[Canadian Canuck]

1) How the hell did no team beat that offer
2) WTF is Dorion doing.
3) How does the league let this go through

 

[McNuge]

Holy f***, my condolences Sens fans... no one should have to endure this pain, not even Calgary.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Its a weird condition. It says karlsson has to play on an eastern team in 18/19, which means this upcoming season (the 2018/2019 season). Sj just has to not trade him there like they did with hoffman. Im reading it as it relates to the hoffman deal, who was traded out east so fast. Im laughing cause dorion should never deal with wilson after that trade.

Oh...that sucks then. f*** it all!

 

[Artorius Horus T]

More chance than Vegas atleast

How about no. Vegas is still one of the biggest favorites to win it this season.

 

[Gecklund]

Buffalo has the first no matter what. When Kane signed there, it was bumped to a 1. The question I have is whether or not the pick is still lottery protected now because they can't push it to 2020 because they gave it to Ottawa. I mean, no chance they are a lottery team this year, but I'm just curious.

The Kane pick was lottery protected. So if the Sharks miss the playoffs Ottawa gets the 19 1st and Buffalo the 20. If the Sharks make the playoffs it switches. From what I understand at least.

 

[BatVader]

do Sharks fans expect him to re-sign?

 

[Leafs87]

So sharks take Marleau back next year to play out his last year in SAN Jose ?

 

[yvrtojfk]

I was here when Karlsson got traded.

 

[TT1]

This is just embarrassing, atrocious return for Sens. Atrocious doesn't do this justice, this is atrocious x100.

No A prospect, no good young NHL'er and the 1st is gonna be a late 1st..

 

[flyerslducks]

wait?
they traded Karlsson and they don't have a first round pick this year still?!
What the hell?!

seriously, how did they not even get a first back this year....

 

[fahad203]

So the Sens wanted Pointe from Tempa or nothing
Well, you got nothing

 

[Cor]

If Karlsson could get this return, imagine what face of the franchise Mark Borowiecki will get!

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Laughin' it up over here at the lopsided trade and the fact that so many posters said there was no way the Sharks got Karlsson.

Well the Sens fans demanded a superstar back instead they got a straight to DVD return.

 

[karnige]

The NHL is turning into the NBA. What's the point of a regular season? 5 teams have a shot at the cup.

what? the NBA has a soft cap. they can basically buy whoever they want. NHL is hard cap thats it. like the NFL. it means GMs have to be GMs. dont blame the teams that are managed well as a golden state BS

 

[wonton15]

Vegas (or any other team) couldn't offer more? I wonder what the thought process was on this one...

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

Pacioretty got back a better return

Extension

 

[Godzilla]

Wow.....Habs got more for Pacioretty.

 

[AuraSphere]

If the rumours at trade deadline were true... this is so bad.

Wasn't LV offering 1st + suzuki + brannstrom or something of that sort?

 

[Noble]

The real winner here are the Avs. They could get Jack Hughes after a decent playoff run this season lmao

You guys really should have given up last years pick. Yikes.

 

[DopeyFish]

the thing that's messed up is san jose can now turn around and trade karlsson and completely restock their cupboard and patch their losses of other trades in one move. (extension pending)

dorion is rebuilding the sharks more than the sens

 

[TNT87]

Francis Perron and some other guy goes to SJ.

 

[Zibanejbread]

Shocked HF hasn't crashed yet between this and Seguin today.

 

[1909]

There's probably something more going on here. It must be common knowledge that Karlsson intends to hit the UFA market or intends to sign with a specific club that won't pay out anything in a trade.

So SJ is essentially paying the equivalent of two 1sts and two 2nds for a player that is all but guaranteed to be a rental. If that's the case, this trade makes a lot more sense, and Ottawa actually does alright.

Why doing "allright", when you have the possibility of doing "great" ?

 

[MikeK]

Highway robbery. WTF is OTT doing over there. We haven't seen this kind of a gong show in decades. Feel really bad for Sens fans. They just traded away a generational talent for garbage in comparison.

 

[bluesfan94]

Question. How can SJS trade their 2020 1st Rd pick if it's not guaranteed they'll have it? Or is the pick either 2019 or 2020 depending on what Buffalo does not get?

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Thats is very bad. When I saw the return I assumed that San Jose took Bobby Ryan contract on top of Karlsson as a make weight of the poor return... but no.. not even.
