Beauty of a trade!

Man, I wish we’d done this. We could have slightly upgraded every piece in the deal.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Should've just traded Karlsson for their own 1st back.

That clearly wasn't on the table and is in no way close to the return they just got.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Looks pretty terrible a deal for Sens

Congrats Shark fans , Avalanche fans , Shark management and Avalanche management

 

[Whaleafs]

Don’t get too comfortable in case he gets flipped to Florida

 

[Devilsfan118]

I don't understand how a bunch of other teams weren't able to beat this.

 

[Cor]

Tierney and Demelo are decent young players, but I'm not high on Josh Norris at all, and the draft picks will all be late.

I assume the two conditional picks are aroud whether Karlsson extends or not. We'll need to see what those picks actually are.

Overall, pretty medicore, but at least Ottawa can try and move forwa- Oh, they have Stone and Duchene to go through this process with now? Oh boy

 

[Vesna]

Hey Ottawa fans, i crying with you, be stronger

 

[iBlaze81]

If Karlsson doesn't sign an extension, than the return isn't terrible.

 

[Big Cactus]

Fire Wilson lol? Jeez that’s a wicked trade for San Jose

 

[Taluss]

Your telling me Dorion that there wasn’t a better offer then that???? are you FKing kidding

 

[PensandCaps]

So Hoffman getting flipped was key...no way EK accepts a deal to SJS with him there.

 

[CupsOverCash]

If Karlsson extends this will be the worst trade ever.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

They basically got for Karlsson what the Sabres got for ROR.

 

[Del Preston]

What happens to Buffalo's pick?

Ottawa got SJ's 2020 1st

I'm going to guess the questions about why Merkley wasn't included will now begin and Dorion will talk about the importance of character in his justification of the return as predicted.

 

[De Montreal]

Trading Francis Perron will come back and bit them in the ass. The guy is a stud.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Very underwhelming at first look at the return...

I don't feel like looking at it any longer will do anything other than maybe cause heartburn.

 

[Tuggy]

This is the type of trade that I would have LOVED to seen proposed before it actually happened. Probably get locked.

 

[Mrb1p]

Loool, poor sens, man.

They get essentialy two late 1st and two late 2nd. Thats so lame.

 

[ovikovy817]

wowowowwo

 

[Afterburner]

Me trying to make sense of this one sided trade

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I said that the Karlsson return was likely to be underwhelming... but this is hilariously bad. I’d rather have what Pacioretty got than this pile of spare parts.

How the hell do you not get Merkeley? What is Dorion DOING??

 

[Calad]

I wonder if one of the conditional picks is based on if he gets traded back to the eastern conference, like SJ did with Hoffman earlier in the summer lol

 

[Charlie Conway]

Is Rudolfs Balcers even a real person? He sounds made up.

Yes, and he's one of the better pieces in the trade.

PPG for Latvia at the QC. 48 points in his first season of AHL games (62 games). Quick offensive player. The question was if his game would translate to NA leagues, and it has so far.
