This would be the worst disaster imaginable...and they would still miss the playoffs.

y? cap is fixed, 3rd line and RD solid af

MTL needs to give up more than that for the best defenseman in the league. The conversation starts with Barron, 2023 1st and Mesar.

on the worst D contract not in LA or his own team

>Barron, 2023 1st and Mesar

retain 50% then

optimistic is one way to describe this

why? what's the prob w this roster

Let’s take Klingberg out of this deal and I still don’t think we accept

I agree with you about needs to be a better package by far, but best defenceman in the league is a stretch. He doesn't play defence well and gets caught up ice often.

He's a minus -5 on a bad team. His defensive game has improved quite a lot since coming to SJ and has been on the top PK Unit until this year and SJ PK has been top 3 last few years.

Karlsson can carry a team on his back and even at 32 is blowing by 23 year olds with ease. He's the best defenseman in the world right now, easily.

Karlsson over Makar, Dahlin, Josi, Fox is a STRETCH

50% is insanity, but i also agree sharks fan is asking too much.

this year i would say yes! as a player i would prefer to build around those guys are all preferred

The 3 positions that need to be fixed are G, C and RHD.

You didn't adress the first two and you spent 17M AAV on RHD while making the worst PK in the league even worst.

All that while loosing 4 prospects, 2x1st and another top 50 pick on a very deep draft.

Terrible asset management for flashy Dmen.

Oh and they are 9 points out of the playoffs.

have you seen the team play games? they SUCK

They're all better than Karlsson. Right now.

what do you think Klingberg with no retention is worth?

what is the prob with these C's when they have these wingers? let's assume they stay healthy for a run

netminders are fine if the D wasn't bad

He’s going to get us at least a 2023 1st while being 50% retained

do the ducks have more trades with retention that would be worth it?

btw, what's the prob this year? they let Steel and Milano leave for peanuts and the O collapsed.
