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

[Liminality]

The Sharks are for sure trading Karlsson to another team for a much better return.

 

[The Macho King]

That... doesn't make it any better? Flip protection?

 

[nilssont]

Sens didnt even get Meier holy cow

 

[BHD]

No offence to Tierney or DeMelo, but I don't think the Sharks parted with any key players.

 

[karnige]

alright alright this is a little better. basically 2 1sts and then who knows. could be worse

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

So what would the comparable from the Leafs have been? Brown, Carrick, Sandin, Timashov, 1st, 2nd? Long way off from the Nylander, Liljegren++ I saw lmao...

Honestly just feel bad for Ottawa at this point. Might as well move Stone and Duchene at this point and take a tonne of bad cap.

 

[Cynick]

Who is happier right now Sharks or Avs fans??

Well, the Sharks are that much closer to a Cup and the Avs are that much closer to a 1st overall pick so I'll guess the former.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Can‘t wait to see the numbers of the re-signing...

 

[CanadienShark]

I am going wild. This is insane. I said like an hr ago that I wanted the Sharks to go all in on Panarin or Karlsson now that Seguin is off the market.

 

[Kranix]

He's gonna get flipped back east.

 

[1909]

Another sad day for the Sens fans.

They were 1 OT goal away from a SC Finals not long ago.

 

[Belzebob]

I think this is just Melnyk helping out bettman.

bettman does not want another Canadian team.

seattle will get the same expansion rules as vegas and pick through teams.

the total mess that is Ottawa will be sold to Quebec city investors and start from scratch

 

[VeeMerk]

Hertl, Braun, Merkley, 1st, another pick?

Maybe not all 3 but definitely 2 out of those 3 and a 1st

 

[LeafGrief]

That's it?

Hooooooo boy

 

[Ishad]

Hahahah, the best part of the trade is making the sharks promise not to flip him back to the east.

 

[Daisy Jane]

i honestly wonder if it would have been better for Ottawa just to keep Karlsson and try at deadline.
that return... oi.

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

Let me tell you just how bad this return is. I didn’t even want Ryan O’Reilly. I was against the premise of acquiring him. And I would have gladly paid this price for him.

 

[New Jersey]

seriously that's all it took?

hilarious.

at least we still have our cap space and karlsson's out of the conference. success.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

That second provision has me dying laughing

 

[Stuzchuk]

I'm kind of speechless...

Cheap Owner = Bad GM, Poor Scouts and Unqualified coaching staff

 

[hersky77]

Bro the return for Rick Nash was stronger

The return for pacioretty was better

 

[Aoko]

My congratulations to everyone who stuck with it to the end

Now we pursue the bread man Panarin if Karlsson resigns with SJ.

 

[Hivemind]

is Nill on glue?
seriously?

I'm more questioning why Ottawa thought they could get Heiskanen from Dallas but then settles for this collection of table scraps from San Jose.

 

[Faltorvo]

I'm on the verge of quitting this team for good.

i don't blame you

as a leafs fan, it's in my nature to hate the sens

but, i just can't salt right now

that would be too harsh

sorry man

 

[DRW204]

The Sharks are for sure trading Karlsson to another team for a much better return.

or keeping him just for the year
