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

[Vergil]

Make him bleed Dorion. If it's Wilson who wanted Karlsson, make sure you made him pay for it after the whole Hoffman thing.

Can we get a live look at SpezDispenser's response to the actual return????

 

[MoreMogilny]

I genuinely feel bad for Sens fans.

Where’s the impact piece in return? How do you trade a guy like Karlsson and only get quantity in return? Late 1sts or 2nds and meh players? Pacioretty got more. Adam Larsson got more. This is a horrible trade.

Thursday is now better than Friday.

Dark time in history for Sens fans. Hopefully, they clean house with management and start the franchise fresh. There is nothing to salvage on that roster.

 

[DRW204]

no extension part of the deal

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

San Jose and Colorado win this deal.

 

[sens13]

worst trade in nhl history

 

[MXD]

Shades of Roy to Avs. Just insane they didn't get one of Meier, Hertl or Dell. I feel really bad for all Sens fans and EK, I truly believe he wanted to be a lifer, this just reeks of Ballard's shenanigans with Sittler.

... Roy to the Avs was actually an awesome trade compared to this one.

I mean... the 3rd piece in that deal (at the time of that, it was Martin Rucinsky) is better than anything Ottawa ended up with.

The Sharks fans crowing about Tierney are hilarious. Imagine trading for the league's best defenceman and being upset that you had to give up - as the main piece - a third line centre.

 

[SpezDispenser]

That last conditional pick is hilarious. Why even deal with wilson! How does wilson get dorion to forgive him for the last deal!

That last conditional pick is awesome. That's a great little piece tacked on. What could you possibly laugh about that particular caveat? Unless I read it wrong, if he signs with an Eastern team, we get another 1st. Lol?

 

[baton elevated]

buffalo another franchise player coming their way ha aha Thanks Ottawa

 

[BB88]

Montreal vs Ottawa will be a thing of beauty next season.

This is just ...ng brutal.

 

[paulhiggins]

Even as a Leafs fan I feel no other emotions except sorrow for the unfortunate fans of that disgracefully manged team in Ottawa. Please show your owner how you must feel and boycott all Senators events and merchandise. Melnyk is making Harold Ballard look smart.

Thanks for the memories. We had some great competitive games over the years.

 

[Tysonson3]

LOOOOOOOOOL!!!!! Condition stopping sharks from dealing him for a better deal like last time

 

[Dr Pepper]

Sens fans, upon seeing what Dorion ended up getting for their franchise blueliner, after months of negotiations:

 

[Empoleon8771]

I will say, though, that this return is significantly less bad with the thought that Karlsson isn't getting an extension with it. How much more could you have realistically expected for 1 year of Karlsson? I thought it was terrible because I expected it to be a sign and trade, but I don't see how you could have expected more for 1 year of Karlsson.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

So, any word if salary waa retained, or if the sharks are going to make another deal?

I believe have 4 mill cap and Karlsson is 6.5, no ?

 

[theMajor]

I think it's clear he wasn't going to sign with any team. He's more than likely going to free agency.

imagine if he goes right back to the Sens. lol

 

[flyerslducks]

lol totally forgot they gave their first for duchene. IDIOTS LOL. If ottowa is a bottom 5 team, which they can be, avs are going to get a stud lol

 

[The Great Weal]

They didn't even get a guaranteed 1st for this year wtf

 

[Tkachuky]

Even as a rental... EK returns a blue chip prospect...

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Where are those Sens fans that wanted Nylander+....I wouldn’t have traded Nylander solo for that package you got.

 

[Smif]

tbh its not that bad considering its an expiring deal. Balcers and norris are decent prospects. One is a 1st rounder and the other is developing nicely. Then they get another first and 2nd round pick condition that could turn into another 1st. Thats 3 first rounders for a rebuilding team. Ottowa is in better shape than montreal, especially if they can get jack hughes.

Lol...Every trade Ottawa makes is worse because they don't have their 1st Rd pick this year.

 

[1909]

Congrats to the Avalanche for securing the #1 overall pick and the right to draft Jack Hughes in June.

No. he is OURS ! Habs will win that lottery.

 

[Trinity]

I think everyone is majorly over-reacting. I understand Karlsson is probably the best defenseman in this league but he has 1 year left. For an unextended Karlsson, Ottawa still got 2 firsts (if you count Norris), and 2 seconds, with the potential for one of those becoming the third first round pick in this deal.
Surely they might have been able to get a better prospect in another deal but all in all I don't think it is as bad as people are making it out to be.
On the other hand, Ottawa doesn't have their first round pick this year and are going to be just awful so there's that.

The Sens will be pretty good for an AHL team!

 

[BillDineen]

Sad Ottawa. Just sad.
