Value of: Erik Karlsson - UFA. Will it happen? Where does he end up?

[Pinkfloyd]

Playoff result will fix it.
Karlsson said that he would like to back in east coast but , wife and him makes the decision at the end of the day

Citation needed for this.

I think he ends up in San Jose. They gave up picks + prospects to get him so I think they are probably a bit more motivated to re-sign him (esp. after missing on JT. Wilson was desperate to land a difference maker and I think he will do everything he can to keep EK). Plus they can offer the 8th year.

They didn't give up much to get him. It seems Dorion put most of his efforts into making sure SJ didn't flip him to Tampa.

Over the summer, the big rumor was that he "wanted" to play in TB. I think that's not at all a possibility anymore, and I think the Sharks shaping into a contender (yet again) will be enough to keep him for 8 years. Honestly, I don't even think the number's going to be astronomical. Players want to win.

it would have had to be some new information, because i've never come across it when karlsson was in Ottawa

 

[Hammettf2b]

Hes obviously going to Detroit to restart the Swedish Mafia dominance.

I never saw any rumor that he wanted to play in Tampa Bay either.

It’s one of those things where people think they can say it enough to will it into existence.

use google , pretty sure it was from lebrun or tsn

Yeah I think you're mixing it up with what they think rather than what Karlsson actually thinks.

soo.... you just made it up, right, got it.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

they were talking directly to him......

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Why would i lie for this . It was a small conversation between him and Lebrun. I have nothing to gain from lying lmao.

Doesnt mean he will go to east , he might sign to freaking Dallas or Vancouver or stay in SJ lmao.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

double post

 

[Empty Net Goal]

I love that both of these opinions can somehow coexist (not saying you believe it, but I've seen both on here)

1. Karlsson won't sign long term because the Sharks window is closing and they are old
2. Karlsson will sign with New York though who is just starting a rebuild

Every year for the past decade people say the sharks window is closing. Exactly how slow is this window moving?

 

[Quiet Jack]

I wouldn’t want my team to sign him (he’d never sign for Buffalo anyway).

Will be interesting to see what happens.

 

[FunkyPhin]

Why would i lie for this. Lmao do u think i care if u think i made that up.

Doesnt mean he will go to east , he might sign to freaking Dallas or Vancouver or stay in SJ lmao.

I don't know man, you say that karlsson said something, I ask you honestly where it's from because no one on here has heard about it, then you tell someone else to google it LOL, great job substantiating your claims

 

[BigCanadian]

There is no chance he re-signs in SJ IMO.

 

[Multigrain]

Stay in San Jose or maybe Dallas or Vegas but I don't think they have the $ unless they can flip Benn or something.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

they were talking directly to him......

Then you should be able to provide such a thing. This isn't that hard. Either put up or shut up.

 

[SPF6ty9]

I think he's staying here

Somebody get this guy a phone charger.

I would assume he signs for 8x12M in San Jose. He seems to be enjoying it down there, the team is perennially in the hunt, and who wouldn't want to be rich and living in California?

 

[WeDislikeEich]

They didn't give up much to get him. It seems Dorion put most of his efforts into making sure SJ didn't flip him to Tampa.

For Karlsson, no.

But they still gave up a pretty good haul of assets - 2 pretty decent/good roster players, 2 good prospects + 1st and 2nd round picks .

I can’t imagine they’d be thrilled giving all that up for 1 year of Karlsson (unless they make the cup finals or something).

Can't search for something that doesn't exist. But this schtick just means you got nothing.

Sorry if you cant find it. Not my fault if RDS/TSN use early 2000s website design.
