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

[VinikToWinIt]

Meh. Ottawa's gonna need him more than we do, and that'll translate to cash. Don't feel bad for Serg. A few years on a bad team, just like Hedman had, and then, assuming Ottawa gets a new GM and a sane owner, he'll be a star player, getting paid like one.

Just must suck to get traded twice so quickly, to circumstances you can't control.

Tampa Bay Warriors

Except they haven’t won anything.

Nice gems, don't see any rings on the fingers though strange

You think it’s funny but Tampa has has many Cups as the Caps. Plus Stevie Y has a few more of his own.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Maybe because Simmers heavily jumped the gun here when in fact the trade really isn't done yet?

I mean that is modern journalism, right? "I had it first!!!!"

If Foote is part of the deal, Benning needs to pick up the phone and call Dorian and Melnyk and try and take Ryan's salary plus Foote for a bag of pucks.

Love how Ottawa f***s over Sens fans with cant trade Hoffman in the division and then trades with Tampa.

 

[discobob]

"Generational talent" is truly a generational term.

Hoffman's girlfriend is a generational douche

 

[The Beyonder]

Overpayment if true

Overpayment. Bolts just got a franchise defensemen and all they had to pay was a young player and bargain bin players. (yeah, their good, but not compared to the other 2). Not an overpayment at all.

Except they haven’t won anything.

Except they traded for him and didn't get mercenary players via free agency.

Why are guys with blue check-marks silent right now?!?!?!?!?

On vacation drinking margaritas.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

i thought ottawa didnt deal within the division?

 

[Fazkovsky]

Details ?

Sens still need Karlsson to sell the tickets for games when the Bolts come to town.

 

[xteesy]

That’s the rumor.

Not a rumor, that was a guess. At best.

I don't see how Yzerman trades Serg & Foote, just no way it happens.

 

[canadianmagpie]

Colorado will be happy. They get Ottawa's first in 2019 right?

Love how Ottawa ****s over Sens fans with cant trade Hoffman in the division and then trades with Tampa.

No choice, Karl would only sign extension with TB to continue his bromance with Hedman.

That's called learning your lesson. Imagine if they traded him to Vegas, only for Vegas to trade him to Toronto.

 

[Sam Spade]

If this goes down I just don't get it. They didn't lose because of their D, they lost, at least this season, because their big guns didn't show up in the series at even strength.

They are probably trading with Tampa for two reasons:

1) They got laughed at and embarrassed beyond all recognition for the Hoffman debacle.

2) They, like everybody else, saw John Tavares leave the Islanders for nothing.

It's beyond clear to me that both of those situations is why we're here right now. But we gotta thank bitch ass Drouin for helping us get here. Miller/Callahan as well, for taking a silver bullet for us.

 

[Flamesjustwin]

Even the League has stated it was in. That is ok though, at least we have one.

 

[Schenn]

We are edging here!
