Why wold Ottawa do this...

 

[NyQuil]

I would do this in 2017 right before the playoffs.

San Jose can’t say yes fast enough.

 

[Not Jared Cowen]

No givebacks. EK will always be a legendary figure in Ottawa but unfortunately he’s no longer even close to the player that dominated the league in Ottawa and his contract would be a death sentence for a team (especially one on Ottawa’s budget) for its duration.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Only way Karlsson goes back to Ottawa is if Melnyk isn't owner anymore and the Sharks take back Murray, Zaitsev, and White. Sharks are eating that contract for better or for worse.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

I'll pick Karlsson up at the Pearson airport and drive him up to Ottawa. Don't worry about paying for mileage.

 

[Sens Vader]

Totally off topic but is Timo Meier available?

And if so what would SJS be looking for

We're not openly shopping him but for the right price anyone on our team is available. The team needs picks and prospects, preferably centers and RHD.

 

[fasterthanlight]

I'll drive him to the airport

I doubt he is available right now due to Kane's situation and Meier's contract. Maybe next off-season or the trade deadline this or next year. They'd get a rental return which would probably be a 1st and a mid-level prospect with the Sharks retaining. If they dealt him now, they'd probably want a forward or two back that can contribute now.

Check his salary, not his cap hit, for the last year of his contract.

He might be a great fit, but he will never be a senator.

 

[T_Cage]

Yeah, nobody is paying positive assets for EK

no saying “oh, he’ll cost 10 firsts to dump” like the typical HFer, but def need to be the one giving assets, not receiving them

That's an easy thing to account for. If the Sharks are renting him out, even for a full season, they can retain half pretty easily. Pretty sure Ottawa wouldn't have a problem paying Meier 5 million for a season.

No, but if they're retaining half his salary then bunch of teams with less cap room are going to offer better picks and prospects compared to a rebuilding Ottawa team.

Possibly. There's a lot of moving parts when it comes to Meier due to his contract and the Sharks situation with Kane. Something like this may not even happen until next season's trade deadline so a lot of things are bound to change for everyone between now and then.

I imagine I will be much easier to get a good return at the 2023 deadline when you can retain 50% and there isn't any term left. I'm in complete agreement.

 

[Qward]

EK would block this with his NMC.
Eugene would block this because of the 33 million in signing bonuses still owed.

You realize Ottawa has an airport right?

Its even international…shocking I know

San Jose would have to give futures to get rid of ek

Sad part is that could mean more than one EK

Bigger issue is his QO. I'd much rather look into Hertl.
