Uhm I Zohorna for many year who u are¿

10 years somehow dunno how but it is 10

 

[AuroraBorealis]

@Radim Zohorna Please bring your best at training camp. You're really gonna have to impress for Sully to give you a chance. You're European.

 

[Jobeycool]

I've heard the offer is two firsts, POJ to SJ and Granlund to a third team

That is from Mark Zuckerberg lol haha... would be very unwise to take that serious.

 

[ChaosAgent]

San Jose would have to be dumb to make that decision. Karlsson is absolutely not going to have more value going forward than he has right now. It would be a major mismanagement of assets to not cash in on him now.

Players go for premiums at the deadline. They're probably looking at an offer of Granlund, Pickering, a 2024 1st and Ty Smith and having to retain $3M and uhh...not feeling overwhelmed.

I give Sully knuckle sandwich

 

[McGroarty2]

Okay, now it's getting a bit creepy....

Lol

Depends how he'd play next year. If he's sitting on 30-35 points at the deadline, that's a big hit to his value imo.

And if Karlsson doesn't repeat his 2022-2023 season and is only just what he was in years before that, he has no value.

He's a cap dump if he's not performing at Norris levels. They'd get nothing back for him but bad contracts and dead cap space if they move him while he's just a good player. Even if you retain him down to $7.5 million or so, how much value does he have if he's an injury prone 33 year old OFD that only will give you 40 points in 60 games over a season? Oh yeah, he also has a full NMC so he can pick the location he goes to.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

We're going to celebrate a Calder Cup next season and we'll like it!

Technically, he did say we are trying to win a cup... Calder and you'll like it bitches...

 

[Ugene Magic]

Zohorna: I'm sure the frustration levels are high, already, he isn't on the big clubs roster.

But Johnsson is.

 

[Gurglesons]

Adding Johnsson doesn't mean you can't also do that with Puustinen or Poulin.

WBS needs players too.

But Mike Sullivan is our coach.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Gimme another Kyle presser.

I think the Hurricanes are going to trade Pesce to fit in Tarasenko and DeAngelo tbh

Karlsson stuff isn’t their plan A compared to Pitts imo. I think they’re in it out of principle.

I okay. He may play on big club but also he name after penis

 

[Jobeycool]

Pesce is going to be... Going, Going, Gone with a trade... Like Kent Derdivanis use to call homeruns for the Pirates..

Good point, but man does this pursuit of him feel risky. I guess is SJ retains he gets easier to trade down the line.

We hope b/c that would leave it to basically 1team and would very likely come here in a more favorable move.

I have a good feeling about this for anyone that wants to see EK here

They literally couldn't do DeAngelo and Karlsson. Who are they sending out to make up like 5.0/6.0 and cap for callups?

 

[Lara Emily]

Just heard from a secret source Karlsson was a big Hartford Whalers fan and has strong resentment for Carolina stealing them and ending the Brass Bonanza

And no this source isn't me projecting on Karlsson

But Johnsson is.

Sully wanted him back to bury him in the minors because Z basically said he didn't get a chance here? (Not saying you're saying that) I'm just throwing out my own theories as to why this org has done some pretty strange things over the last 5 or so years. (Kapanen anyone?)

Pens are righteously screwed....if that happens.

Pesce makes us a better team than Karlsson likely does.

Just sayin.'
