<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunnymcfoo</b></div><div>I genuinely think this list is ludicrously off base. Let's look at these teams from least to most likely:

1. Vegas - they absolutely are going to be in cap hell next season and with Stone's signing it would take an actual miracle for them to sign Karlsson

2. I'm going to lump Detroit, Chicago, and Florida into this same group because for the life of me I cannot see him signing with a team that's either starting a rebuild or in a perpetual rebuild. He just got out of "never gonna be a contender" hell in Ottawa, why on earth would he sign up for that again?

3. I think that New Jersey is more likely than the last three since they're a little further along in their rebuild and I could almost see it, but the man wants a Cup and I can't see him signing with a team that's currently in 28th place unless they get REAL lucky at the draft.

4. Vancouver and Colorado - maybe? Neither team is particularly great but they've both got a crap ton of picks that they could build with and some cap space. That said, they've also both got a significant UFA and RFA contracts to negotiate this summer &amp; that could very easily demolish what cap space they have.

5. New York or Long Island - I could see either of these being legitimate possibilities for him, but like Vancouver and Colorado they both have a lot of UFA and RFA contracts to negotiate over the summer. They do have a lot of picks available and some cap space, but neither of them have a lot going on at the AHL level &amp; would need to make some good trades to make them the kind of contenders that I strongly suspect Karlsson is going to want.

Additionally, while you say that you think San Jose is an old team and that he'll want to play on a young team you're barking up a foolish tree there. Here's the age averages of the teams you've listed:

1. Colorado - 25 years
2. Florida - 26.4 years
3. New Jersey - 26.5 years
4. Vegas - 26.9 years
5, Chicago - 27 years
6. New York &amp; Vancouver - 27.5 years
7. Long Island - 27.7 years
8. <strong>San Jose - 27.9 years</strong>
Detroit - 28.9 years

San Jose is more or less on average with the Blackhawks, Canucks, Rangers, and Islanders and within a year of the Knights, Devils and Panthers. The Red Wings are actually older than the Sharks by a full year. There's a single player on the Sharks who dramatically skews their average age: if you take Joe Thornton out of the equation then their average age is 26.5 - younger than all but 2 teams on your list &amp; tied with the Devils for 8th youngest in the league.

I think his signing in SJ is the most likely outcome, especially considering the 8th year that they can offer and that they've been a perennial fixture in the playoffs for a very long time and he could very well be the difference maker in them getting a cup.</div></div>

I agree whit yours points. Vancouver good fit if he wants to play whit Petterson. I ment that San jose "key players" / "super stars" are old. Vancouver has Petterson and brock and Avalance has Rantanen and Mackinnon. How cares how old our 4th line is?
