So, weak team or perennial choker? He could certainly do better...
MRW an Oilers fan is talking shit about how other teams do in the playoffs:

But I mean, Karlsson isn't going to the Oilers, why make this about them? Your insecurity is coming through.If only either of those teams could be like the Oilers, perennial losers who are a 2-man show who are going to waste the careers of 2 of the best players the league has seen in the last 2 decades.
Something something glass houses.

At this point, the Oilers may win a cup before either of these two going forward...What insecurity is there here? You're taking shots at 2 more successful teams than your team, of course you're going to receive shots back.
Would be a pretty massive failure if they didn't.At this point, the Oilers may win a cup before either of these two going forward...
Choke? No. They lose to better teams.At this point, the Oilers may win a cup before either of these two going forward...
But like I said, lets stay on topic.
Clearly there is something wrong in Carolina, they've been pretty solid for a long time now and always choke in the playoffs. I think it's unlikely Karlsson is going to be the magic fix, and Pittsburgh is on it's way down, he's not going to bring them back to the glory days, I think he'd definitely serve himself better on other contenders.

The Oilers fit both descriptions, so you think they have a chance?So, weak team or perennial choker? He could certainly do better...
I always find it funny when teams lose to other teams that are just as good if not better and then people claim they choked. Boston choked because they had a 3-1 lead. Winnipeg nor Edmonton choked just because they lost to Vegas.Tbf so does Edmonton
Sharks most of the 2000s/2010s because DW didn't know how to build a modern defense, acquire forward depth, or sign/trade for good goaliesI always find it funny when teams lose to other teams that are just as good if not better and then people claim they choked.

Yeah, commenting on people's looks is so relevantMod in OP - “try to keep this thread on topic, please.”

It would be the same scenario if he went to Carolina, where he would again be stuck with Burns on the same D-corps.
So either way, he's likely going to a team where he'll have to split the offensive duties. At least with the Pens there's a possibility (however unlikely) they'd use him as the main offensive guy to give Letang a bit less responsibility.
Plan B is probably stay put with Petry.Dubas go after plan B, don't waste all summer on Karlsson as you probably wont get him anyway.
You're assuming that other teams won't improve either. Buffalo, Detroit, Ottawa, even Columbus all look to be better than last season (whether through additions or guys returning from injury). Both the Atlantic and the Metro will once again be a dogfight.They missed by a point, I think Erik Karlsson gets them a point.
Hell Reilly Smith probably gets them a point.
I think he's gonna be an Oiler.Am I the only one that cant understand why these are the two teams that seem most likely to land him? The whole reason Karlsson wants to be traded is so he has a chance to win a cup. Even with Karlsson, Pittsburgh isn't going to win another one with their aging core. Carolina makes sense in that they're definitely a contender, but Burns makes Karlsson redundant doesn't he? And its not like they showed an ability to perform well together when they were both with the Sharks.
18-19: as a wildcard team, got beat by Boston who was a superior team. Not a chokeDon't deflect, you know the Canes are choke city and your team is weaksauce.
Its just normal summer HF Board banter. Things go off the rails when people are bored.Yeah, commenting on people's looks is so relevant
