Rumor: Karlsson to Lightning (Mod warning in OP - READ IT)

[Henkka]

I know. But doesn't a team have to give something away in order for a trade to be deemed legal? As in, you just can't give a team players, picks for free?

Add in a 7th.

 

[Battle Lin]

theres a chance ott doesnt get full value of course, but why the heck you people think theres zero chance ott gets great value especially for an extended erik karlsson, do you people not know who the heck erik karlsson is...ya theres a few trades lately that doesnt seem late both parties got equal value but its not like that all the time, especially when you talking about erik karlsson, now if hes not extended then its different story but an extended erik karlsson gets a ton of value its erik karlsson

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

At least they’ll be within driving distance of the Hoffmans....

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

I’m heading to the fridge. Anyone need anything?

MLT. Make sure the mutton’s extra lean.

Because they don't have a choice between keeping Karlsson and trading him. They're trading him. This isn't a buy/sell thing so much as it's an auction.

I'm not sure that will work. Didn't the NHL do away with trades like this back when teams were doing this to dump salary? Like the Kolzig trade to Toronto for example.
I may be wrong, I'm just looking for clarification.

 

[agentblack]

Imagine the ridiculous price of Karlsson if Sakic were here to trading him haha! Naming Heiskanen would only merely open Sakics left eye towards the Stars...

what are you talking about?

 

[Emerica]

Lol. Yost. I’m fully expecting a tweet tomorrow morning saying “it was close but team X is upping their offer. Just minor details being worked out”. Rinse and repeat for the next 30-90 days

Seeing all the “insiders” scrambling these past few days or should I say months has been entertaining to say the least. Trying to make it seem like they have an inside track but really have no clue what’s going down.

Friedman’s radio appearance quotes this past week have been hilarious. Literally bringing nothing new to the table yet people arw gobbling it up. “I’ve heard from my source that he thinks maybe this is going to get done soon if Ottawa gets the right package.” Oh ok.

 

[Jarey Curry]

what are you talking about?

The Duchene trade?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Point is our best center at both ends of the ice. NMC aside I’d trade Stamkos before Point. Subtracting Point while adding Karlsson makes us a worse team before you even consider the difference in cap.

I feel like this definitely the hipster cool thing to say. And it’s probably false.

 

[agentblack]

The Duchene trade?

why?

Tampa is better with or without Karlsson regardless... They have a Elite 1C, 100pt Winger, Top 5 Forward depth in the league, 3rd best Defensemen in the league, Top 10 Defence on paper(Hedman, Sergachev, Stralman, McDonagh) and a better goalie... No pissing contest to be had.

You clearly haven’t read this thread then.

I only just read half of that... I did not know that was Mod Warning..

 

[Jarey Curry]

why?

Sakic was able to get max value with Duchene even though he played his weakest season. Dorion is in a situation where he has to deal Karlsson sooner than later but he put himself in that situation.

 

[Price is Wright]

Yes, hockey needs a Woj.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

If Tampa can dump Coburn to one of the 16 teams he has on his trade list, that would free just enough space to ice the same team they had last year minus Sergachev and Coburn but with Erik f***ing Karlsson. Then they extend him and worry about everything else later.

Yzerman: hold my beer

 

[Burnie97]

To anoint any team saying they're winning forsure at the start of a season.... or you know ... July is silly. There are way to many variables.

I’m far from the only Lightning fan with that opinion. Go ahead and make a poll if you don’t believe me.

Or send Callahan to NY

What does that have to do with EK potentially getting traded to TB? I mean who cares what Sakic did almost a year ago.

 

[WesMcCauley]

At 4 AM? You have supreme early morning taste. What did you have it with? I'm not much of a coffee guy but damn some black would be good right now too

Egg and bacon and a nespresso coffee. Im still hungry though... Might eat some more before i take the dog out for a run when the sun rises in an hour.

I'm no Dorion fan, but our @hole owner is the reason we need to move EK, not Pierre.
