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

[JayMan82]

None of those are must protect. Only need to protect NMC.

Will do, thought at least Callahan was a must keep. In any event, I am almost willing to bet Stevey Y will go 7/3 to hold on to Miller/Point/Cirelli/etc.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Lol doubtful Ottawa will take on salary. Do we not know their owner?

TB will have to clear cap space, then offer Point + Segachev + Foote + 1st( if he re-signs)

Expect a Colorado/Duchene type return for Ottawa. I think that's what they will want as a return having gone through the Duchene trade already.

Point and sergachev plus anything is unrealistic Even I can admit. But if we are giving them karlsson. Plus possibly taking back a shit player / contract. I’m gonna expect something special

LOL There is 0 chance they get Point + Serg + Foote + a 1st. good lawd

 

[JayMan82]

That would be a decent deal for both, really.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Fake but Ottawa doesn't get Point AND they get Miller

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I'd be interested to see how Yzerman would make this work beyond next season with an extension in place. You've got Kucherov and Point becoming RFA's in two years. Just hard to see how this would work.

 

[KPower]

That's a huge haul...knew Point wasn't going though.

 

[zeke]

trading point makes no sense imo. even for Karlsson.

 

[Aoko]

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

Can I get a beer and a bologna sandwich?

 

[Del Preston]

JT Miller

Imagine signing a long-term contract with a Cup contender and then getting traded away two weeks later.

 

[Rschmitz]

Sounds made up. Yzerman just signed Miller

 

[Aoko]

That's painful.

Really don't want to lose Serg AND Foote.

But if that's the price to get Karlsson and to keep Point... you do it.

Sounds made up. Yzerman just signed Miller

You can trade players you sign.

 

[AndreRoy]

That would be a decent deal for both, really.

Sure, if it were 2012 and 22-year old Karlsson had just signed his $6.5M x 7 contract.

wow if Dorian gets that, he exceeded my expectations BIGTIME... that would be a massive return

 

[DFC]

Okay let’s forget point. Is cal Foote available. I remember last time we all had this discussion Foote was seen as an absolute untouchable because he was a “redden-OEL hybrid” (I made up OEL but it was a redden something hybrid).

IMO, Foote's availability changed when we were allowed to talk extension with Karlsson. Assuming we have Karlsson in our long-term plans, Foote's on the table.

 

[Rschmitz]

Will do, thought at least Callahan was a must keep. In any event, I am almost willing to bet Stevey Y will go 7/3 to hold on to Miller/Point/Cirelli/etc.

We'd protect Stamkos, Kucherov, Point, Palat

In 2 years Callahan is gone

If it's between losing Sergachev and losing Miller it's an easy decision to make. Seattle does get to cherry pick a nice contributor though. Johnson, Miller, Cirelli, etc. Nothing elite though

 

[AllAbout813]

You can trade players you sign.

Really would be a terrible look for Yzerman in signing players in the future. There has to be some loyalty to players you just negotiated with.

[Willis88]

@TSNSimmer just reported it’s a done deal pending call

 

[Kcb12345]

NOOOO

If Karlsson doesn't return that kind of offer, who does? He is a generational defenceman and a RD.

 

[Aoko]

wow if Dorian gets that, he exceeded my expectations BIGTIME... that would be a massive return

Agreed. But maybe the Rangers get one of the defenders to take on Callahan and Ryan.

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

Again, if we’re trading all that we better be getting McDavid back, not a 28-year old gimpy impending UFA.

Just stop with this. You've made yourself clear for months that you don't want to trade for EK. That's fine and I do not expect the Sens are getting Point back in a trade even if Karlsson is extended, but the downplaying of a guy that had 31 points in his last 31 games of the season is just petty. He has a full offseason to train, something he didn't have last year and whoever lands him is getting a monster on D.
