Take a look at the bucket of spare parts the Leafs would jettison....um, I mean trade, and tell me you wouldn’t give them up for 2 playoff seasons of Karlsson at his current cap hit.
- Atomic Wedgie

Ya I guess I would do the trade proposal from earlier: rental 3rd line C, B prospect, NHL-ready 3rd liner, mid-to-late 1st

I just don't want anything to do with his next contract

Really, fellas?

Karlsson not good enough for the Leafs?
- Atomic Wedgie

you could get Karlsson for 2 playoff runs..then not re-sign him.. you can debate what thats worth to give up. But he basically dragged the Sens to the conference Finals. A poopty team

But yes he is not good enough for the Leafs

Nobody is good enough for our Leafs

Wrong.... She's dead!

van Riemsdyk / Matthews / Nylander
Marleau / Kadri / Marner
Hyman / Bozak / Brown
Komarov / Moore / Martin

Simple.
- Unholy_Goalie

That's how babs should probably proceed! Actually when marleau was brought in. .I thought it was to play on matthews left wing ..anyway I hope they trade all their RFAs. .collect some picks and prospects. .strengthen the prospect pool and let kappy ..Dermott.. leivo and possibly Johnson(spelling?)..play!.. or whoever?

My trade proposal has nothing to do with Dorion.

It’s about dangling enough cash in front of Melnyk’s face that he chooses to do what is good for Melnyk instead of what is good for Senators fans.
- Atomic Wedgie

Fair enough in terms of the Melnyk point - ultimately, he can't help but Ballard-ize the Sens - but what of Karlsson's NTC? Would he waive it to come to Toronto (aka. The Enemy)?

if Karlsson feels like its the best chance to win a Cup, why not come to Toronto?

I'd do this deal in a heartbeat... which probably means it's a complete and total Leafs homer trade.

Pretending that somehow Dorion has somehow had the vast majority of his brain cells surgically removed from his head via a Chiarelli adorned sledgehammer and is ready to pull the trigger on this deal, would Karlsson even accept a trade to Toronto?!
- mjones242

Wouldn't do it. Not because its not a fair trade or not. Because the resign will definitely haunt the team imo.

- PatC80

Because the Toronto Maple Leafs are the most hated team and biggest rivals to the Senators? Honestly, I don't know if he would even care about that -- which is why I sincerely asked.

Inquiring minds would like to know!

Frankly, and unlike many Karlsson haters here, I think he'd turn this Leafs team into an instant Stanley Cup favourite. I just don't know if he would put the Leafs on his list of teams or not.

Yea, definitely would turn the Leafs into instant contenders;
I hope the Leafs are an option, there is a lot of talent on this team and he would succeed here..

i just think the price is going to be too high.

Most likely very high yes.....

Can you imagine both him and Doughty available for trade at the same time?

People would go nuts.

I think it will too..

It would be great if there was a deal made for Karlsson that didn't include Matthews, Nylander, Marner or Liljegren.

Can you (frank)ing believe you made a impossible scenario of a Leafs team and managed to put the Goat in there?

You will also notice that I put Gardiner in there for some reason

If you were a nuclear technician, working at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on April 26th, 1986, and management told you they have worked out a deal to trade you - all they need is your permission - do you bother to ask, "Where?"
