Lemme think, I'm San Jose's GM and I get this offer. I can either:
A: Continue to pay Erik Karlsson $11.5M for the rest of this season and the next 4, with the knowledge that it's likely he misses time each year, but will probably be a 0.5-0.7 PPG RHD for me when he's healthy, and hope that he can be a good mentor for the young players I'll be bringing through the rebuild over the next 3-4 seasons.
B: Trade my 2023 3rd for a 2023 5th *and* agree to eat $17.5M over the next 5 years to get him off the cap and save $8M/year during a period where, for the most part, cap space will not be as important to my rebuilding squad as it would be if I were contending.
Hmm, gotta think reallllll long and hard about this one.
