Ottawa accepts.

EK65 does not.

Fair if the retention is a LOT less than that.


Actually, just got a new idea. Karlsson for DeBrincat

Avs trade won’t happen. Sharks shouldn’t retain for so long and Avs don’t want to be paying $6M for Couture until he’s 38.

Erik Johnson wouldn’t waive and Meyers/Behrens/2023 1st is a huge return for what would be an expensive and aging middle 6 guy and a 6/7D (who has a weird amount of term also. Strange contract)

For that price, SJ can just keep Hertl. That is not worth it.

I'd say yes to that Ottawa deal but only if we've managed to extend ZUB. Otherwise we're in serious trouble.

lol, was thinking that but then pictured a load of angry Sens fans in this chat.

No because the retention brings Karlsson at 6.9 AAV x 4 years which is not very risky and could continue to be a good contract if he stays relatively healthy

Plus Zaitsev dump...

JBD is a good prospect and while two 2nds is always nice, this is not enough for Karlsson on a good contract

Any Sens fan angry about this would either not realize all this or burying his head in the sand
