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

[Noble]

Sharks will get a better return if they decide to trade him at the deadline before his contract expires.

Sens did an absolute trash job on this trade.

lmao

 

[Sundance]

hopefully this puts San Jose over the edge for that long-awaited cup.

 

[CupsOverCash]

This is why the return was low. Amazing.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I wonder how mad Burns and Vlasic are at the moment.

Glad you mean?

No ****ing way just got a twitter dm from my uncle he's literally packing up his car right now with a sleeping bag full of vodka bottles and plans on driving up to the Tire Centre to stage some sort of protest LOLOLOLWOW

LOL

Ottawa is screwed

Lol keep us posted please.

 

[VickAshley]

So productive

He's normally very cool, calm and collected but I think that this trade made him snap off the deep end of the cliff.

 

[yvrtojfk]

It's not even funny anymore, I just feel sorry for the Sens fans. This is f***ing brutal to watch and the season just started.

 

[RASHBEEP]

i can't stop laughing

 

[AK87]

I feel the Stars could have given a better package than what SJ did...

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Was Thornton always 39y, or Pavelski 34y, or Burns 33y when those comments were made? No, they were in their primes.

The superstars of the team are getting old and theyll be struggling to rebuild the prospect pool in the following years.

People like you have been saying those guys or other similar guys like Marleau and Boyle before them were declining. Don't pretend like this is some new take on the Sharks. I've heard this stuff since at least 2010.

 

[Grabner]

Hahahaha omg
Joe Sakic right now

 

[benedictTavares]

I guess this is the return you get for unsigned EK. He absolutely DESTROYED Ottawa's leverage with refusing extensions.

 

[Ishad]

I'm not even considering that. Why would they trade him?

The Hoffman special.

 

[MeanMugging91]

Wow this is brutal for sen fans... I'm speechless. I wanna laugh but I sincerely feel bad. Colorado and San Jose are the true winners here

 

[BB88]

They have to go all in, this season.

They have a helluva window but it's a short window.

If I was player, superstar looking for 8 year contract extension I wouldn't do it with a team like that, there are better longterm teams out there with contending window already going.

 

[DFC]

That proves exactly nothing. Typical response. I mean, let's wait and see what happens before idly speculating about other players and what they may or may not do.

Sens fans should be long, long past the "Nothing to see here" route. Your franchise is burning down.

 

[4thline]

We paid more for McDonagh. Ottawa got less for arguably the best defensman of the modern era.

That's not true, you're just more familiar with the pieces you gave up and are forgetting that JT Miller was a part of that trade

 

[The3rd]

We paid more for McDonagh. Ottawa got less for arguably the best defensman of the modern era.

I don't disagree at all. I think Ottawa did awful job here...It's sad when Francis Perron may be one of the better prospects in the deal...I just think Ottawa and TB became stubborn and the deal ended happening in SJ. It hurt both teams ultimately.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Sens are about to get pantsed

And swirly'ed

 

[BatVader]

Now watch EK return to Ottawa as a UFA.....lol

 

[Empoleon8771]

If he stays the Sharks still need to make the Cup final this year for them to get the conditional pick. It's really bad.

What? That's not a condition, that's a condition on a conditional pick. If the Sharks re-sign Karlsson and make the cup finals in 2019, then the Sens get a 2021 1st. If they just re-sign Karlsson, it's a 2021 2nd. If they don't re-sign him, it's nothing.

 

[BB88]

People like you have been saying those guys or other similar guys like Marleau and Boyle before them were declining. Don't pretend like this is some new take on the Sharks. I've heard this stuff since at least 2010.

Again these guys aren't in 2010 forms anymore/won't be longer.

You don't have an elite prospect pool and these deals make sure you won't have one soon.

 

[Icebreakers]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

“Point + Sergachev + Foote ++” lmfao

They basically got the same value in this trade.

 

[Ishad]

I wonder how mad Burns and Vlasic are at the moment.

Probably as mad as Matthews was when they added JT.
