Absolutely not trading for Karlsson's full contract.

Sharks reject as it’s one of the worst offers conceived of on this site yet.

I agree its not a good trade,but one of the worst......lol

What’s so bad about it from the sharks perspective?

The leading Norris candidate for a massive cap dump and nothing else

Rathbone and a 2nd aren’t “nothing else” and Karlsson is the oldest player in this trade with 5 years left at 11.5 million. Myers and Pearson both come off the books in 2024 and are still contributing players.

This is a much better return than what SJ got for burns and this requires 0 retention

Again, Karlsson is also the front runner for the Norris and leads defensive scoring by a bit

Yes and there are 4 more years on his deal after this one as the most expensive defenseman in the league. You are not getting even close to full value on Karlsson despite his impressive start

You're out of your mind if you don't think Grier should jump at the opportunity to get out from under that contract without heavy retention.

Grier probably should but not at this opportunity
there's really not a lot of trades that other teams would offer that are better than just keeping EK in SJ. And on top of that EK would veto almost all of them. They're stuck with him
