11.5...

 

[Killer Orcas]

Would they move him yes. Would anyone take him no.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

Would have to be an oel trade on steroids

 

[Cancuks]

50% retained and the Sharks first round pick.

 

[banks]

50% retained and the Sharks first round pick.

He's playing 23 minutes a game and putting up .7 points per game. You thing he's got less than no value at 5.7 million per?

Get out of here.

 

[TheNewEra]

Murray+Zaistev+Del Zotto for Karlsson after his bonus is paid for the next season

 

[Bizz]

3 1sts and a blue chipper should suffice. Zero retention.

 

[Dust]

At 50% retention I'm sure there would be plenty of suitors interested. At his full cap hit? Probably none. Nobody has room for that contract.

It's really just his contract that's the issue. He isn't the same player he was with Ottawa, but he's still a fairly gifted offensive D-man.

 

[Gecklund]

No point moving him. Especially not for the shit that’s going to be offered in this thread. Guy had 33 points in 47 games on a team that can’t keep up with him. He also wasn’t as big of a defensive liability as he has been in the past.

 

[themelkman]

They wouldnt, but they should

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Unpopular opinion--dude would have absolutely massive value at about 25-30% retention. No need for 50%, he's still absolutely better than the vast majority of dmen making 8 million +, even with concerns.

Montreal may be interested. But we have to move contract back. Petry+?

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

You know, I'd get rid of him for Petry ($6.25M) +
Would give us a little more flexbility to build some depth

I was thinking the same.
Or when looking at term and contracts (Karlsson has an extra year) I wonder what people would think about something along the lines of:

Karlsson for Price, 2nd rd pick and B prospect/3rd rd pick?

I personally think it makes some sense but I’ve noticed many differing opinions on these boards AND I’m not sure if this makes any sense for the Sharks to do?

 

[WingsMJN2965]

It would take a massive amount of retention or a significant cap dump of similar term going back to make it happen.

Price too hard to move. Has NMC.

The funny thing is GMs/owners hate retaining on long contracts... but they're paying that player a huge amount of money to waste away on a bottom feeder anyways because there's hope that they can retool and bounce back into contention.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Dude is playing pretty well, probably playing at around an 8-9M value. EK65 at 6 would be an extremely good value.

No way. Petry has 3 years left, Karlsson has 5, at a hefty salary.

The only way Karlsson comes to Montreal is if Price is going the other way.

Cap space, MTL is rebuilding, two reasons why it does not make sense. I don t get why a rebuilding team would add yet another boat anchor of a contract…

 

[DingDongCharlie]

One day we will see a GM make a move where a club just heading into a rebuild will do a 40-50% retention on a player with 4-5 years term to return a boatload of assets.

If San Jose finally embraces a full rebuild the sell off takes a season, 3 years to rebuild and by the time the dead cap is coming off the book they would just be turning the corner where they should need the space.

Karlsson at 6 million per should return a pair of 1st's and some good prospects from a contender or a club ready to turn the corner with an already strong prospect pool.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

If the Sharks retain ~3M, they could probably get some good value back for him.

Not rebuilding. Hughes said plan on competing next year.

You're a fan of hyperbole, I see.
