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

[Fire Benning]

Return was obviously damaged by not having a pre-ordained contract extension. But not being able to get a single blue chip asset in this trade is pretty rough.

 

[Face Of Bear]

No 2019 1st, no top prospect, no high end roster players...

These pieces gear Ottawa up for a window 5+ years from now (IF the conditions are paid and IF the picks and prospects are developed.

 

[HisIceness]

I just.... wow.

I'm having flashbacks to when the Seattle Sonics traded Ray Allen in 2007. Everyone knew at that point the Sonics were gone from that city. But they at least had a 19 y/o Kevin Durant on the roster.

The Senators franchise is screwed.

 

[HockeyThoughts]

I dont see how this is a bad trade for the Sens.

They got back a recent 2017 1st rounder, s 2019 1st and 2nd, 25 year old Tierney coming off a 40pt year, a 24 year old defenseman coming off a shortened 20pt year and two lottery players for ONE season of Erik Karlsson.

 

[Volica]

Feels bad man.
Ottawa gets ripped and Karlsson’s in the Pacific.

 

[leafsfan1234]

Matt Duchene, Chris Tierney, Jean Gabriel Pageau,
Colin White, Logan Brown, Mark Stone,Ryan Dzingel,
Bobby Ryan,Mikkel Bödker,Brady Tkachuk, Magnus Pääjärvi,
Zach Smith, Tom Pyatt

That forward 13some does not look that bad to me, quite good actually, (or relatively good at least)
sure the defense and goaltending is at AHL level, soooooo....T-R-A-S-H!

Looks pretty good relative to the average AHL team I suppose.

 

[Laus723]

No, because losing Tavares is what spurred the Islanders to bring in Lou and fire Snow and Weight

Lol, this may spur the Sens moving Dorion...still, they got several assets for a guy who was gone and can start moving on before camp.

[Icebreakers]

I wonder how little Vegas was offering?

Obviously not Branstrom or Glass. The offer wouldnt have been much without those two. Theodore + first + bunch of scrap probably.

ouuufff

 

[Thread The Needle]

But that's the thing, isn't it? If you can't get Karlsson to agree to a pre trade extension, why not wait til the deadline? Or why even worry about sending him to one of those "shortlist" teams like SJ, DAL, VGK, TB, etc?

There will be lesser players than Karlsson that get moved for better returns at the deadline this season. Hell, SJ could move him at the deadline this season and get back better than what they paid. I just find it so very difficult to believe that what they received was the best offer on the table.

You just added reason number 2000 for why this is a bad trade.

 

[VictorLustig]

Now Sharks can just sit and wait for a teams to go after him at the trade deadline. Will likely get more back than what they gave the Sens. Or they sign him in the best of worlds. What a win.

 

[viper0220]

There's suddenly a lot of people in Ottawa ordering Leaf jerseys

Who do you think will be the #1 jersey seller in Ottawa, Tavares or Matthews

 

[Voight]

Everybody who told me SJ’d pieces weren’t appealing to Ottawa and that Dorion wouldnt trade with Wilson owes me an apologyb

Its more like he wanted to send him west and SJ had the best crappy package.

 

[muzion]

Teams unwilling to trade within the division are shooting themselves in the foot.

 

[Breakers]

I imagined Karlsson brining back a blue chip talent -- Top 20 prospect not in the NHL

Wayyyyyy too much quantity in this trade, with no real quality.

 

[sxvnert]

Sens want to tank and rebuild. This trade allow them to do it. Its as good a package as you were going to get for a one year rental.

 

[VickAshley]

To be honest If I'm Karlsson I would much rather live inside sunny San Jose then live in the much colder great white north of Canada but that's just me....

Holly shit, I never thought about that

 

[Grigowski]

Congratulations Sharks. Steal of the ****ing century.

If the AVS get Hughes 2019... That will make the steal of the century....

Jesus, i start to feel sorry for the fans in ottawa. No one deserves such a shitshow....

 

[Nadal On Clay]

The Colorado Avalanche are proud to select, Jack Hughes.

Karlsson Sharks Jersey

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Dorion is going to come out and address how he clearly won the trade,

‘Look here dummies, Tierney had 40 points and Demelo had 20. Karlsson only had 62. So I matched his production and got four additional assets. You should all be happy’

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I dont see how this is a bad trade for the Sens.

They got back a recent 2017 1st rounder, s 2019 1st and 2nd, 25 year old Tierney coming off a 40pt year, a 24 year old defenseman coming off a shortened 20pt year and two lottery players for ONE season of Erik Karlsson.

This is the return many here expected but there was a pretty large group of people claiming EK returns a young star like Draisaitl or Nylander.

That is why people are laughing at the value. Also the recent 1st rounder as well as future picks are likely to be late. As others have pointed out there isn't one blue chip prospects, pick or player is this package. That is a little suprising.

 

[JT Kreider]

Lol, this may spur the Sens moving Dorion...still, they got several assets for a guy who was gone and can start moving on before camp.

Sens can fire Dorion but they'll still be just as dysfunctional with Melnyk. Lou and Trotz is a drastic culture change for the Islanders. For the first time they have stable and credible leadership
