Confirmed Trade: [OTT/SJ] Erik Karlsson and Francis Perron for Tierney, DeMelo, Norris, Balcers, 1st, 2nd, cdnl picks

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Alex Burrows for Jonathan Dahlen is the worst trade Pierre Dorion will ever make.


Pierre Dorion- Hold my beer

 

[Leonhard Euler]

I wonder if they will run 2D on their Power Play. Kinda unimaginable that either Burns or Karlsson would not play top unit

 

[Mikeyg]

New thread on hf habs right now "MARC BERGAVAIN GM FANTASTIQUE" MB making dorion look like a poop, and MB is a noob himself!

 

[Hivemind]

Poor Ottawa fans

 

[BKarchitect]

How did the Sharks pull this off? Balcers is underrated but the Sens didn’t get a single blue chip prospect or young player out of this. You could argue there’s a more than decent chance they didn’t get a single part that will ever be a top 6 forward or top 4 defender out of this package. A bunch of useful depth parts of EK, UFA to be or not is simply not good enough.

This has to be non extended Karlsson...has to be for that return

 

[Pocket Hercules]

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

And no 1st round pick to look forward to. At least the Leafs got Phil Kessel in exchange for their blunder...Ottawa has no silver lining on their horizon. I love it!

[JT Kreider]

Pacioretty got more than that!!

He'll Rick Nash got more than that

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Man I knew the return was going to be underwhelming but this is crazy how did no one beat that?

 

[LokiDog]

DELLANDREA WAS THE DEAL BREAKER. ARE YOU KIDDING ME JIM NILL

... what does Heiskanen even have to do with it at this point? I probably wouldn’t move Heiskanen on his own for the package Ottawa accepted.

 

[sens13]

what is this bullshit? how the f*** is this even possible? this is so lopsided.

 

[Rebels57]

This might actually be the worst trade in NHL history.

I really didn't expect it to be this bad.

How do you not get Hertl or Meier back as part of the package at the very least? We are talking about a hall of fame defensemen in his prime here. This is criminal.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

i fully agree

this feels like burke era leafs insanity

all over again

More like JFJ.

 

[Charlie Conway]

I'm feeling like I won the lottery if I'm Perron...escaping that black hole.

 

[1967th Heaven]

posting in legendary thread, ottawa just exploded

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I expected better NHL roster players, I don't know much about Balcers but this deal could work out long term but you put a lot of pressure on your scouts.

 

[780il]

I'm gonna check out the Sens forum. Should be crazy in there.

Same lol

 

[DRW204]

DELLANDREA WAS THE DEAL BREAKER. ARE YOU KIDDING ME JIM NILL

SJS benefited from complete stupidity...

 

[bluesfan94]

I have a feeling Karlsson made it known that he would not be extending and thus this is for a rental player. Then, the market is further limited by cap space and the fact that Ottawa wanted him to go to the Western Conference. Still a bad return, but I get why it was bad.

 

[CupInSIX]

didn't even get a 2019 1st

 

[nerdybeard]

Our D corps is now stacked.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

LOL

Melnyk strikes again

I feel bad for Dorion here, because he is a puppet to Melnyks checkbook

 

[dasaybz]

So is the first going to Buffalo not lottery protected anymore?

 

[From The Couch]

And people said my offer of Foote, Cirelli and Raddysh wasn't "enough" rotflmao

LOL it seems like these trades always happen and everyone's SHOCKED they didn't get enough. They are quick to shoot down your offer saying "what? for Karlsson that's not nearly enough" then when the trade actually happens they're stunned.

 

[Shagged Yer Nan]

And I thought the Erat, Forsberg trade was bad.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

[M.C.G. 31]

This is an awful trade. Holy shit.
