Proposed EK65 Greg Wyshynski Deal ESPN

I get that Karlsson improves the teams attack from the back end but, the overall team defense gets worse losing Lustorainen and having no money to improve in other spots

Not worth it at all for Florida IMO

Also Edmonton wouldn’t want Montour they already have Bouchard. This is random but I think Dallas would be a great fit if Montour is traded (which I don’t think he will be).

This would be a terrible deal for the panthers, which is pretty on point for Wyshynski.

The “Karlsson is bad at defense” argument is hilarious. Teams don’t want Karlsson for his defense, common sense. They want him as the games premier PP quarterback, top in the league zone entries and setup and zone exits. Teams want him because he alone can change the game. Karlsson is not praised for his defensive game, you pair him with a defensive defender for that reason. Lest I even mention that his defensive game is far from worst in the league. So stop with the mindless “bad at defense” jargon, coaches use him in primarily offensive scenarios as he is ELITE at that. There is no defenseman in the league that can flat out dominate more than him, Makar and mayyybe Fox. Period. And you’re not prying Makar out of Colorado anytime soon.

I mean not to speak for a whole organization but Edmonton 100% accepts the trade without thinking twice about it.
