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

[NDiesel]

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

Lol is this a joke? I'm sure the stacked superstar Vegas roster was one of the 5 teams before the season started that had a shot at the cup last year too.

 

[Tysonson3]

So Ceci-Boro first pairing?

 

[The Macho King]

Duchene is as good as gone. No way he's happy with the return.

 

[Aoko]

Apparently Dorion fell in love with Wilson the last time he ****ed him and wanted more.

My sides... I can't stop laughing this is actually hurting

 

[Leonhard Euler]

All the GMS should pull off good old fantasy hockey move and veto that trade

 

[Iceman]

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

People are in cardiac arrest after having read the return for Karlsson. They are unable to browse the forum right now.

 

[Jarey Curry]

We need NHL 19 roster update bad

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Western conference is a bloodbath now. Absolute arms race

Still dont know if I would call SJS favorites

 

[NyQuil]

That probably the major thing everyone seems to overlook right now.

Does anybody really believe that a team wouldn't have beaten that offer easily if Karlsson would have been willing to extend with them?

Really?

Thats why Pacioretty got decent value and thats why the EK trade looks like it looks right now...

EK wants to either hit UFA at all costs or simply does not want to extend with any team right now that was in the mix.

This is basically San Jose trading for a rental for now and going all-in...

Thats why this looks like a rental return because it is...

Do you realize that if there is an extension, they get a measly 2nd round pick in addition?

 

[The List Of Jericho]

No one...

So you’re saying that Sens fans on here didn’t demand blue chip players for Karlsson. You don’t want the smoke....

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

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

ah yes sure Fleury will surely carry all this all over again....

 

[SniperHF]

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

Yeah
The web people did a lot of optimizations after what was learned from the unintentional load testing of the TDL/Draft/FA period

 

[666]

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

More like a made for TV OJ drama.

 

[MasterMatt25]

I really wana know what other teams were offering

If Vegas was actually offering GLass, Theodore, 1st how the f*** did Ottawa think this was better

 

[4thline]

Balcers is crazy skilled, though. And Norris is a very good prospect. Just because they are from San Jose and nobody talks about them means they are bad prospects. Its an okay return for a guy who was going to leave real soon.

No kidding. 24 Year old 2C on a good contract, 1+2nd, and 2 good prospects is nothing to sneeze at.

 

[AmericanDream]

man, I was hoping SJ would flip him to the Panthers just for the drama of the "wives"....

 

[Cor]

So it sounds like no team was willing to give up any sort of tier 1 or tier 2 prospects in the deals. Roster Filler, Draft Picks, and Tier 3-5 prospects.

 

[Stand Witness]

For a rental, it isn't that horrible of a return but the scariest thing for Sens fans imo is...

1) They don't have their 1st
2) They don't have a 1st this year

I honestly think flipped Karlsson for their own 1st would have been a smarter move. At least sucking would pay off.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Poor return, but what I expected at this point. They waited too late and the GMs called their bluff.

 

[ijuka]

So basically Erik Karlsson for Tierney, some spare parts, a first and a second? Yeah, OK...

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Duchene is as good as gone. No way he's happy with the return.

Stone too most likely. And probably missing out on a top 4 pick to add more salt in the wound

 

[Artorius Horus T]

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

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

Yeah but Ottawa wanted to switch Suzuki to Glass, but Vegas didn't,

 

[VickAshley]

How does this blockbuster of a trade compare to the Bears trading for Khalil Mack from the Raiders? On a level of "equal to" or way bigger then, or not as big?

 

[easton117]

Just throwing this out there. But my offer of Bjork, Carlo and a 1st looks like a massive overpayment now

 

[robertocarlos]

EK and a Cup for a bunch of slugs. The rest of the west should be embarrassed they couldn't do better.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

I was here when Karlsson got traded.

me too!

 

[God King Fudge]

They would have gotten a better return at the deadline lol
