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

[GirardSpinorama]

Why would Ottawa care if Karlsson was traded to the East this year? They've already admitted their rebuilding.

Putting in that condition in lieu of a better asset is hilarious.

Its non sensical, so its probably driven in my melnyek.

That means San Jose gave up a pile of assets to watch Karlsson skate around for a year.

I know everyone is bashing the Sens but what happens this year with SJ and whether Karlsson signs an extension matters a lot.

it really doesn’t

post trade karlsson is now a guy that “skates around”. weird way to talk about a top 5 player in the league

 

[robertocarlos]

Ottawa needed to make this trade for reasons I had forgotten but it's too bad this is the best they could do under circumstances like the Cap and an uncertain future. EK cracking up now, it's very emotional.

 

[Mr Positive]

Kind of odd that they would trade with SJ after what happened with Hoffman

 

[The Macho King]

In a week when McPhee and Bergevin made trades (notoriously awful traders) -

Dorion makes them look like studs (although the Habs actually got a decent return...).

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Karlsson looks like he's going to straight up cry.

He probbly saw what's going back in the trade

 

[Sabre the Win]

Lmao, remember when Ottawa fans were asking for players like Draisitl back for EK? LOL NOPE

Hes worth Draisitl and more, dont judge a bad GM on what Karlsson is actually worth.

 

[Dialamo]

Karlsson looks like he's going to straight up cry.

I'm certain he loves the city and fans of Ottawa. Tough to leave that behind but the current status of the Senators trumps that.

People need to stop comparing quality returns to this quantity return and saying "LOL OTTAWA GOT KILLED!!!". If teams were willing to trade a quality return for Karlsson, the Senators would have gotten a quality return. Obviously, teams didn't want to trade top end prospects and players for a guy with only 1 year left on his deal, so that caused his return to be limited to getting a lot of lesser assets.

Ottawa screwed up here by not shooting for more good prospects like Norris instead of conditional picks in the 2020s, but making fun of them because they didn't get a guy like Draisaitl, Zacha or whatever just isn't fair. That was never going to happen.

 

[kp61c]

they turned down sergachev for this? amazing

 

[llamateizer]

Because of this absolute buffoon.

Who is limiting trading a player within its division? Melnyk or Dorion.
For equals value, you take other conference for sure. But if TBL had the better offer, why not take it.

 

[ViD]

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

What about Vegas?

 

[iCanada]

Melnyk should just sell the team. What a joke.

 

[viper0220]

Erik Karlsson cost the Sharks less than Adam Larsson cost the Oilers.

 

[Echo Roku]

So... the return obviously isn’t great... but how do they look as a team getting all these depth pieces back? Potentially better? Worse? Just for the upcoming year

 

[VickAshley]

You rambling about your uncle again?

He's literally losing his mind and bursting out of his seams in actually worried for him thus time, first the bears lose to the packers and now his fave hockey team gets completely destroyed, he probably needs to be locked up for at least a couple of days and sedated

If you were headed to being a millionaire from the wrong freaking direction you'd be going crazy too.

Eh. It seems pretty clear to me that sending him West was more important than the return since they had to include a conditional pick to try and keep it from happening.

 

[Fordy]

had to share this board with sens fans for the 2017 pens series. and about 4 other different series before that. gotta say, they earned this one

 

[Dominance]

Relocate to Mexico City.

Honestly, this deal is incomprehensibly bad. You can’t make this shit up. A 12 year old could have extracted more.

Un-f***ing-believable. Every goddamn team on the planet could and would have given up more. Dorion will have to go into hiding.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Putting in that condition in lieu of a better asset is hilarious.

because that only makes them look mildly stupid. If the Sharks flipped Karlsson back into the Atlantic for a better return it would make them look extremely stupid

 

[HOPE]

What a shit show, you remove 1-2 pieces and thats the kind of package i expect from petry, it says it all.

 

[TimeZone]

This puts SJ up there with Nashville, Vegas and Winnipeg in the West .

 

[Ragdoll]

Hes worth Draisitl and more, dont judge a bad GM on what Karlsson is actually worth.

In a normal situation, hell yeah he is. Not arguing that but let’s be real, the ask from sens fan considering the circumstances was obnoxious af. They have a guy who has 1 year left and was gonna walk on them so it was a get something or get nothing and you ask for Draisitl, bitch please LOL.

Well, it's hardly surprising given your attitude shown here.
