yep

Not giving up that much for 2 years of Karlsson

This would weaken the left side while strengthening the right. How about Dotchin, Howden, two 1sts?

FWIW Karlsson plans on testing free agency in 2019, So that's probably too much for 1.5 years of Erik Karlsson Tampa can't afford to resign him along with Kucherov Yzerman is on record saying that he wont pay any other player more then what Victor Hedman is making so so long Kucherov and Karlsson then.

Where did Yzerman say that? I follow the Lightning very closely and have never heard that quote.

So do i i live outside of Tampa and heard that he wont pay anyone more then what he's currently paying Hedman, Of course that wil have to change as Kucherov is easily going to command at least $10 million per as would Karlsson neither would take hometown discounts to stay with Tampa.

I can't find that Yzerman quote anywhere.

Kucherov has said through his agent that he wont break the bank on his next contract, so it sounds like he is willing to follow suit with the discounts Hedman and Stamkos took. I'm not worried about Kucherov's contract being under 10 million.

I agree Karlsson will get over 10 million and rightfully so.

That's great if Kucherov is willing to take much less to keep the core together that's awesome, And sorry my mistake it was't a quote from Yzerman but a supposed quote from another Lightning fan quoting Yzerman so he was the one that was wrong.
