Value of: Erik Karlsson @6M

[qc14]

If the Penguins put EK on waivers tomorrow would he (and his contract) get claimed? CBJ and Utah are I think the only teams that even consider it and they all probably pass.

At what cap hit does that number definitively go to one team? Five? Ten? Half retained I'd think Dallas and Carolina would be interested, Columbus and Utah as well. Maybe Florida and Toronto in the summer. Dallas just moved their first this year. Carolina is notoriously stingy with theirs. Columbus and Utah probably aren't moving theirs for a very old player.

The market just isn't there.

The Sharks would absolutely claim Karlsson at 10 mil with only a couple seasons left and they’re number one on the priority list. Too bad Karlsson wouldn’t allow it.
