only about 3 million off on karlsson and 1 to many years. Avs would not even think about tat trade

In reality, he's probably only a mil off on ek because the advantage Tampa has.

Killorn worth nothing, not a A Prospect. Maybe a 3rd pick or less

Not entirely true. Just because he's not a top 6 Tampa forward doesn't mean worth nothing. Dont think Carolina is the team for him though. Would suit Boston, Philly, Colorado. Probably could help the Habs depth scoring and pk too.

accept EK has said numerous times he wont take any discount and wants something around doughty contract with kings which is 11 million cap hit . what exactly is tampas advantage?

No state tax

No state income tax. At least for half the games.

there is more than one state with that advantage with teams that would be willing to pay EK more than offered. there is no chance he signs that deal at all with any team.
that offer is not even close

Are those teams as good as Tampa???

well no team has tampas record this year or last year but regular season champs doesn't mean anything really and yes a few of those teams are very strong cup contenders without EK adding him would only strengthen there chances. besides without the real ability to dump Callahan, miller, and Killorn where is the cap space coming from. Tampa may be able to sign EK but no chance at that price.

Take out the 2nd in the cally trade, and forget the CBJ trade and I approve.
