You wouldn't trade a #1D on a budget team with 3 years of control left before he commands $10M+ on the open market for a franchise #1C who has at least 7 years of control? I guess we'll have to disagree on that.
That's fine, not surprising with the way you constantly post about how Karlsson is overrated and terrible defensively. He's much more than a #1 defenseman, he's the best defenseman in the entire NHL and a top 3-5 player in the entire world. Despite the general idea that we allow talent to leave, it's not true whatsoever. Melnyk will shell out the money needed for Erik Karlsson as he did with Ryan, MacArthur and Hoffman. Matthews is not a franchise #1 C yet but he is trending to become one. Your input on Karlsson lacks insight.
