But odds are Karlsson isn't scoring 100 points again, his on-ice value will never be higher than it is now.

Yet the value isn’t going to be very high because there are only a couple of teams trying to acquire him. If Pittsburgh was a major possibility, the ask can’t be very high. They have one of the worst farms.
point of clarification (after the trade problem a few years ago), the NMC gets updated each year, varies by contract and can be set only once, etc.?

~41 mins in Johnston links CAR to Tarasenko, but talks in the past tense
Also some stuff about Karlsson right before the Tarasenko bit ~38Mins in. Nothing really new, “now or never” type wording for the Sharks dealing him.

Oh f*** no.
I hope I never have the misfortune of watching him for one of my teams again.
I see Tarasenko happening before Karlsson.

Pesce for Bouchard
Send out Skjei for futures and use them in a package for Lindholm or TK.

While I'd gladly take Bouchard, I can't see EDM making that trade.

Nylander asking for $10M+ in Toronto. Sorry bro, Dubas ain't there anymore.

Guy I work with is a Canes fan, not hard core but goes to a few games.. his brother is a hard core fan with season tickets. His brother said he will be shocked if the Canes sign Tarasenko due to the asking price.

He's on his way out, just trying to find the right mix for returns.
If Toronto and Pitt are out and Seattle doesn’t wanna pay the price then it’s basically Carolina. Also karlsson may not even waive to go to Seattle which could just eliminate them altogether
Honestly, Seattle would be a good fit if Ronnie wants to pull of a big trade....
....hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Had to be said.

Marek had Cory Lav on 1:23:00 mark.
Nothing groundbreaking. Everything we know he just reiterated

You'll have to pry Jeff Skinner, Justin Faulk and Haydn Fleury out of his cold, dead hands.

Yeah, if it's down to just Carolina and Seattle, I think Karlsson would clearly prefer waiving to Carolina.
In addition to being an annual cup contender for several years now, it also helps that we have one of his former teammates with Burns. Who gives a shit about what Frank thinks with "the fit." Karlsson would work well for us, and our front office will make the appropriate trade(s) afterwards on the blue line.
Not to mention North Carolina weather>>> Seattle weather.
For sure you know burns has already called Karlsson and talked the team and city up
I have the Hurricanes winning the SC and the Red Wings as the worst team in the league. The former Bogart. @DaveG @tarheelhockey

I just spent 2 weeks in Seattle and I’ll take their weather 10/10 vs the absolute swamp ass that is NC right now.

Shocking that Seravalli likes the fit of a player somewhere other than Carolina.
At the end of the day, Karlsson wants to win a Cup, and he has a much better chance of doing that here than Seattle

But the weather right now doesn’t really matter. A lot of players go back “home” during the summer months.

This.
They often leave and escape the North Carolina humidity during the summer.
Beats all of the rain Seattle typically gets.

I guess if we’re going to debate something as subjective as climate preferences I should have made a more clear statement.
I’ve got a sister that’s lived in Seattle for almost 10 years. I’ve personally been to Seattle a total of 15 times in my adult life, covering all seasons. Never once did I remotely miss the Piedmont area of NC due to weather.

If he's talking in terms of what assets they'd be willing to give up Seattle probably is a better fit. We'll still have a majorly overloaded defense either way even without EK.
