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

[thekernel]

If you like magic beans, we hit the jackpot. Otherwise, this is like the Spezza trade all over again with a much better player being traded away.

All I'm saying is that even if the return is underwhelming, it's not even in the same league as the dicking Edmonton received in the Hall trade. At the very least, Tierney and DeMelo are NHL players, not magic beans.

 

[TheNewEra]

It ensures nothing of the sort.

yes it does lol

 

[Keduzin]

”If you are excited, that makes me excited, and the fans get excited and the sponsors get excited...”

Jesus christ I feel for the Ottawa fans !!!

 

[Fire Sweeney]

While Eriksson is incredibly overrated, you would think the the best 4th forward in the league would bring back at least one good asset.

 

[4thline]

This isn't me defending the deal because it's not a good return at all, but I think people are overrating how much 1 year of Karlsson should have actually brought back. Personally, I think it's crap because of the amount of quantity they got,

I honestly don't know what people were expecting. Rentals don't return core pieces.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

For Karlsson it would be best to go all in with San Jose for 1 year and then pick a new team next summer.

San Jose will be deadly for now but in few years they'll start a heavy decline.

People have been saying this for years and it hasn't happened yet. If they extend Karlsson, it won't happen anytime soon either.

A proposal thread where the OP posted that as his offer would have been locked real quick.

This....

 

[RangerDoggo]

So what city is getting the Sens team? because they are done in that town..

Eugene Melnyk should be forced to sell the team. He is a demon.

 

[Cynick]

At least the Islanders got the same return for Tavares

 

[The Macho King]

All I'm saying is that even if the return is underwhelming, it's not even in the same league as the dicking Edmonton received in the Hall trade. At the very least, Tierney and DeMelo are NHL players, not magic beans.

I know when I trade a hall of famer in his prime, I'm looking for NHL players in return and nothing less!

 

[SpezDispenser]

Keep up that optimism. It'll make this season easier (before it gets harder).

I actually don't think Duchene liked Karlsson at all, so I doubt him being traded bears any relevance to him signing or not.

 

[I am not exposed]

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

Dude stop. You're embarrassing us Panther fans with a comment like this.

 

[slimbob8]

ITT: fans forget get that "qUaliTY not QuAntiTy" is a fan fantasy, also forget that rental prices are different than those of term assets, also show ignorance of San Jose's system

This package is lightyears better than Patches, and solidly better than McDonagh.

Agreed about the quantity/quality point. These forums insist 90% of the time they're only interested in quality deals when in reality most trades are quantity.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Hey no reason for all of that cursing we are all hockey fans here.

He’s usually pretty good, obviously just really upset.

 

[Stuzchuk]

Literally summed up how I feel. Got hosed in the Duchene trade and Karlsson trade. I feel really bad for Sens fans anyone deserves better fortunes. They overpaid on Duchene and and got back pennies on the dollar for Karlsson

I'm kind of speechless...

What we get when
Cheap Owner = Bad GM, Poor Scouts and Unqualified coaching staff

 

[Stylizer1]

Karlsson is going to re-sign in Ottawa.

 

[Sota Popinski]

That is

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

If only San Jose had a Marc Eduoard Vlasic type...

 

[The Macho King]

I actually don't think Duchene liked Karlsson at all, so I doubt him being traded bears any relevance to him signing or not.

Yeah probably not.

 

[HanSolo]

I'm so sorry Ottawa fans.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Damn it, Melnyk! You're making me feel sorry for Sens fans.

 

[God King Fudge]

That's exactly what they should have done.

Agreed.

It seems like the location was more important than the return for OTT. If you're OTT and can't get EK to sign an extension pre trade, why not just 1) hold onto him until the deadline and sell him to whoever the hell you want (minus his 10 teams) for a bluechip and a first or 2) if you really want it done before camp, say damn the location and take the best return so we can sell it to our fans. What are you selling in this deal to OTT fans? That you really didn't want to play against him much? Cause that's all I can really see out of this.

They take a poor return and even include clauses to try and keep him from the East, but without him signing an extension, there's a pretty high chance he just ends up in TB anyway.

 

[Terry Yake]

why the hell would the sens deal with the sharks again after the whole hoffman thing?

wilson just took dorion on a walk once again. SJ has to be the favorite now to make it out of the west

 

[Silky mitts]

It's a terrible return for Ottawa. San Jose doesn't care about cheap and under control for years. They care about winning a Cup now. You can always find cheap bodies through FAs. Guys who are looking to rebound. Role players who get overlooked and catch fire in the playoffs. You can NOT say the same about a player of Erik Karlsson's calibre.

All true except for you can probably find a guy like Karlsson in free agency next year because he'll probably play out his deal. Ottawa lost the deal but they don't care about winning a Cup now. Braun was a guy people were posting could be included, that's the type of guy you can get in free agency that Ottawa wouldn't value, they could look at the guys they got and say at least they represent savings.

HF breaking in 3....2....1....

Jokes been done numerous times already...fail

 

[Pyrophorus]

Two things:
Many people have said, you won't get much for a rental...and it was true, but still poor asset management by PD.

Bolts fans said that in year 3 of Boucher, he had a terrible team and defence, Sens fans said that obvously it wouldn't be the
case. No, its coming full circle.

 

[SpezDispenser]

yes it does lol

It most certainly does not.
