Nope, Dorion still got a pretty underwhelming return.
Sure, but it may end up being a big waste of assets. That first round pick could end up looking really good.

Im not so sure we should throw a ton of money at a guy who is a perrenial bag of injuries.
This is the 1st and only injury he has gotten that could turn into a career changer.
Out of every other team in the league, Vegas has always matched up really well against the Sharks. They're just an inherently bad match up for us with the current composition and play styles. I think getting Karlsson back would help a lot since his own game seems to disrupt Vegas. Anyways, we're f***ed. I'm almost at a "why bother" level of caring about the upcoming post season.This may not be the place to ask this question. But this Karl’s Son issue has got me losing my sleeps.
With the feeling many fans like myself are having about him potentially not signing and the way Sharks have completely pooped the bed of late, what do people think about SJ’s chances of beating the gold nites?
Personally I feel like in a vacuum sharks are better, but that’s best on best all rested and healthy. LV has been a buzz saw and SJ going into full choke mode, I’d put our chances at maybe 15-20% max. I wouldn’t be surprised if the lines came out and LV was -500 for the series.
Karlsson can’t sign in Vegas. They’re almost 3 million over the cap for next year with 17 players on their roster. So they’d have to clear like 20+ million to make room for him, and sign William Karlsson, and fill out their roster.I imagine we’ll all be pissed seeing him do that in a Knights/Ducks/Kings jersey
Hindsight is so OPIt's looking like a horrible trade now.
Yes, I'm using hindsight.
When the sharks we're steamrolling the league a few weeks ago I would've said it was a toss upThis may not be the place to ask this question. But this Karl’s Son issue has got me losing my sleeps.

If Karlsson goes anywhere, it's going to be to New York. Otherwise, he's staying here.
You thinking Islanders? I doubt he would want to be part of a rebuild with the Rangers.If Karlsson goes anywhere, it's going to be to New York. Otherwise, he's staying here.

I think its easy to be negative about everything right now given how poorly our team has been performing but in the end the EK65 decision is entirely all about 2 people. Erik and Melinda Karlsson. They decide if they stay in SJ or not.
The doom and gloom is in full bloom and spring hasn’t even started.
He would totally join a rebuild to be with the Rangers given the other amenities to living and working in Manhattan for a guy like him. Plus, New York with EK65 is not rebuilding anymore and they're not that far off talent-wise after adding him from being a playoff team.
Well, I would think that there quite a few better options than the Rangers if he is looking to win a cup. But the advantage of working in a big city like NYC would be hard to match. Plus it is a lot closer to Ottawa as well.
Its rather unfortunate that the EK65 injury prevented us from enjoying a full season with him on our roster. Maybe he returns healthy for the playoffs and we get a good run there but if he does end up leaving most of the Sharks fans will feel cheated on the trade.
The equinox was on the 20th so it's already spring as far as I'm concerned.The doom and gloom is in full bloom and spring hasn’t even started.
The Stone acquisition was awesome for the Knights. We will absolutely need a healthy Karlsson if we want to be competitive.When the sharks we're steamrolling the league a few weeks ago I would've said it was a toss up
Now, the way the teams are playing I don't think I'm being dramatic to say Vegas should be strongly favored

I will definitely be pissed if EK comes back for the playoffs, plays like ****, we lose, and then he walks in the off-season. If that happens, we only saw him play good for all of 20 games, meaningless games at that.
That’s the absolute worst case scenario, but it’s still a trade you HAVE to make if you’re DW
Honestly, I do not even want him to play in the playoffs if he cant get in a regular season game.
Then only put him in once he is 100% healthy, or we need a hail mary sub in if we get down like 3 to 1 in a series. If they pull a Thornton with him, and he does not suit up in the playoffs for us, I do not want to resign him, he did not earn my loyalty like Thornton has. Not taking a 11+mil risk on a guy that keeps having injuries to key skating muscles, when skating is an enormous part of what makes him special, and not just good.
That's crazy talk. Karlsson was carrying an entire team 2 years ago on one foot. You'll want him suited up come playoffs, no question about it.Honestly, I do not even want him to play in the playoffs if he cant get in a regular season game.

I'm obviously being dramatic and realize there is technically a chance...it just seems very unlikely based on how this season has gone for him. He was never able to fully settle in.
