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

[Cor]

Ottawa may not get a single draft pick in 2019 in return for Erik Karlsson.

Edit: Wrong. They get a 2019 2nd. Thought it was 2020 for some reason

 

[DekeyPete]

rip sens. sorry sens fans. wow, this is brutal!

 

[TOG26]

That Hoffman clause.... Priceless.

"If Karlsson is on an Eastern Conference roster (reserve list) during the 2018-19 season, the Senators will receive an additional first round pick from the Sharks no later than 2022."

 

[Lion Hound]

Wow, Burns and Karlsson on the same team. Right Side is stacked in SJ. Wonder if they can keep him there?

 

[strictlyrandy]

Sens got hosed. How has Melnyk not driven the majority of that fan base away?

 

[Syckle78]

I love how the Sens press release boasts that they acquired six assets. Quantity over quality I guess?

That's f***ing embarrassing. Way to sell it. We got six assets!!! Woohoo!!!

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Kris Draper for $1 says hello & respectfully disagrees

Adam Oates for 1 year of an old Bernie Federko was pretty brutal

 

[Stephen]

All Senators tickets are now $19.99 includes 1 hot dog ,1 drink and paper a bag to wear over your head at the games

Sena-tears are free.

 

[DieSendungmitderMaus]

I'm just happy he didn't go to Tampa. Congrats SJ, you just acquired an all time great. Best Dman since Lidström.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Just curious, has Senators sold their season tickets yet?

 

[NyQuil]

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

Those Sens fans have more of a brain than our GM apparently.

 

[PlietscherDassel]

This can't be true. Even as a Leafs fan I just feel sorry for Sens fans at this point.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Conditions of the trade as per NHL.com

The Senators acquired four players: centre Josh Norris (San Jose's 2017 19th overall draft choice), forward prospect Rudolfs Balcers, centre Chris Tierney and defenceman Dylan DeMelo.

The deal includes the following:

• Ottawa receives San Jose's first-round choice in either 2019 or 2020 (not lottery protected); if the Sharks miss the playoff in 2018-19 it will be a 2019 selection, otherwise it will be in 2020.

• Ottawa receives a second-round choice in the 2019 draft from San Jose (which will be the higher of the two picks the Sharks currently own, the Florida Panthers and their own);

The deal also includes two conditional picks:

• Should the Sharks sign Karlsson to a contract extension, Ottawa receives San Jose's second-round selection in 2021, which would upgrade to a first-round selection (not lottery protected) if San Jose reaches the Stanley Cup Final in 2019.

• If Karlsson is on an Eastern Conference roster (reserve list) during the 2018-19 season, the Senators will receive an additional first round pick from the Sharks no later than 2022.

 

[Ivan13]

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

Nah, Dorion included a brilliant way to prevent that. If EK shows up on EC team's reserve list this year the Sharks need to send a 2022 1st rounder to Ottawa. I shit you not What a genius.

 

[Hansen]

oh god this tweet is so sad lmao

 

[The Macho King]

Maybe that's it? Maybe EK doesn't want to re-sign in SJ?

I could see it. It's an older team. Burns is in his thirties. Pavelski is as well. Thornton is old as dirt. Vlasic is 31. Couture is the youngest and I think he's like 29?

And then you have Evander Kane and Tomas Hertl - good, young-ish players but neither are worldbeaters. Maybe this is for one last swing for the fences for SJ.

 

[DFC]

Sounds like no extension, which explains the low quality return.

 

[Unspecified]

That is

Burns and Karlsson on the same team is insane.

That is a whole lot of offensive from the back end and no stay at home help.

Me trying to make sense of this one sided trade

reverse vampires make more sense than this return

 

[Magic Mittens]

Dorion: Give me Heiskanen or I send him to SJ for peanuts
Nill: haha no GM is that stupid
Dorion: Hold my beer...

 

[Robert Kentwood]

imagine if he goes right back to the Sens. lol

If they get rid of Melnyk, it's for sure a possibility.

 

[CanuckGame39]

Wow. This was the return for the best Dman in the NHL.

No ****ing chance I could cheer for that franchise. Sens fans more than welcome to hop on team Vancouver.

 

[Emerica]

Sens got hosed. How has Melnyk not driven the majority of that fan base away?

Have you not been following? He has.

 

[NyQuil]

Just curious, has Senators sold their season tickets yet?

They have a franchise low 4,000.

I didn't cancel mine fast enough.

They will be cancelled the following year.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Wow, this reminds me so much of the Jagr to Capitals trade.

Yikes, now that you mention it there are a lot of similarities.

Names like Beech, Sivek, and Lupaschuk are all guys whose crowning glory was being part of that trade.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

So;

Chris Tiernay
Dylan Demelo
Josh Norris
Rudolfs Balcers
1st 2019 OR 2020 (Not sure whose choice it is)
2nd 2020
2nd 2021 (Becomes a 1st if Erik Karlsson re-signs with SJS)
1st in 2021 or 2022 (OTT receives if Karlsson plays for Eastern team in 2018-19) [ ]

for

Erik Karlsson
Francis Perron

It's a 2019 2nd isn't it?

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

He must be telling teams "I am 10000% testing free agency on July 1". That is the only way this makes any sense and even then it's borderline on sanity.

 

[Canucks777]

Not even Merkley?

 

[SniperOnTheWing]

That Hoffman clause.... Priceless.

"If Karlsson is on an Eastern Conference roster (reserve list) during the 2018-19 season, the Senators will receive an additional first round pick from the Sharks no later than 2022."

Nothing stopping the Sharks from still flipping him to an eastern team, getting a new 1st from them, and giving their sure to be worse 1st rounder to the Sens lol
