The offseason stuff thread

[puckhead]

I see this being one of two things:
1) Ottawa is confident in their offer and so is basically saying "go ahead and check" or
2) Karlsson has made it clear that he's done in Ottawa so they're making sure they'll get maximum return by guaranteeing he re-signs long term with whoever they trade to.

For the sake of the Ottawa fans, I hope it's #1. As a fan of a division team, I hope it's #2.

considering they offered him less than Doughty, it's definitely #2
that's an offer to shrug their shoulders when he does leave and say "oh well, we tried"

The Devils will take Justin Faulk.

Hope he comes west. Would love to see him more often

They have 8m in space. Give him all of it. For 8 years.

I love PK Subban.

Yeah, Karlsson's being traded is a when not if right now. Him to Dallas makes sense only if Ottawa gets top defenseman prospect Miro Heiskanen back in return.

big trade. need a big trade!

Kucherov to CBJ
Karlsson to Tampa
Killorn and Dubinsky, and all their moneys to Ottawa.



So, apparently Dallas didn't want to give up a D prospect. Jim's hockey sense is, in fact, Nill.

If Ottawa sweat about trading Hoffman in-division and then turns around and flips their best player to the best team in the division I hope they're playing their hockey in Seattle in a few years.

Shea Weber Out Five To Six Months Following Knee Surgery

Has not been confirmed by any reputable source (or Portzline) yet, so...

Karlsson will be that elusive number one defenseman the Lighting have been desperate for.

 

[Slimpikins]

Ottawa needs a third team to make a trade work?

CALL HIM NOW DOUG!!

I am all for Wilson poaching value from Ottawa's collapse.

 

[puckhead]

everything is happening!!!

I was shocked that my Pens resigned 42 yr old Matt Cullen. I would have preferred Chris Kunitz.

Karlsson and Hedman would be downright scary if it happens. Best d pairing in the league since Suter and Weber for Nashville.

I think that's the first time the phrase "I would have preferred Chris Kunitz" has been posted on this board.
