Speculation: EK65 - How much should Ottawa offer him this summer? (hypothetical)

[operasen]

Surprised at the amount. Does he change his number to 88?
Seriously, that’s a lot for a body with a lot of miles and injury status on it. Okay for a couple of years but 8 is a stretch

The power of California compels you, the power of California compels you.

The power of playing in an organization that isn't the Ottawa Senators too.

 

[DaveMatthew]

Apparently it's going to be 11.45M for 8 years ($91.6M total).

Everything worked out pretty well for Erik. Meanwhile in Ottawa...

11x8. Wow. Kind of surprised he got that tbh.

He was always getting 11 minimum it was hilarious that people around here didnt think he was going to. The report I read says more than 11, the op of this thread maxed it out at 11 haha.

Anyways atleast the sens get the extra pick.

 

[BatherSeason]

Looks like he got an even better deal than the "alleged" offer Ottawa put on the table last summer. Can't believe how much San Jose paid for a selfish hockey player who is a terrible leader and hates to practice.

 

[TheNewEra]

There's a reasonable chance Stone and Karlsson will be remembered as Sharks and Knights rather than Senators.

gee thanks, just what i needed this morning

 

[bert]

I think it's safe to say both will be. They'll both, most likely, play more seasons in their new cities and experience more team success than they did here.

Just like Hossa. So embarassing to have talents like this and none are life long sens. So embarassing to be a fan of this organization.

Report: Erik Karlsson signing 8-year mega deal with Sharks


not to be out done. Anthony Duclair signs one-year deal with Senators

Your morning may get even better, Dorion with a press conference at 11. Dorion media availability has become much watch/listen for comedic purposes lately.

The weather is great...But LA is nothing short of pure madness,kinda like NYC .....Not fun cities to drive in ..lol

 

[OmniSens]

Well damn.

Pending Divorce.

 

[BatherSeason]

$88 Million is not low ball.

Very much low ball IMO.

its going to be for a ceci extension isnt it....

 

[stempniaksen]

"No one is gonna offer 7 years for an injury prone player"
"No one is going to give him the money he turned down in Ottawa"

I wonder if the EK detractors gonna come in here and eat their crow?

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

Very much low ball IMO.

Not in EK65s opinion.

 

[BatherSeason]

Knowing Dorion/Melnyk, its probably for damage control purposes because of the Karlsson contract.

Doesn't look like it:

Yep,this represents almost 2 seasons worth of our complete player budget....But buy your tickets and remember FYOUS

Good thing for Karlsson he lives in the bay area.

 

[BatherSeason]

Huh?? EK signed a contract worth more money after a season where he was deemed to be "finished" by many in the industry, so yes, he was absolutely low-balled by the Ottawa Senators last off-season, if there was actually even a contract offered.

Only way to go in those places lol......He can watch the perpetual gridlock from his window sipping cocktails

 

[TheNewEra]

or a statement like "come buy tickets and then maybe just maybe we will spend on the team"

 

[topshelf15]

Not fun there either I assure you...But again Iam talking as a truck driver here so please take this in context...lol

And so dear friends
You just have to carry on
The dream is over
