Cant make heads or tails about this

Just how much is enough for a 100 point scoring D-man that just won Norris, but is still under pretty bad contract?

There's absolutely zero precedent to any of this. We've seen recently that cap space is, once again, immensely valuable during offseason, meaning whatever value Karlsson had gotten, it's certainly diminished due to his bloated contract.

I personally view Seattle as the best target for a EK trade, cuz they could use a PP quarterback, and have funds to take EK in, and they definitely have assets to make things work.

It just bothers me...does Karlsson have proper trade value that should be invested into...or can SEA get him for like a 3rd round pick with a part of the contract eaten away, similar to Brent Burns for instance?

I think it's somewhere between. I think a proper return for EK is two solid picks, and some cap exchange. SJ can deal the assets they gain here for futures later down the line.

With the STL trade, they recoup some of the picks and add a D-man.
