can start to try and compete with a proven superstar. Ottawa starts the rebuild right with pick #1 and #4 in the draft, along with getting potentially another 1st down the road, as they will lose one next year or this year to Colorado. Luukkonen and Asplund will be solid additional building blocks in OTT.
You can never replace Karlsson, so you might as well get the next best thing.

Buff #1
So Leddy , 2 2nds, and a good look at Tavarea's ass as he walks out the door. I like Leddy but na.Leddy, rights to JT and 2 2nds
For
Buff #1
You couldnt be more wrong, give me a break lmao.
Shiny new toy syndrome at its finest here. The guy you hope will one day become close to Karlsson is more valuable than the man himself. Thats rich.

so who should Buffalo trade the pick for? provide something instead of snark.
Why the heck are we adding our young talented defenseman to Barkov when it's only Matthews one for one, or MacKinnon, or Laine? I could stomach a much smaller plus to Barkov added.Off the top of my head, the Sabres would trade the pick tonight.....
- to EDM for Connor McDavid
- to TOR for Auston Matthews
- to WIN for Patrik Laine
- to CLB for Seth Jones
- to BOS for David Pastrnak
- to COL for Nathan MacKinnon
then for insane packages.....
- to FLA for Barkov and Ekblad
- to PHI for Couturier and Provorov
- to TOR for Marner and Rielly
- to TAM for Point, Sergachev and Foote
- to BOS for McAvoy, DeBrusk and Donato
etc.
Needless to say, Dahlin isn't Bobby Orr and isn't untouchable if a team is willing to offer something outrageous - but that's what it would take. And, no team is offering those offers above, as it would deplete their club and defeat the purpose.
Dahlin is an elite prospect, but he's still a prospect. There was a time Erik Johnson and Aaron Ekblad were labelled "franchise defensemen" in the mold of Rob Blake and Chris Pronger.

no chance. Dahlin has the potential to be even better then Karlsson and his floor is a franchise #1 dman. Not trading an 18 year old generational D prospect on an ELC for 3 years for a near 30 Karlsson who has missed a lot of games in the past. Karlsson is the best but not for much longer. That'll be Dahlin.
